By RUSS BYNUM and AARON MORRISON (Associated Press)JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Hundreds of people gathered Sunday at prayer vigils and in church, in frustration and exhaustion, to mourn yet another racist attack in America: this one the killing of three Black people in Florida at the hands of a white, 21-year-old man who authorities say left behind white supremacist ramblings that read like “the diary of a madman.”Following services earlier in the day, about 200 people showed up at a Sunday evening vigil a block from the Dollar General store in Jacksonville where officials said Ryan Palmeter opened fire Saturday using guns he bought legally despite a past involuntary commitment for a mental health exam.Republican Gov.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:46 GMT

Former President Donald J. Trump has been arrested four times since he left office and declined to participate in his party’s first debate, but Republican voters seem to know who they want, and it’s Trump, according to another round of polls.After skipping the party debate Wednesday evening and despite his arrest by authorities in Georgia on Thursday, recent polling and fundraising indicate that Trump continues to maintain his grip on the GOP.According to Trump’s campaign, on the Friday following his surrender to authorities in Fulton County the 45th president had his best fundraising day of the 2024 campaign. His jail mugshot, plastered on campaign memorabilia and shared across the one-term chief executive’s social media accounts, is apparently quite appealing to conservative donors.“Close to $20 [million] raised in the last 3 weeks, coinciding with indictment in DC and the Atlanta mugshot,” Trump 2024 campaign spokesman Steven Cheung claimed Saturday via X, the social media ...

Could PDO mess with our wet El Niño?

AUSTIN (KXAN) — While we've talked about ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) at length over the past year, there's another player in our weather that we're watching this year...PDO.PDO stands for Pacific Decadal Oscillation and it can influence the amount of precipitation we get in Central Texas.Pacific Decadal OscillationThe Pacific Decadal Oscillation is quantified by a number that represents three things:The strength of the Aleutian Low;Kuroshiro Current: Ocean current that changes over the course of decades; andThe reemergence of pre-summer water temperature anomalies.Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies (Blue is colder than normal)Why do we care?As we've told you there's a relationship between ENSO and rain here in Central Texas.

The more negative PDO is, the less rain we see.PDO/ENSO and Precipitation (NOAA/Clim...
