Tonight, the Senate finally corrects a fifty-year mistake by passing the Social Security Fairness Act.
Millions of retired teachers and firefighters and letter carriers and state and local workers have waited decades for this moment.
No longer will public retirees see their hard-earned Social Security benefits robbed from them, thanks to this bill.
The images and stories just beginning to emerge from eastern TN and western NC in the aftermath of widespread catastrophic flooding wrought by #Helene are genuinely horrifying, and the full scale of the disaster is likely as yet untold. #TNwx#NCwx [Thread: 1/n]
#Kilauea volcano's middle East Rift Zone eruption resumed late on Sep 16, 2024, and continues this morning within a remote area of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. During the AM overflight, #HVO geologists observed fountaining & active lava flows on the floor of Nāpau Crater.
The #BridgeFire hit #Wrightwood quickly this week. The community and firefighters worked together to protect homes and lives:
1️⃣ The community was prepared
2️⃣ Residents had a plan
3️⃣ They followed it
4️⃣ #SBCoFD, @LACOFD, and the @Angeles_NF had a plan
5️⃣ Evacuations allowed firefighters to focus on structure defense
6️⃣ Homes had defensible space that helped crews save property
Thank you to the residents of #Wrightwood for being prepared.
@thetimescales@NWSSanDiego@QuickBurn619@FirePhotoGirl The pyrocumulous clouds act quite like normal cumulonimbus clouds in many ways. The lightning strikes are similar, yes. The worst is the dry lightning, those without accompanying rainfall.
*UPDATE*
Residents currently sheltering at the Immanuel Baptist evacuation location will be relocated to the newly established Jesse Turner Community Center location. This transition has been made to ensure continued safety and support for all affected individuals.
#LineFire
@thetimescales@NWSSanDiego@QuickBurn619@FirePhotoGirl The major portion was moving eastward, but some dry lightning ignited brush to the immediate west of the original source (Sat AM). It quickly moved NW up Harrison Mtn. And up to the 330.
Pyrocumulus clouds may form on top of very hot fires, like today for the Line Fire near Highland, CA. These can create very dangerous conditions for fire fighters! As of 630PM, we recorded over 3700 lightning strikes inside the clouds, with over 280 ground strikes! #cawx@NWS
