Against all odds, Democrats have won back the Senate. We have five words for the American people: Relief is on the way.

A parade of rapidly intensifying storms will affect Ireland and the UK over the coming days… With Storm #Austen currently impacting the region, #Boelo is next in line to bring significant impacts this weekend. Another storm looks possible early next week as well.

What you’re seeing here isn’t a tiny tornado — that’s a subvortex of a MUCH larger tornado that basically engulfed a mountain. Probably one of Utah’s strongest tornadoes on record — perhaps winds in the 120-150 mph range. An absolutely wild event today:

We are grateful to everyone who has shared a kind message about my dad, particularly the leaders of the other parties. My family and I have been helped though this difficult time by people’s warmth and compassion. It means a great deal to us and we wanted to say thank you.

The National Weather Service in Buffalo, New York oversees marine forecasts for the entire U.S. side of what, since 1641, has been known as Lake Ontario. But the National Weather Service can't say "Lake Ontario" anymore – per President Trump's Executive Order 14422, it's Lake America or nothing. Today, the Buffalo office got a bit... creative... in referring to "our eastern Great Lake." No directives were broken. The lake was never named.

Illinois officially has a new state hail record! ⛈️ A colossal hailstone, measuring 6.603 inches in diameter, was confirmed by the SCEC following a storm on March 10, 2026, near Kankakee, IL. It reached historic size, weight, and volume! Learn more: bit.ly/ILHailRecord

FUN FACT: There is an officially named ‘Trump Lake’ in a remote part of Northern Ontario, approx 34 miles north of Chapleau. The lake has no depth whatsoever, is completely isolated and full of algae. It’s also crawling with bottom-feeding scum-suckers and smells like shit.

High Wycombe cell with surface convergence and temperature, constructed from Wunderground observations in the area; large hail of around 3 centimetres in diameter occurred in the area around 15:40 BST. AROME sounding in the area shows high CAPE in the hail growth zone.
