Another round of brutal weather slamming the West Coast this weekend. Brittnany Bell from our New York station WABC is in for Somara. Hey there, Britney, good morning to you.
Hey, Jaina, and good morning to you too. As well, Just a wet and messy weekend shaping up for most of California. This was the scene in Santa Rosa just north of San Francisco yesterday with those raindrops coming down. More is on the way, all thanks to this large coastal storm.
That dye of south, prompting all of these flood alerts. I want to point out this flood warning for Los Angeles, saying that landslides are likely. And with that flood watch, up to 1 to 3 inches of rain is possible. Locally, up to 6 inches of rain could come down. So this is why.
Let’s look at the timing. The steadiest rain will fall throughout this morning. Showers will turn more scattered as we head into this afternoon and this evening, will still very wet, and messy wet weather continues into early tomorrow morning.
We talked about the rainfall totals. Let’s switch over to snow over the next 5 days for the higher elevations. As that moves off to the east, 6 to 12 inches of snow are possible, and up to one to two feet for parts of this here in Nevada. Trevor.
All right, thank you, Brittnany.

“Be in for someone”: This phrase typically means that someone is substituting or filling in for another person, as in the example “Brittnany Bell is in for Somara.”
“Be in for something”: This phrase usually indicates that someone is about to experience or receive something, often something anticipated or expected, as in the example “The weather report says we’re in for heavy rain this evening.”
If you’ve been feeling some seasonal sniffles already or find yourself reaching for a tissue or eye drops, you’re not alone. Warmer winters are leading to earlier springs, and that means earlier allergy seasons. Tashauna Reid has more.
It’s that time of year - spring is in bloom, and so are seasonal allergies. And with a milder winter in some parts of the country, it meant some Canadians experienced seasonal allergies much earlier this year.
In BC, seasonal allergies started at the end of January.
“I get allergy shots, and to that like every single week. It’s just some runny noses and some stuffy noses and itchy eyes and itchy of my palates.”
Scientists at this lab in Ottawa track pollen and fungal spores. They collect daily air samples from 30 stations across Canada, and over the last three decades, they’ve seen a shift.
“What we’ve see in Canada over the last 10-15 years is definitely an increase in overall pollen levels, as well as concentration, as well as duration of season.”
Their data shows the pollen season to be about 2 to 3 weeks longer in Canada, starting earlier and ending later in the year. And some researchers say climate change is to blame. Pollen thrives in warm temperatures, and with more carbon dioxide in the air, it can lead to higher pollen concentrations.
“About 20 to 25% of the Canadian population does have environmental allergies. We can definitely say that as the pollen counts are higher and the seasons are longer, more people will notice their allergies.”
The biggest culprits? Tree pollen in the spring, grass in the summer, and ragweed heading into the fall. Allergists say it’s likely we will continue to experience longer and intense allergy seasons, and for people who deal with it, they’ll need to find ways to lessen the impacts.
That can mean seeking relief through over-the-counter medications or prescriptions, or limiting your exposure to pollen, from closing windows to wearing sunglasses and showering after being outside.

So let’s go to our transportation reporter, Sam Sweeney, right now. He’s in our Washington Bureau. Sam, record show that among the 27 times this ship was inspected, it came back clean all but twice. So, you know, what is that tell you about the nature of the ship and about what happened here?
Look, the ship was relatively a smooth operation. There were issues in 2016 and one last year, but that’s pretty common among these major ships. They are like massive floating cities.
This ship could carry more than 10,000 containers. It was roughly half full when it was on its way to Sri Lanka for this journey. When just a few minutes into the journey, it hit that side of the bridge.
And leading into the investigation, the NTSB, the other investigating agencies not just here in the United States but also from Singapore where this ship is flagged, will be looking at all of that, all of the history. They’ll be looking at the crew, down to drug testing the crew who was on board.
Now we have no reason to believe that there was any suspicious behavior, that this was simply a mechanical failure, and that’s where they will focus in this investigation. But they are going to look at every aspect to make sure they don’t miss anything.
Well, let me follow up on that, Sam. Governor Wes Moore of Maryland and the president of the United States have said there’s no credible evidence of terrorism, that this crash involved terrorism at all. But we spoke with a maritime expert a little bit earlier who said they should still look at the possibility of a cyber attack that has happened on ships before.
Yeah, look, these investigators are going to look at everything. They’re going to examine the crew, they’re going to interview the crew, they’re going to look at surveillance video, they’re going to look at the bridge, they’re going to look at the cameras that were on the bridge, possibly even the construction worker that was rescued and was okay. Everybody is going to have a conversation with these investigators. Every piece of that ship is going to be looked over, and they’re going to figure out exactly what happened.
When you look at an airplane investigation, they look at the black boxes, they try to figure out everything that was done inside that cockpit. Well, the same thing is going to happen in this situation.
All right, Sam Sweeney, thank you very much.

