Weather / It's not a matter of if a hurricane will hit Florida, but when, forecasters say

It's not a matter of if a hurricane will hit Florida, but when, forecasters say
SANFORD, Fla. (AP) — With the start of hurricane season less than a month away, U.S. officials who predict, prepare for and respond to natural disasters had a message for Floridians on Friday: It’s not a matter of if a hurricane will hit, but when.
The 2024 hurricane season is expected to be busier than average. To ensure that people everywhere are prepared, officials visited residents in Sanford, a landlocked city in the middle of the Sunshine State.
Even if they don't live on the coast, the officials told residents, they need to know the potential danger hurricanes pose to their property, such as flooding; and put together an emergency plan that includes a supply kit.
“Everybody in Florida is at risk,” said Michael Brennan, director of the National Hurricane Center.
As if to punctuate Florida's vulnerability to damaging weather, wind gusts of 71 mph (114 kph), just shy of hurricane force, were recorded early Friday in Tallahassee, where mangled metal and other debris from damaged buildings littered parts of the state's capital city.
The officials in Sanford brought along two “hurricane hunter” planes used in the daredevil business of flying into the middle of storms to gather data about their intensity and direction.
The WP-3D, operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the WC-130J, flown by the U.S. Air Force Reserve, fly straight into the storms' eyewall, usually three times during a flight. The aim of the hair-raising trips is to gather information that can help officials on the ground make decisions such as when to order people to evacuate.
NOAA's propeller plane typically has 11 to 17 people on board during flights through hurricanes, including the crew and scientists. Since flights usually last eight hours, the crew members bring plenty of snack food, and there is a microwave, refrigerator and a hot plate for cooking more elaborate meals.
Although the rides can be very bumpy, sometimes they aren't as turbulent as expected and crew members don't realize that they already are in the eye of a hurricane, said William Wysinger, a NOAA flight engineer who has flown on a dozen missions through hurricanes.
“I liken it to riding an old wooden roller coaster during the worst of times,” Wysinger said.
The National Hurricane Center is predicting that the upcoming Atlantic and Gulf season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, will exceed the yearly average of seven tropical storms and seven hurricanes, and that three of the storms will be major. Not all hurricanes make landfall..................

Politics/Government / Ted Cruz, Better Known For Derailing Bills, Tries on a New Hat: Legislator
« Last post by libertybele on Today at 12:59:06 am »Ted Cruz, Better Known For Derailing Bills, Tries on a New Hat: Legislator
Senator Ted Cruz is rebranding — at least for now.
The Texas Republican, whose opening salvo as a freshman senator in 2013 was leading the charge to shut down the government over the Affordable Care Act, has earned a reputation in Congress as a rabble-rousing, uncompromising conservative firebrand who tends more toward obstinance and anti-establishment tirades than bipartisanship or teamwork.
But for the first time this week, Mr. Cruz, now the senior Republican on the Commerce Committee, embraced a wholly unfamiliar role: managing a major piece of legislation on the Senate floor. It came as Mr. Cruz, who is running for re-election in November, is trying to moderate his reputation in Texas and present himself as capable of bipartisanship.
As the ranking G.O.P. member of the committee of jurisdiction, Mr. Cruz this week found himself responsible for helping to deliver the five-year, multibillion-dollar reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration to improve air travel and address passenger woes at a time of intense uncertainty about the system. That involved protecting the package from the sort of legislative and procedural bombs he has lobbed proudly throughout his career.
The irony of his turnabout was not lost on his colleagues.
“I will admit that I’ve had a couple of chuckles about it,” Senator Susan Collins of Maine, the top Republican on the Appropriations Committee, said with a smile.
It thrust Mr. Cruz into some uncharted territory as he worked to pass the bill, which finally glided through the Senate on Thursday night just before a Friday deadline, after he worked with Democrats to bat down an array of amendments that could have complicated its path to enactment.
The Texas senator attended a G.O.P. leadership meeting on Tuesday, working with Republicans like Senator Mitch McConnell, the minority leader, for whom he has long been a thorn in the side.
He presented the legislation to his colleagues during the weekly Republican Party luncheon at the Capitol, and implored senators who were demanding votes on their various proposals to retreat, arguing that the bill already incorporated hundreds of their priorities.
He warned that tacking on policy riders or making major changes to the bill would “unravel” months of careful negotiations and muck up the legislation’s path to passage — something Mr. Cruz knows plenty about as the author of many such proposals in the past.................

Politics/Government / Backers of anti-Israel radicals are funding Dem rival's Senate run, red-state Republican says
« Last post by libertybele on Today at 12:57:16 am »Backers of anti-Israel radicals are funding Dem rival's Senate run, red-state Republican says
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, accused his Senate opponent, Democratic candidate Rep. Colin Allred of Texas, of being financially backed by the same powerful families who are supporting the anti-Israel and antisemitic demonstrations at universities across the country.
Between April 18 and May 3, police either arrested or detained more than 2,200 people on at least 49 college campuses during protests in 26 different states.
"Those protests are being funded by Joe Biden and the Democrats’ top donors," Cruz told Fox News Digital in an interview, saying Allred's donors — the Soros, Rockefeller, Pritzker, and Gates families — had also been either in the past or presently connected to organizations that are supporting the demonstrations against Israel. .............
