NBC News Wrote:Tsunami warnings were issued for parts of Alaska after an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.2 struck off the peninsula's coast early Thursday.
The tremblor struck around 50 miles south of Perryville, a small town of 100 or so people around 500 miles to the south and west of Anchorage, according to Robert Sanders, a United States Geological Survey geophysicist.
“There could be damage and injuries from an event of this magnitude,” he told NBC News, adding that the sparsity of the population mitigated that risk but did not remove it.

The warnings were later canceled, but the NTWS warned in a tweet that "strong and unusual currents may continue for several hours."
Fox 5 NYC Wrote:Fast-moving severe storms rolled through our area Thursday evening, causing several tornado warnings and bringing drenching rain to parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The National Weather Service confirmed that at least one tornado touched down near Trenton.
Another two tornadoes touched down in Pennsylvania, with one causing severe damage in Bucks County.
Flash flooding from the storms turned some neighborhood streets in some parts of New Jersey into rivers.
As the storm moves out to sea, the region should largely dry out overnight as temperatures stay in the 60s.
It seems nature has gone wild in the US as of late...
Fox 5 NYC Wrote:The Interal Revenue Service says that another 1.5 million taxpayers will soon be receiving refunds as it continues to adjust 2020 unemployment compensation because of the American Rescue Plan.
Refunds by direct deposit will begin July 28 and refunds by paper check will begin July 30. This is the fourth round of refunds related to the unemployment compensation exclusion provision. The IRS says that the average refund is about $1,686, higher for this round because the IRS included an adjustment to the Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC).
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, signed into law by President Joe Biden in March, excluded up to $10,200 in unemployment compensation per taxpayer paid in 2020 The $10,200 is the maximum amount that can be excluded when calculating taxable income; it is not the amount of refunds.
Since May, the IRS says it has issued over 8.7 million unemployment compensation refunds totaling over $10 billion. The IRS will continue reviewing and adjusting tax returns in this category this summer.
I hope these are good news for many people that have suffered during the lockdowns.
Fox 5 NYC Wrote:A well-known New York sommelier is facing arson charges in connection with a series of fires at outdoor dining establishments in Lower Manhattan.
The FDNY announced the arrest of Caleb Ganzer, 35, on Wednesday.
FDNY Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro said Ganzer allegedly set fire to outdoor dining structures and garbage in Manhattan between January and July.
On January 8, 2021, the outdoor dining structure owned by Forsythia Restaurant on Stanton St. was set on fire just before midnight.
On June 26, 2021, a garbage fire was started at about 4:30 a.m. at the corner of Broome St. and Centre St.
In the final incident on July 13, 2021, the outdoor dining structure owned by Prince Street Pizza was set on fire just before 3 a.m. The FDNY released a surveillance video of that incident. It showed a man walk across the street, pull out a lighter, and light fires on two sides of the shed before walking away.
No one was injured in any of the fires.
FDNY Fire Marshals initially arrested Ganzer for the July fire and then linked him to the earlier fires.
Fox 5 NYC Wrote:A North Carolina man was arrested after he allegedly put "I (heart symbol) being White" stickers on vehicles and in a restaurant restroom on July 24.Come on! How intimidating could it be to say "I love being white?"
John Kantz, 60, of Cary, North Carolina, was arrested on Saturday after witnesses told police they saw him putting the stickers on cars in an On the Border Mexican restaurant parking lot and inside the restroom of a Totopos Street Food and Tequila restaurant, according to police.
Kantz was arrested the same day and was charged with ethnic intimidation as well as vandalism, according to police reports.
Ethnic intimidation is a misdemeanor in North Carolina, according to Wake County courts.
As of Thursday, Kantz had posted bail, police said.
They wouldn't even care about this if he had said something like "I love being Latino" or African or Asian.
Really it doesn't even make anybody a member of the dreadful KKK automatically.
If people really wanna demonstrate they don't care about skin color, let them just promote themselves freely. Preventing a specific race from telling people they love life is discrimination by default.