This is an iron lung, an iconic metal box invented by scientists in 1927, which revolutionized respiratory care. But why was it invented?
In the early 20th century, polio was ravaging Europe and North America. The worst cases involved muscle paralysis, a symptom that, when affecting the spinal cord, meant the patients couldn’t breathe—a condition that almost certainly sealed their fate.
Enter the iron lung, a massive airtight metal box wrapped around the body of the patient to make sure their lungs kept doing their job even when their muscles couldn’t. So how did it work?
Patients would lie in the cylindrical chamber with only their head exposed, while the machine rhythmically changed the air pressure inside the chamber.
As the pressure decreased and increased, the patient’s chest would rise and fall just like the natural process of breathing.
An 8-year-old girl was the first to receive the treatment; she went from near death to breathing normally within seconds of being put into the box.
Despite being a life-saving device, the iron lung wasn’t without limitations. Patients needed round-the-clock care and were confined to the machine often for weeks or months at a time, which limited their mobility and quality of life.
The iron lung fell out of use with the arrival of the first injectable polio vaccine, designated safe to use in the US in 1955.
Today, 92.5% of children in the US receive the polio vaccine by age 2. But the iron lung was a real hero in its time, keeping people alive when they needed it the most.

Kensington Palace has said, “The Prince and Princess of Wales are enormously touched by the kind messages they have received following Catherine’s cancer diagnosis.”
It released a statement on Saturday night, which also added they were grateful that the public understood their request for privacy.
Catherine revealed in a video message on Friday that she had begun treatment. Here’s Daniela Relph.
This is the National with Erica Johnson: Catherine, the Princess of Wales, made a shocking announcement, making headlines globally.
The impact of the Princess’s diagnosis has been felt far and wide.
Her video message was the most direct and personal we have ever seen the princess. “This, of course, came as a huge shock.” It was also an attempt to shut down the rumors.
I think what the Princess of Wales is hoping is that this message will be direct enough to appeal to people’s better natures and say, “Look, the invasion of privacy that was been going on on social media for the last couple of months has just been way too much. People need to stop and think and not engage in that kind of activity going forward.”
And now a fresh statement from Kensington Palace, a public thank you.
It said, “The prince and princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth, and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness’s message. They are extremely moved by the public’s warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time.”
Family has rallied around the princess, including those with whom relations are strained. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent a public message of support. The BBC understands they’ve also reached out privately.
Public sympathy remains strong. “We’ve been thinking of her all along and wish her the best.” “They’re going through something so private and hard, and the public eye on it was really tough, to be honest. Yeah, she’s got young kids, right? And she’s a human being, so I thought it was quite upsetting.”
Protecting her three children has been a priority for the Princess of Wales. She said she has taken time to explain and reassure George, Charlotte, and Louie.
The new message from the prince and princess is both a thank you and a polite warning. They now want to be left alone. We don’t expect to hear from them over the Easter holiday. Instead, we may see the king back in the world Spotlight.

Nowadays, visits to remote and fragile ecosystems have witnessed a dramatic increase in popularity around the world. It is undeniable that visits have negatively affected the ecosystems in these isolated and remote ares. This essay will demonstrate several issues related to this kind of Eco-tourism and will showcase effective and efficient solutions to better handle them.
Undoubtedly, there are a great number of problems arising from eco-tourism in our society recently. The first and the foremost one is the disruption of the life and culture of indigenous groups and local people. As we know for sure, what some visitors to this kind of remote areas could do is that they are very likely to bring their own cultures and traditions to negatively affect local people, which could damage the pure cultural diversity of local indigenous communities. In addition, the intact, pristine and original natural environment in remote, fragile and delicate areas could be severely polluted by visitors. For example, attracted by the beauty of nature and the wonderful views in certain forests and mountains, some hikers and campers choose to build some camping sites in these areas for days, during which they could leave much trash and wastes compromising the diversity and the growth of local environment.
By exploring a range of ideas and academic papers, I found that several useful solutions are available to wrestle with these problems. From the angle of authorities and government, there should be some regulations and laws against some behaviors that might harm certain species and environment and in favour of some actions that might protect the completeness of remote and precious ecosystems. Furthermore, if individuals exploring these remote and deserted areas could make some efforts to learn local cultures and raise their awareness of keeping ecosystems intact, the diversity of local cultures and valuable species could be less likely to be spoiled for further serious impacts.
In conclusion, despite some advantages coming from more and more visitors choosing delicate and remote ecosystems as their travel destination, such as more developed economy and higher income for local communities, setting steps on these fragile areas could definitely cause countless problems for environment and culture. Therefore we should employ some solutions to address these problems due to government and individual efforts.
