Toxic chlorine plant fire adds to Louisiana’s Hurricane Laura woes

 

A chlorine production plant is on fire in southwestern Louisiana, spewing a thick toxic cloud into the air just hours after Hurricane Laura passed through the area.

 

Residents of three towns were ordered to shelter in place until further notice — and to keep their doors and windows closed and air conditioners turned off, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards said on Twitter.

 

“TURN OFF YOUR AIR CONDITIONING UNITS,” the tweet instructed in all caps.

 

The Bio Lab Inc. complex produces chlorine for swimming pools, reported Nola.com.

Hurricane center keeps eye on 2 systems in the Atlantic

 

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical waves moving west in the Atlantic, both of which have chances of becoming the next tropical depression or tropical storm.

First, a wave about 550 miles east of the Windward Islands is gradually developing and moving at 15 mph. It has a 20% chance of developing over the next two days and a 30% chance of doing so in the next five, according to the NHC’s 2 p.m. Saturday update.

 

Second, a wave southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is moving through unfavorable conditions but has a 40% chance of developing over the next five days.

 

A low-pressure area is also expected to form off the southeastern U.S. coast early next week, though it has a 20% chance of developing over the next five days as it moves east-northeast across the northwestern Atlantic, forecasters said.

Hurricane Laura so powerful Texas river flowed backwards for hours

 

When Hurricane Laura reached the US coastline last week, her force was so strong she actually reversed the flow of a river for more than 12 hours.


According to the US Geological Survey, an organisation that measures the flow of local waterways throughout the country, strong winds brought on by Laura managed to push the flow of the Neches River, in Texas, in the opposite direction when the storm reached the Louisiana/Texas border on Thursday.

 

The death toll so far from Hurricane Laura has reached 16, with much of Louisiana's southwest the worst hit by the storm.


Authorities are warning locals could face weeks without power or clean water as the clean-up operation continues.

Tropical Storm Omar forms as Nana approaches Central America

 

Tropical Storm Omar formed off the U.S. East Coast on Tuesday as Tropical Storm Nana approached the coast of Central America, the U.S. National Hurricane Center reported.

 

Forecasters predict Nana will strengthen to a hurricane by the time it makes landfall Thursday and said people in Honduras, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula should closely monitor the storm’s progress. Strong winds, a dangerous storm surge and very heavy rainfall causing flash flooding are likely.

Japan Urges Millions to Evacuate as Typhoon Looms

 

Japanese authorities on Sunday ordered more than a million residents of western Japan to seek shelter as a major storm lashed the coast with high winds and threatened record-breaking flooding.

 

Typhoon Haishen sat off the coast of the western island of Kyushu gathering power and creating chaos in the region, where it knocked down power lines and disrupted flights and trains.

Local officials ordered 1.8 million people to evacuate seven prefectures across the region and recommended that another 5.6 million across ten prefectures seek shelter ahead of the storm, which was expected to pass by Japan without making landfall and head toward South Korea.

 

The Japan Meteorological Agency issued its highest-level warning for the storm, cautioning that it would bring record-high tides and that residents should be prepared for “large-scale flooding.”

Los Angeles County sets record temperature as scorching heat wave wallops Southern California

 

Record-breaking temperatures hit again Sunday as a historic heat wave sweeps through Southern California during the Labor Day weekend, CBS Los Angeles reports. Woodland Hills set a record temperature of 121 degrees on Sunday afternoon, the "highest official temperature ever recorded in L.A. County," according to the National Weather Service. The previous record was 119, which was set in 2006.

 

NWS also announced Sunday that Paso Robles in San Luis Obispo County hit a record 117 degrees. Burbank tied an all-time high of 114 degrees, which was set Saturday.

 

NWS said temperatures will not begin to cool until Tuesday, and even then will remain above normal for the week. The extreme heat has caused power outages and cooling centers were opened for Southern California residents.
