MY LATEST: Texas prisons officials insist no inmates have died from extreme heat behind bars for more than a decade.
But we got autopsies that show the heat was a possible (or likely) contributing factor to in least three deaths just last year.

Our NPR investigation found thousands of veterans and servicemembers with VA loans are facing foreclosure through no fault of their own. The VA could fix this. npr.org/2023/11/11/121185595…

This is from the Mendenhall River Floods in Alaska.
This happened over a span of six hours. 😧
Can you imagine watching that happen to your home knowing there’s nothing that can save it?

But it still caught the forecasters by surprise. These details from @AnnaCanny28 are pretty shocking. “There is no comparison,” said meteorologist Nicole Ferrin, with the National Weather Service in Juneau. “We’re two feet over our last record.”
