UPDATE: TORNADOES AND FLOODING IN THE PLAINS
 UPDATE: Tornadoes and Flooding in the Plains
State College, Pa. -- June 10, 2008 -- AccuWeather.com reported earlier today that severe storms erupting tonight over the Plains would not only bring new concerns for flooding, but would also spawn tornadoes.
Major cities in path of potentially destructive storms tonight include: Omaha, Topeka, Des Moines, Minneapolis and Wichita. On Thursday, the system and the same concerns will shift into the Midwest and middle Mississippi Valley. Areas likely to be targeted by the storms Thursday include: Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Kansas City and Tulsa.
"We expect this activity to continue at least until midnight over the Plains," AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist John Feerick said. "So far, there are 28 reported tornadoes from Minnesota to North Central Kansas. There are some feisty storms out there, so we can expect that number to double or even triple by the end of the night."
Feerick said there have been two confirmed tornado reports in Douglas County west of Omaha. Local Iowa press has reported that a tornado hit a scout camp in western Iowa, injuring 40 with possible fatalities.
Daytime heating added to the instability over the Plains. Tonight, severe storms containing heavy rain, large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes will erupt from western Oklahoma to Minnesota.

SOUTH CAROLINA EXCITED ABOUT THIRD BLACK PRIDE
South Carolina Excited about Third Black
Pride
The African-American lesbian, gay, bisexual,
and transgender community of South Carolina and its allies will be out and proud
during the month of June as the state holds its Third Annual SC Black Pride,
June 25-29, 2008 in Columbia, SC.
With a provocative theme of
"Black Pride: 365," it promises to be better and bigger than the groundbreaking
first and second prides. Organizers anticipate a record 2,000 South
Carolinians and out-of-town guests will participate in its many special events,
official parties, and a Community Expo.
§ The official
week begins Wednesday, June 25th with a Welcome Reception at the chic Tappas Bar
and Restaurant, Club Hush (1004 Gervais) in which Mayor Bob Coble will present
us with a City Proclamation and be joined by various other dignitaries.
§ We have an outstanding artistic event --- A Night Out with the Arts
--- where we will feature Readings by Writers both well-published and emerging
Black LGBT authors and the excerpt from a musical production, For the Love of
Harlem by the Carolinas Black Pride. It has only a $12.00 charge and is
occurring on Friday, June 27th, 6-9 PM, at the Columbia Musical Festival
Association's ArtSpace, 915 Pulaski Street,
§ It will reach a climax at the day-long Community Expo on Saturday,
June 28th, 11- 5:30 PM, at the Margarette Miller Center (1509 Fontaine), and the
Community Awards and Jazz Reception, on Sunday, June 29th, 3-5pm, Eau Claire
Print Building (3909 Ensor Ave.) Featured at the Expo will be a bevy of
local talent as well as Mini-Ball endorsed by the South Carolina Ball
Council.
To further stir up the buzz there will be "fun-raisers"
leading up to Black Pride including:
§ Sunday, June 15th – Free Volunteer Training & Appreciation
Dinner, 6-8pm (Harriet Hancock Center)
§ Wednesday, June 18th –
Pre-Black Pride 70's Party, "Light Under Sun" (Club Fusion)
"Our purpose is to celebrate the often subjugated creativity, beauty,
dignity, and brilliance of South Carolina's Black LGBT community," says Dr. Todd
Shaw, Chair, of the SC Black Pride Committee. "The double whammies of
racism and homophobia attack we same-gender loving sisters and brothers.
And now's the time the Black community understand how much we contribute to the
larger freedom struggle and the larger society understand how much we contribute
as loving mothers, fathers, teachers, preachers, and young
leaders."
Speaking of preachers, one of the events that promises to
be highly informative is the Thursday, June 26th, 7:00-8:30pm, Town Hall Debate
at the University of South Carolina Law School Auditorium: "Because the Bible
Told Me So: Is Homosexuality a Sin?" WIS News 10 anchor Craig Melvin has
agreed to serve a moderator.
Among an exciting and diverse panel of ministers and theologians will be
the dynamic Bishop Tonyia M. Rawls, one of the first two women newly elevated to
bishop in the Unity Fellowship Church Movement --- the largest Black gay-led
Christian Church in the United States. Bishop Rawls believes, "I look
forward to an open dialogue where we really have an opportunity to explore how
together as a community we can move to place of being more affirming, welcoming,
and supportive of families [lgbt and otherwise] as a whole."
All
are welcomed! To learn more about this Pride's many empowering events

FIRST HEAT WAVE OF 2008 HITS EAST THIS WEEKEND
First Heat Wave of 2008 Hits East this Weekend
Heat Develops Across Nation
State College, Pa. -- June 4, 2008 -- AccuWeather.com reports the first heat wave of 2008 will begin on Friday across the Northeast. The air mass that will enter the region is the same one that produced record heat over the southern Plains during the past several days.
 A relatively seasonable air mass will be in place on Thursday, even cooler than normal over coastal areas of New England, but a warm front will open the floodgates and allow heat and humidity to pour over the region. It remains to be seen how many records will fall in the Northeast, but it looks like most areas will have heat through the weekend and into early next week.
A heat bubble is already gripping the southern Plains and Desert Southwest. These two regions will also have to endure winds gusting past 45 mph at times today. The high winds have prompted the issuance of wind advisories.
The strongest wind gusts will be reserved for the afternoon and evening hours across the Desert Southwest. Motorists should be prepared for blowing dust to dangerously lower visibility in a short period of time. Red flag warnings are in effect to warn residents of the elevated fire danger that also exists.
