#HighSurf - Watch when a rogue wave hits the beach at the end of Seward Ave in the City of Ventura. This occurred during the high surf advisory at high tide. Because of this wave eight people were transported to local hospitals. Currently the beaches are closed in Ventura County and so is the Ventura Pier. For your safety, please avoid the area near the ocean, as it can be quite dangerous. Video credit: Ventura Police Department and the City of Ventura.

Tuesday, July 28, 2026 6:15 AM PDT/ 9:15 AM EDT: This beautifully displayed water vapor satellite shows hurricane Genevieve as a powerful category four storm now starting to be connected with the monsoonal flow as it moves into a westward trajectory with thunderstorms over Phoenix, Arizona this morning. She will bring lots of humidity across Southern California, and high heat will continue. Still, she is not having a direct impact on Southern California or Arizona. Still, she is having a strong peripheral effect, with dangerous rip tides from Pismo Beach to San Diego counties, starting Tuesday at 8 PM through Thursday at 7 PM, and moderate south swells of 5 to 8 feet are projected from Santa Barbara to San Diego coastal zones, so be aware of this if you are going swimming this week. The cause is due to the strong El Niño in tandem with the very warm sea surface temperatures of 86° to 92° currently. These tropical conditions will continue to increase across Arizona, Southern California, and Las Vegas in the next 72 hours. The current positioning of the 594 DM high axis over eastern Kansas and northern Oklahoma will continue move Westward over the course of the week building to possibly a 597 DM to 600 DM over western Utah to Bartsow, California bringing the highest heat of the last three week period to Southern California were many valley and major city communities across Central California and Southern California will be between 107° to 119° in addition to unusually high humidity levels of 55% to 60%. will make the heatwave downright potentially dangerous. The major heatwave timeline is from Thursday at 6 AM and escalates until Monday at 7 PM, so keep that in mind. #CAwx #AZwx #Genevieve #heatwave #ElNino

🇺🇸 U.S EAST COAST BRACES AS MONSTER HURRICANE HUMBERTO HITS CATEGORY 5 Humberto just leveled up with winds blasting at 160 mph, and while it's not aiming for land yet, it's definitely making waves. The storm is expected to stay offshore but will throw massive, dangerous surf toward the East Coast starting tomorrow. Rip currents? Check. Life-threatening conditions? Absolutely. Tropical Depression Nine is also out there, slowly spinning into what should be Hurricane Imelda by Tuesday. It's already triggering storm warnings in the Bahamas and could dump up to 6 inches of rain from Florida through the Carolinas. South Carolina isn’t taking chances; the governor declared a state of emergency, and National Guard troops are already on the move. This hurricane season started slow, but now it's flexing hard. First Erin, then Gabrielle, now Humberto: all major hurricanes. That hasn’t happened in an Atlantic season since 1935. Source: NBC News

On April 20, at approximately 1:30 a.m., OPD Crime Center detectives were monitoring the area of Orange Avenue and Central Boulevard when they observed a physical altercation occur outside Thrive Cocktail Lounge & Eatery, located at 13 South Orange Avenue. During the fight, detectives observed a handgun fall from the suspect’s pants. The suspect picked up the weapon and put it back in his pants. Crime Center immediately alerted nearby officers to respond. As officers were responding, the suspect pulled out the handgun and fired a single round into the air. Responding officers gave multiple commands for the suspect to drop the weapon. The suspect refused the commands. In response, officers fired their firearms striking the individual. The suspect was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center (ORMC), where he was later pronounced deceased. The suspect had three prior misdemeanor arrests, all drug-related. The officers involved were not injured and will be on paid administrative leave. As with all officer involved shootings, FDLE will conduct an independent review of the incident, that will be turned over to the State Attorney’s office. Additionally, the Orlando Police Department will conduct its own internal investigation. The officers did have their body worn cameras on during the incident. The quick response in this incident is an example of the ongoing efforts to enhance safety in downtown Orlando. Through increased patrols, proactive policing, and citizen-generated calls, OPD has encountered approximately 500 firearms in the area over the past year.

Misleading Information Issued by the “Ministry of Defense” Our forces categorically reject and deny the misleading claims issued by the so-called “Ministry of Defense” of the Damascus government regarding alleged military movements or deployments of our forces on the Deir Hafer front. We affirm that no unusual movements or preparations have taken place. It is clarified that the gatherings observed were limited to civilians from northern and eastern Syria, who had assembled solely to receive the wounded arriving from Sheikh Maqsoud and al-Ashrafiyah. On the contrary, the area has been witnessing intensive flights of Turkish drones , including Bayraktar and Akinci , in addition to suicide drone attacks and artillery shelling targeting the city of Deir Hafer and its surrounding villages, as well as the Thawra Field area. These developments raise serious concerns and suspicions. We present these facts to the public. Furthermore, we share with the public documented images showing the remnants of projectiles from Turkish Bayraktar drones that targeted one of the facilities in the Maskanah area.

