Our marathon was canceled in November. Who knows if that changed someone’s plans [...] Grabbing shovels large and small, residents and emergency workers across the Northeast struggled to dig out on Sunday after a gigantic midwinter storm left much of the region buried under drifting snow.

In an analysis of 18 years of data from 1,296 counties in 15 states, researchers found that Americans living in areas infested by the emerald ash borer, a beetle that kills ash trees, suffered from an additional 15,000 deaths from cardiovascular disease and 6,000 more deaths from lower respiratory disease when compared to uninfected [...] Flooded streets and power outages weren’t going to stop Marsha Hedgepath from making her shift atNew Jersey’s Community Medical Center on time.

Not only did Hedgepath [...] Rats escaping New York floods could infest homes Rats scurrying to escape rising floodwaters in New York could spread diseases as they infest new areas, according to a nature expert.

The rising [...] Emergency preparedness checklist for perfect storm Hurricane Sandy – Here’s what you need to get NOWMike Adams Called a “monster storm,” Hurricane Sandy is much more than a hurricane.

The sun was shining, the sand golden; gentle surf washed the shore against a backdrop of soft woods and green fields rising from the shore. I mention these holiday scenic details only to make the point that our world yesterday — and yours, too, I expect — looked pretty much the way it did [...] TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — An alert Washington state teenager likely prevented an accident when he woke up a sleeping bus driver who had nodded off at the wheel while entering an Interstate 5 onramp in Tacoma. A surveillance camera on the school bus recorded 17-year-old Emmanuel Williams jump from his seat and rush to the front of the bus after seeing the driver’s head go down.
