19+ hour, 11+ min ago (270+ words) FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WPTA) - Whether it's a house fire or bad weather destroying your home, the stress of figuring out what to do next can be overwhelming. Last year alone, Indiana Red Cross teams responded to more than 200 emergencies in northeast Indiana, most of which were house fires. RELATED: Red Cross asks Fort Wayne area for help with "critical need' for disaster volunteers Red Cross disaster volunteers make it their mission to help people through that stress. "When you see somebody on the worst day of their life, and they're crying with gratitude, it just does good for your heart." Both Elizabeth Craft and Nancy Clarke are part of the Red Cross disaster action team. Craft began volunteering just two years ago, shortly after retiring. "I would be called out to house fires, trees through a house, car in a…...

Two separate cyclones made landfall on Indonesia and Sri Lanka on Nov. 26, leaving more than 700 dead and about 500 missing on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and 410 dead with about 350 still unaccounted for in Sri Lanka. Torrential rains prompted the Thai government to declare a state of emergency in the southern province of Songkhla on Nov. 25. Some 170 people have died in southern Thailand since the flooding began around a week earlier, according to local authorities....

1+ day, 11+ hour ago (295+ words) Emergency crews are racing to reach survivors and recover more bodies after the death toll from catastrophic floods and landslides surged past 1200 in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand, with more than 800 people missing. Days of heavy monsoon rains inundated vast areas, leaving thousands stranded and many clinging to rooftops waiting for help. The flooding and landslides killed at least 1230 people, with 659 people confirmed dead in Indonesia, 390 in Sri Lanka and 181 in Thailand, authorities said on Tuesday. In Indonesia, the hardest-hit nation, rescuers are struggling to access villages in Sumatra island, where roads have been washed out and bridges have collapsed. At least 475 people remain missing, according to the country's National Disaster Management Agency. Helicopters and boats have been deployed, but officials warn that worsening weather and damaged infrastructure are slowing operations. Military-led rescue teams in Sri Lanka continue to scour…...

1+ day, 18+ hour ago (262+ words) The Bureau of Meteorology has blamed Covid-era inflation and a Coalition government cap on public service headcount for cost blowouts in the IT project and the use of contractors such as Accenture in its controversial overhaul of the agency's website. The agency's new CEO, Dr Stuart Minchin, said the cost reflects the 'significant investment required to fully rebuild all the layers of technology and system that underpins the website'. BoM revealed last month the true cost of its new website to be $96.5m'after initially saying the user-facing aspect was just over $4m. It led to calls to explain why the cost had been so high given public outcry over issues with the new siteBoM asked to explain "what happened here" after cost of website redesign revealed to be $96.5m Continue reading...

1+ day, 19+ hour ago (746+ words) The toll in deadly flooding and landslides across parts of Asia climbed past 1,160 on Monday as hardest-hit Sri Lanka and Indonesia deployed military personnel to help survivors. Separate weather systems brought torrential, extended rainfall to the island of Sri Lanka and large parts of Indonesia's Sumatra, southern Thailand and northern Malaysia last week. Much of the region is currently in its monsoon season but climate change is producing more extreme rain events and turbocharging storms. The World Health Organization said it was deploying rapid response teams and critical supplies to the region. The UN agency's chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters in Geneva that it was "another reminder of how climate change is driving more frequent and more extreme weather events, with disastrous effects". The relentless rains left residents clinging to rooftops awaiting rescue by boat or helicopter, and cut…...

1+ day, 20+ hour ago (200+ words) (KIMT) -- More sunshine is expected Tuesday compared to Monday with temperatures holding in the teens all day long. Southwesterly winds will gradually pull in relatively warm and moist air, gradually increasing temperatures to the low to mid 20s around midnight. A clipper system will roll in Tuesday night, which will bring light accumulations for many. This system will move in and out quickly with only a few hours of snowfall anticipated. At most, 1/2 inch of snow is expected. Bridges, overpasses, and side roads will remain slick for the Wednesday morning commute. Wednesday appears to be the warmest day of the foreseeable future with morning high temperatures in the mid 20s before returning to the low single digits by sundown. This will be the first sign of a massive blast of arctic air that will descend into SE Minnesota and North Iowa into…...

1+ day, 21+ hour ago (815+ words) Unlocking Microclimates: The Power of Precision Weather Models Imagine a farmer struggling with unpredictable crop yields due to localized weather patterns. Or a city planner grappling with designing heat-resilient infrastructure. Traditional weather forecasts, with their broad strokes, often fail to capture the nuances of these microclimates. But what if we could build weather models that zoom in on specific areas, providing ultra-detailed predictions? The core idea is to create a weather forecasting system that uses a variable-resolution grid. Think of it like a digital zoom lens for the atmosphere. We focus high computational power and fine-grained detail on regions of interest, such as a specific farm or urban area, while using a coarser resolution for surrounding regions. This 'stretched grid' approach lets us simulate local weather phenomena with unprecedented accuracy. It leverages machine learning to learn the relationships between observed…...
