Tracking Lee

Here is what we know on Lee looming in the Atlantic about 1200 miles away from the Northern Leeward Islands:– On the forecast track Lee will be located in the Southwestern Atlantic over the weekend. – Tropical Storm Lee is approaching hurricane strength.– It will pass near or north of the northern Leeward Islands this weekend as an intense hurricane.– It’s far too soon to tell if this future hurricane will threaten any other land areas next week.– Interests in Bermuda, the U.S. East Coast and Atlantic Canada should monitor the forecast for next week.Scenario 1: Quicker front and weaker high pressure would favor a track closer to Bermuda.Scenario 2: Slower moving front and stronger high pressure would favor a tracker closer to the U.S. East Coast.

Hurricane Idalia alters migration patterns, leading flamingos to unusual locations

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:52:47 GMT

FLORIDA (WSVN) — The recent passage of Hurricane Idalia has had an unexpected consequence on the migratory patterns of flamingos. These elegant birds, known for their vibrant pink plumage, have found themselves in unfamiliar territory as their northward journey was disrupted.Typically, flamingos migrate northward during this time of the year, but Hurricane Idalia’s path forced them to take detours, leading to sightings in unusual locations, including Ohio, Kentucky, and various parts of Florida. In Florida, flamingos have been spotted in Tampa and Saint Petersburg, far from their usual wintering grounds.Experts are closely monitoring the situation and are cautiously optimistic about the potential long-term impact of this change in flamingo migration. They hope that these displaced flamingos will choose to settle down in the pristine habitat of the Everglades, a crucial natural ecosystem in southern Florida.

Romania confirms Russian drone debris fell on its territory

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:52:47 GMT

Debris from a Russian drone fell on NATO country Romania after the Kremlin blitzed a Ukrainian port on the Danube river, Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tîlvăr said Wednesday. “We covered a very large area, including the area about which there were discussions in the public space and I confirm that pieces were found that could be a drone,” Tîlvăr said Wednesday, according to local media reports.Russia has been bombarding Ukrainian ports on the banks of the Danube since President Vladimir Putin pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal, with missiles and killer drones frequently landing near Romania.Ukraine on Monday initially said that Russian debris fell on Romanian territory, which was vigorously denied by Romanian President Klaus Iohannis. Last November, NATO held crisis talks after a missile landed in Poland, though U.S. President Joe Biden later said it was unlikely to have been fired from Russia. As NATO members, Romania and Poland are protected under article 5 of the...

Voters no longer see Sunak as asset to UK Tories

LONDON — So much for the “President Rishi” strategy.Brits no longer think Rishi Sunak is a plus for his governing Conservative Party, according to a new poll shared with POLITICO.The fresh survey by campaign group More in Common found only 29 percent of voters now agree that the British prime minister — who took on the job after the tumultuous tenure of Liz Truss — is an “asset” to his party, compared to 41 percent who disagree.When the same question was asked back in May, Sunak was viewed as an asset by 36 percent of those polled, compared to 30 percent who disagreed with that assessment.Sunak’s Conservatives face a mountain to climb ahead of an expected general election next year, with the opposition Labour Party consistently ahead in polling. More in Common’s research found that Labour, led by Keir Starmer, has a 15-point lead on the Tories (44 percent to 29 percent) in voting intention.Less rosy for the opposition party, however, is the findin...

CAIRO (AP) — More than 5 million people have been displaced by the monthslong fighting in Sudan, the United Nations’ migration agency said Wednesday as clashes between the country’s military and a rival paramilitary force show no sign of easing. According to the International Organization for Migration, over 4 million people have been internally displaced since the conflicted erupted in mid-April while another 1.1 million have fled to neighboring countries. More than 750,000 have traveled to either Egypt or Chad, the agency said. International efforts to mediate the conflict have so far failed. There have been at least nine cease-fire agreements since the outbreak and all have broken down.
