Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:40:16 GMT

FARGO, N.D. — A historic flood warning for the Red River in December may have weather watchers and the general public wondering what season we’re in.Select river points are rising in the southern Red River basin due to excessive, unseasonable rainfall, which also contributed to a damaging ice storm over the past few days.“We believe this is the first,” said Carl Jones, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, about a flood warning in December.Since 2003, when the weather service there began its current format of flood warnings, it has not issued such a warning in December, he said.It has issued multiple flood warnings outside of the spring and summer months, including September, October and November, and once in February of 2017.But up until now, a flood warning had not been issued in December or in January.Most Red River Valley flooding happens in the spring from snow melt and occasionally in the summer from heavy rains or thunderstorms.“It’s very unusual in...

Maine bars Trump from ballot as US Supreme Court weighs states' authority

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:40:16 GMT

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally as the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to decide whether Trump remains eligible to return to the White House.The decision by Secretary of State Shenna Bellows follows a ruling earlier this month by the Colorado Supreme Court that booted Trump from the ballot there under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. That decision has been stayed until the U.S. Supreme Court decides whether Trump is barred by the Civil War-era provision, which prohibits those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office. Donald Trump currently slated to appear on Colorado ballots The Trump campaign said it would appeal Bellows' decision to Maine's state courts, and Bellows suspended her ruling until that court system rules on the case.

Marshall Fire survivors still waiting for Xcel Energy to turn power back on

BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — At the top of Spring Drive off South Boulder Road, a majestic view of Boulder and the Flatirons remains obscured by construction vehicles.The view is what drew Roger and Naomi Salaman to build a home here in the 1950s — a home they remained at until two years ago, when the Marshall Fire destroyed everything. Local governments sue Xcel Energy over Marshall Fire "My brother said, 'OK, you have 10 minutes to get out, get in the car,' and they went, said Nancy Brace, their daughter. "And they took the car and the clothes on their back just like so many other people did. At least they got out with their lives."Brace said her parents purchased a pre-fabricated home from Minnesota and shipped it here in May. But the home, now sitting on a finished foundation, remains unfinished inside.That's because according to Brace, Xcel Energy still has not connected power to the home, and they need that power to finish construction."They had to rework how the...

Barry Goudreau revisits Boston & beyond

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:40:16 GMT

If you saw the band Boston in its ‘70s heyday you’ll know they had two killer guitarists, not just one. The one that you can still see up close at a club gig is Barry Goudreau.Goudreau left the superstar band in 1980, and in recent years he’s arguably been the most visible member of Boston’s classic lineup. He led two recording bands, RTZ and Orion the Hunter, and worked extensively with fellow Boston alums Brad Delp and Sib Hashian (both now deceased). There’ll be plenty of Boston in the set when his current band the Engine Room plays City Winery on Saturday. But the band has two albums worth of solid original songs to draw from as well. And they also do some cover tunes, including a couple (from Joe Walsh’s original band the James Gang) that Boston did in the very early days.“We’ve had a good time making music with Engine Room- – The first record we did was more looking back at my blues roots, and the second was more of a rock record,” he said this week. “The influences you ...
