Tornadoes In Lowa Killed Seven People, Raesulting In A Million Disaster In The United States

More than 75 million people from Atlanta to Philadelphia were threatened by severe storms on Monday, just days after a horrific tornado outbreak in Iowa killed seven people, including an EF-4 twister.

According to CNN meteorologist Haley Brink, other cities that could see severe weather include Washington, DC, and Baltimore. The main threats include isolated tornadoes and damaging winds.

Monday's storms will bring heavy rain, especially throughout the Ohio River Valley, with rainfall rates of one to two inches per hour possible, she said. Flood warnings have been issued for sections of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia, and the area's soil has already been soaked by torrential rains over the last two weeks.

Any extra rain, according to Brink, will exacerbate the current river flooding.

As broad swaths of the country prepare for the possibility of additional severe weather, recovery efforts in Iowa continue, where several tornadoes struck near Des Moines on Saturday, killing seven people, two of whom were children, and destroying scores of homes.

Residents in Madison County, where Emergency Management Director Diogenes Ayala reported six people were killed, may have had less time to prepare and find shelter due to the delayed broadcast of tornado warnings sent by the local National Weather Service.

Ayala revealed at a press briefing in Winterset on Sunday afternoon that the oldest victim was 72 years old and the youngest was two years old. He had previously stated that there were two children under the age of five.

The Supreme Court Appears To Be Leaning Toward Upholding A Mississippi Abortion Legislation That Would Overturn Roe V. Wade.

Angel

  The Supreme Court hinted on Wednesday that it is on the verge of significantly curtailing abortion rights in the United States, and that it is likely to maintain a Mississippi law that violates one of the key principles of the Roe v. Wade decision, which was handed down over 50 years ago. It was uncertain if the court would finally overturn Roe, which held that women have a fundamental right to terminate their pregnancies. Mississippi's statute forbidding most abortions after 15 weeks, according to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., is not a "dramatic departure" from viability, and gives women adequate time to decide whether or not to terminate their pregnancies. However, none of the court's six conservative members expressed support for upholding the court's ruling that states cannot prohibit abortion before fetal viability, which is commonly believed to be between 22 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. "Why would 15 weeks be an improper line?" he continued. O...

Michelle Mone, a Conservative peer, has been accused of sending a racist message to an Indian-origin man, who claims in an official complaint that she informed him he was "a waste of a guy's white skin." The remark was purportedly used by a Tory member of the House of Lords in a WhatsApp message made in June 2019 amid a discussion over a deadly yacht disaster off the coast of Monaco. The message was part of a series of WhatsApp interactions that were screenshotted and handed to the House of Lords Standards Commissioner as part of a complaint alleging that Lady Mone sent racist and abusive texts. The complaint and screenshots of the discussions have been obtained by The Guardian, in which Mone appears to make insulting statements about the man's partner's mental health, referring to her as a "mental loony" and "nut case bird." Mone's texts were not sent in the course of her legislative duties, according to the commissioner, thus he was unabl...

After industry organizations called for remaining limits and tests to be lifted, ministers are finalizing revisions to the trip Covid testing requirements. According to Star TV, the government may eliminate the requirement for people to take a test two days before coming in the UK. Airlines have claimed that passenger testing is having little real impact, despite data released last week indicating that one in every 25 individuals in England has the virus. Compulsory testing, they claim, has slowed the sector's recovery. It comes as the prime minister prepares to meet with his cabinet to persuade them to support his decision not to impose any more Covid limits in the UK. According to Star Tv, the government is considering removing the recommendation that persons who test positive on a lateral flow device should seek a confirmatory PCR test. Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that he thought the UK could "ride out" the current storm, albeit he admitted that the NHS might be temp...

A guy from the United States has become the world's first person to receive a heart transplant from a genetically engineered pig. Doctors say David Bennett is doing well three days after the seven-hour experimental treatment in Baltimore. Mr Bennett's life was thought to be on the verge of being saved by the transplant, albeit it is unclear how long he will live. Mr Bennet, 57, revealed a day before the surgery, "It was either die or do this transplant." "I know it's a long shot, but it's my final resort." The US medical regulator granted a special permit to doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center to carry out the treatment on the grounds that Mr Bennett would have died otherwise.
