Hurricane Idalia strengthens over warm Gulf of Mexico waters as it steams toward Florida

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:34:05 GMT

CEDAR KEY, Fla. (AP) — Florida residents living in vulnerable coastal areas were ordered to pack up and leave Tuesday as Hurricane Idalia gained steam in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and threatened to unleash life-threatening storm surges and rainfall.Idalia also pummeled Cuba with heavy rains on Monday and Tuesday, leaving the tobacco-growing province of Pinar del Rio underwater and many of its residents without power.Idalia had strengthened to a Category 2 system on Tuesday afternoon, with winds strengthening to 105 mph (165 kph) by Tuesday evening. The hurricane was projected to come ashore early Wednesday as a Category 3 system with sustained winds of up to 120 mph (193 kph) in the lightly populated Big Bend region, where the Florida Panhandle curves into the peninsula. The result could be a big blow to a state still dealing with lingering damage from last year’s Hurricane Ian.The National Weather Service in Tallahassee called Idalia “an unprecedente...

Column: Unsolved Chicago White Sox mysteries could soon have some answers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:34:05 GMT

The two biggest mysteries of the strangest week in Chicago White Sox history might have been answered.How did two women get shot in the left-field bleachers at Guaranteed Rate Field? And who will replace fired executives Ken Williams and Rick Hahn?The two mysteries are unrelated, though they share some of the usual attributes of a Sox news story, which typically are more ridiculous than what meets the eye.We’ll start with the shooting, a serious issue that became comical thanks to a wild theory emanating from the Sox front office that the bullet that hit the two women might have come from outside the ballpark. Chicago police interim Supt. Fred Waller basically dismissed that theory Monday, saying investigators had “almost completely dispelled” the idea that a bullet from outside somehow hit the two women.That meant someone inside the park apparently smuggled in a gun past security, resulting in the shot that grazed one woman in the abdomen and went into the right t...

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu quietly left town for a family vacation this week without informing the city council president, leaving him unaware that he was the acting mayor for several days.A Wu spokesperson said the mayor was “squeezing in some family time this last week before school starts,” but did not provide the dates for when she left town and would be returning to Boston.“She is available and checking in with the team as usual,” her spokesperson told the Herald on Tuesday.A City Hall source said Wu hasn’t been seen in Boston since she joined Police Commissioner Michael Cox Saturday to provide an update on an early morning shooting in Dorchester that left eight people injured.While Wu’s office wouldn’t say what date she left town, the mayor was absent from two press conferences on Monday and Tuesday, where Cox provided an update on juvenile violence and her administration announced a policy change she had pushed for as a city councilor.Her public schedule was also blank, aside f...

Robert had other plans. He raced to the wall, timed his jump perfectly and robbed Rooker near the 400-foot marker at Guaranteed Rate Field.“As always I saw the ball in the air and I ran behind it,” Robert said through an interpreter after the Aug. 24 game. “And I did it.“The ball got to me very fast. I was fortunate enough I was playing...
