Storms swept through parts of New England Friday, causing flooding in several communities and briefly triggering a tornado warning for part of Worcester County. With storms still moving across the state around 9 p.m., several communities were already left dealing with flooded roads and other damage. In Deerfield, floodwaters hit several locations, slowing travel on some roads while completely washing out others. The shoulder of Route 5 in one spot in Deerfield was damaged with roughly 300 feet of a gas line “exposed and out of alignment,” according to MassDOT spokesperson Jacquelyn Goddard.Crews, Goddard said, would need to work to fix the line and reconstruct the roadway shoulder when the flood water recedes. MassDOT also reported flooding in communities including Greenfield and Leominster. One video shared with 7NEWS showed hail falling in Leominster Friday afternoon, while another video captured the moment lightning appeared to strike the ground in nearby Gard...

Cleanup underway after fire suppression system goes off at Allston gas station

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:26:39 GMT

A massive cleanup operation was underway Friday after a fire suppression system went off at a gas station in Allston, leaving a coating of white powder across the Shell station’s parking lot and gas pumps. The Shell gas station sits on the corner of North Harvard and Cambridge Streets. There was a large dump truck parked at one of the gas pumps along with several cars when the system went off. Fire suppression systems like the one used at the Allston Shell station use a baking soda-based compound and are typically triggered by heat. As of Friday night, though, officials were still investigating to find out why this system went off.Crews said an ambulance was at the scene to address the side effects of sneezing and coughing from the suppressant, but no injuries were reported. Boston Fire Department Acting Chief Matthew Kenneally said the substance is nontoxic, but a Boston hazmat team was called while they waited for a hazardous waste clean-up crew.“The rapid rate and...

It’s been two months since he’s given up more than three.Designated hitter Harold Ramirez hit an RBI si...

Scientists say Florida Keys coral reefs are already bleaching as water temperatures hit record highs

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:26:39 GMT

By TERRY SPENCER and PATRICK WHITTLE (Associated Press)FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Some Florida Keys coral reefs are losing their color weeks earlier than normal this summer because of record-high water temperatures, meaning they are under stress and their health is potentially endangered, federal scientists said. The corals should be vibrant and colorful this time of year, but are swiftly going white, said Katey Lesneski, research and monitoring coordinator for Mission: Iconic Reefs, which the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration launched to protect Florida coral reefs.“The corals are pale, it looks like the color’s draining out,” said Lesneski, who has spent several days on the reefs over the last two weeks. “And some individuals are stark white. And we still have more to come.”Scientists with NOAA this week raised their coral bleaching warning system to Alert Level 2 for the Keys, their highest heat stress level out of five. That le...

While North Korea fires cruise missiles, it stays mum on US soldier who crossed into the country

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:26:39 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired several cruise missiles toward its western sea Saturday, South Korea’s military said, marking the second launch event this week apparently in protest of the docking of a nuclear-armed U.S. submarine in South Korea.While adding to its barrage of missile launches in recent months, North Korea remained publicly silent for a fifth day on the fate of an American soldier who bolted into the North across the heavily armed Korean border this week.South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launches were detected beginning around 4 a.m. but did not immediately report how many missiles were fired or how far they flew. It said the United States and South Korean militaries were closely analyzing the launches.North Korea in recent years has been testing newly developed cruise missiles it describes as “strategic,” implying an intent to arm them with nuclear weapons. Experts say the main mission of those weapons would include striking naval assets and p...

NEW YORK (AP) — In the winter of 2010, shortly after police discovered the remains of his roommate and three other women buried on a remote stretch of Long Island shoreline, Dave Schaller provided detectives with a description of the person he believed to be the killer.More crucially, Schaller told them about his truck.The man they were looking for was a towering, Frankenstein-like figure with an “empty gaze” who drove a first-generation Chrysler Avalanche, Schaller recalled telling investigators. The man’s size stuck out, as did his unusual pick-up truck, which he’d used to flee the house Schaller shared with Amber Costello.On that night, Schaller said he came home to find the stranger threatening Costello, an occasional sex worker, who had locked herself in the bathroom. The two men came to blows, with the hulking intruder eventually leaving in the truck.Prosecutors say Costello was last seen alive on Sept. 2, 2010, as she left her home to meet that same client. A witness saw a da...
