Tuesday Morning September 5:

We got a satellite pass about 11:45 pm Monday night. The data show that the Mt.Emily conflagration was stopped yesterday afternoon, but the Bosley Butte containment break grew north and west towards Carpenterville. I couldn’t get it on the map, but it’s 11 miles to Agness.

The incident meteorologist is predicting SW winds this morning 9-12 mph and increasing moisture and cloud cover in the afternoon. Much cooler temperatures in the 70’s to low 80’s. Tomorrow they are concerned about thunderstorms producing winds and lightning, but only a 10% chance of a wetting rain.   Continue reading “Chetco Bar FIRE UPDATE 10 am Sept 5th”

“Law enforcement who come to the hospital for any reason involving patients will be required to check in to the front desk of the hospital,” said chief nursing officer Margaret Pearce of the University of Utah Hospital. “There, a hospital house supervisor will meet the officers to work through each request.”   Continue reading “Calling Nurse A ‘Hero,’ Utah Hospital Bars Police From Patient-Care Areas”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s envoy to the United Nations laid out an argument Tuesday for the U.S. to declare Iran in violation of the nuclear deal, but suggested the Trump administration might then leave it to Congress to decide whether to withdraw.

Those who still remained knew they were hot commodities and weren’t going to settle for low offers.   Continue reading “Immigrants are sought for labor shortage in Harvey recovery”

She found that with an estimated 270 million firearms owned by everyday Americans, civilians own 70 times more weapons than all police and military services combined.   Continue reading “Anti-gun Researcher Frightened by How Many Guns Americans Own”
