Biggest tornadoes in Colorado of the past decade

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:10 GMT

DENVER (Stacker) — Of the 1,600-plus tornadoes that happen around the world each year, the vast majority occur in the United States.A large part of the central U.S.—dubbed Tornado Alley—has become famous for its high number of annual tornadoes; however, even though it has been enshrined in films like "The Wizard of Oz" and "Twister," the storms can happen anywhere. The Southeast experiences tornadoes at a similar frequency, and even seemingly unlikely states like Hawaii have experienced them.Meteorologists use the Enhanced Fujita scale to classify tornadoes' severity. The storms are ranked on a scale of EF0 to EF5 based on wind speed and related damage, with EF5 storms having wind speeds above 200 mph. Most tornadoes in the U.S. have wind speeds below 110 mph—making them primarily EF0 and EF1 storms. Still, even smaller-scale storms can cause significant damage. EF0 and EF1 storms have contributed to more than $900 million in property damage since 2012, averaging $75,000 p...

Estonia re-ups entry ban on head of Russian church

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:10 GMT

Estonia’s Foreign Ministry banned 58 Russians from entering the country on Friday, including the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, one of the most ardent supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his invasion of Ukraine.“Patriarch Kirill is one of the greatest adherents and proponents of Putin’s ideology,” said Margus Tsahkna, the country’s foreign minister, in a press statement. “It was about time he was blacklisted. He has justified and abetted the war against Ukraine.”The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, according to the statement, on Friday renewed the recently expired Magnitsky list, which allows Estonia to ban foreigners they found guilty of human rights abuses. In 2022, the Ukrainians and the British imposed sanctions on Kirill, while a European Union effort in June 2022 was blocked by Hungary. But the European Parliament did adopt a resolution condemning Patriarch Kirill’s role in “providing theological cover for Russia’s war...

EU countries reject making non-consensual sex a criminal offense across the bloc

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:10 GMT

Brussels’ plan to class all non-consensual sex as rape across the EU was rejected by national governments.In March 2022, the European Commission presented a draft law aimed at protecting women from violence ranging from female genital mutilation to cyberstalking. It also sought to make all EU countries classify non-consensual sex as rape punishable with a maximum penalty of at least eight years in prison. But after over a year of divisive talks, EU governments on Friday rejected the rape proposal. More specifically, while they backed the law as a whole, they removed the provision about rape. Sweden, which holds the rotating presidency of the Council, had managed to clinch agreement among countries a week ago that moves the EU closer to ratifying the 2011 Istanbul Convention — an international treaty meant to reduce violence against women across Europe. Those negotiations exposed a cultural war between Eastern European countries such as Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria, and ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:42:10 GMT

LONDON — Jacob Rees-Mogg and a series of arch-Brexiteers are to be given knighthoods and damehoods as a part of Boris Johnson’s newly-released resignation honors list.Several aides closely connected to the COVID rule-breaching Partygate scandal were also nominated for gongs, after months of speculation.Resignation honors allow an outgoing British prime minister to draw up a list of people they believe should gain knighthoods, damehoods, seats in the U.K.’s unelected House of Lords, and other titles.Former ministers and close Johnson allies Rees-Mogg, Priti Patel, Simon Clarke, Conor Burns and Amanda Milling were among those to be nominated for knighthoods and damehoods by the ex-prime minister.They join backbench Tory Brexiteers Michael Fabricant and former Conservative Party chair Ben Elliot, the nephew of Queen Camilla, in the queue for knighthoods — meaning they will be able to style themselves “Sir.”Former senior No. 10 civil servant Martin Reynolds, a top...

By AAMER MADHANI (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran is providing Russia with materials to build a drone manufacturing plant east of Moscow as the Kremlin looks to lock in a steady supply of weaponry for its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, according to a U.S. intelligence finding released by the White House on Friday.National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said that U.S. intelligence officials believe a plant in Russia’s Alabuga special economic zone could be operational early next year. The White House also released satellite imagery taken in April of the industrial location, several hundred miles east of Moscow, where it believes the plant “will probably be built.”President Joe Biden’s administration publicly stated in December that it believed Tehran and Moscow were considering standing up a drone assembly line in Russia for the Ukraine war.