Taliban Allows Local Reporters at Strike Site After waiting overnight, our team was finally allowed to enter the strike site. Upon inspection, we found no traces of blood or significant structural damage. Neither ZAWIA News, Afghan Times, nor other media outlets currently have reported any visible casualties. Although the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan authorities claimed the strike targeted a rehabilitation center in central Kabul, our team observed no evidence to support this. Only minor structural damage and fire-related effects were visible. Some people were present at the site, and we tried to speak with them. A few agreed to interviews, They told us that the blast occurred a little further away and not at this location, confirming that we are safe. Local sources also confirmed that the impact was limited to the immediate area affected by flames. The site otherwise appeared intact, and no injured individuals were present during our visit. Some sources added that the fire near the rehabilitation center was minor and may have been caused by a nearby Taliban military camp struck by Pakistan. The attack reportedly involved an explosion, with flames from ammunition observed at the site.

Monday, April 28, 2025, 9:19 AM PDT: Another unseasonable very cold Pacific storm will be moving into Central and Southern California, including Northern California, starting May 3 through the fifth of 2025. This system will pack a punch, possibly bringing more measurable rainfall to the region as this now is looking to be a strong polar jet stream interaction from the central Pacific moving in no later than Saturday at 4 PM through Monday until about 6 AM. Expect possible isolated strong thunderstorms and low-elevation snowfall down to about 4,000 feet, and temperatures to remain below average for the entire week. Continuing into the upcoming weekend, temperatures will get January-like in May for the region that includes all of Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. I’m watching this situation also possibly turn severe as it heads into Oklahoma and Texas, Nebraska, and Kansas by May 5 through the ninth of 2025, as these California storms introduce more jet energy into already turbulent times for the midwestern states during the peak of tornado season. #CAwx #CaliforniaStorms #May

Crews are now working through the damage as the community begins to pick up the pieces. 🎥 Here’s a look at what we’re seeing on the ground. The Weather Channel will continue reporting from here through Sunday and Monday, while also tracking another round of severe weather possible early this week, with the latest information people need to stay safe. #tornado #MIwx #UnionCity

A 33-year-old tourist from Karnataka died after being swept away by powerful waves while sitting on rocks at Baga Beach in north Goa, officials said on Wednesday. The victim was identified as Sahas Ashpak Masali, a resident of Karnataka's Bijapur district. According to preliminary information, Masali was sitting on rocks along the shoreline when a series of strong waves, triggered by rough sea conditions, swept him into the water. Despite immediate efforts to trace him, he was carried away by the powerful currents. Authorities launched a search and rescue operation shortly after the incident. After several hours of searching, rescue teams recovered his body from the shoreline. A video purportedly capturing the incident has since gone viral on social media, underscoring the dangers of venturing onto rocky stretches during rough sea conditions. The footage appears to show a man struggling in the turbulent waters near the rocks after being overwhelmed by the waves. With the sea churning violently and visibility poor, an immediate rescue was difficult, while onlookers on the shore could be heard reacting in shock as the incident unfolded. Following the tragedy, officials once again urged tourists to stay away from rocks along the coastline and avoid entering the sea during high tide or periods of rough weather. They warned that powerful waves can strike without warning, making rocky coastal areas particularly dangerous.

Today, during a UN humanitarian mission in Kherson, Russian FPV drone operators attacked a UN convoy with multiple drones, effectively ruling out any possibility of the strike being accidental. UN personnel were forced to abandon their vehicles, while local authorities had to urgently organize the evacuation of the UN staff from one of the most dangerous areas of Kherson after the convoy lost its transport as a result of the drone strikes. At the same time, it is difficult not to be struck by the standard UN response of “we do not know which side carried out the attack.” This remains the organization’s consistent policy despite repeated attacks on UN staff, vehicles, and humanitarian convoys in Kherson, and despite Russian drone debris regularly being found at the sites of such strikes. I sincerely thank the UN personnel who continue risking their own safety and lives to help the residents of my hometown, even in its most dangerous districts, as in this case. But refusing to acknowledge the obvious reality that Russia is behind attacks on humanitarian convoys serves only to deepen the sense of impunity enjoyed by those committing these war crimes.

The UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces said they arrested several individuals, including Brig. Gen. Al-Fatih Abdallah Idris, known as “Issa Abu Lulu,” for “violations” committed during the capture of El Fasher, where he and others were recorded executing dozens of civilians. The group claims that "legal committees" are investigating the cases. The statement from the Emirati-backed group stressed adherence to military discipline, human rights, and international law, rejecting "media exaggeration by the Islamic Movement" and reaffirming that all offenders will be held accountable. It should be noted that this is most likely damage control in response to the widespread footage of the atrocities committed by the RSF in El Fasher, as forces continue to target civilians.
