It’s very evident,” Swensrud says. “It’s fun. She starts that way, because you don’t really know how the paintings going to evolve.”Erica Eriksdotter is the artist behind the painting.

Forecasters may not be expecting a severe hurricane season this year, but a few major storms could still threaten the Atlantic coast.The Atlantic hurricane season officially kicks off Saturday -- even after Subtropical Storm Andrea briefly spun up near Bermuda last week -- and will run through November 30.The nation's top hurricane forecasters have predicted a near-normal season with "a lot" of storms. Nine to 15 named storms, including four to eight hurricanes, could form in the Atlantic.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, said the season won't likely be as violent as last year's above-average season when hurricanes Florence and Michael slammed the United States, killing nearly 100 people and causing billions of dollars in damage.But they are warning that two to four hurricanes could still grow to Category 3 or stronger. Those storms carry winds of 111 to 129 mph."That's still a lot of activity," said Gerry Bell, NOAA's lead hurricane forecaster. "We are expecting a near-normal season but regardless, that's a lot of activity and you still need to prepare for the hurricane season now."Would a hurricane hit the US?While the forecast does not specifically predict where those storms might strike, weather officials are urging all US coastal residents to prepare for a tropical storm or hurricane, because the past two years have been devastating.In 2017, Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria put a dramatic end to a 12-year period with no major hurricane landfalls in the United States and ranked among the costliest hurricanes in history.Millions of people in Texas, Louisiana, southwest Florida, North Carolina and Puerto Rico are still reeling from the trio of hurricanes.A fourth storm, Hurricane Nate, also made US landfall, but never reached major hurricane level.Last year, Florence arrived during the season's peak to pummel the Carolinas. Then, Hurricane Michael slammed the Florida Panhandle with frightening fury and later socked Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia.El Ni?o could lead to fewer stormsEl Ni?o, the periodic weather event characterized by warming ocean temperatures, tends to weaken hurricanes but that could change if the weather is warmer.Neil Jacobs, the acting NOAA administrator, said warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, as well as enhanced storm activity moving off West Africa, would favor increased activity.El Ni?o could also weaken quicker than anticipated, creating conditions that would be more favorable for storm development by peak season in September.The opposite is also true: If El Ni?o strengthens more than anticipated, it could keep tropical storm activity on the lower end of NOAA's range.Weather officials say El Ni?o has a 55% to 60% chance of continuing through the fall.Hurricane ready? Supplies are tax-free in FloridaFloridians are getting a little help from authorities to build their own hurricane emergency kit.Residents can buy emergency supplies free of sales taxes from May 31 until June 6. The discount includes ice packs, batteries, flashlights, coolers and items worth up to 0, such as portable generators."While living in and visiting Florida offers many benefits and advantages, it is important to keep the potential for severe weather hazards and threats in mind," said Jim Zingale, executive director of the Florida Department of Revenue.The holiday tax was passed by Florida lawmakers and signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis in May.A storm formed early -- againFor the past five years, a winter hurricane and a series of tropical storms have formed before the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season. Subtropical Storm Andrea continued that trend in May.The short-lived storm made this the fifth consecutive year that a named storm has formed before the season's official start.Hurricane Alex, an unusual winter hurricane, formed in January 2016 in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean.Meantime, April saw the advent of Tropical Storm Arlene in 2017, while May ushered in Tropical Storm Ana in 2015 and Tropical Storm Alberto in 2018.The recent rise in off-season storms has raised questions about the impact of climate change and whether the time frame should begin sooner.But weather officials have said they would need more evidence of a considerable change before making a final decision.In the past 12 years, there have been at least six named storms right before hurricane season officially started -- during the second half of May -- but in the 31 years before that, there was "a lack of any such activity" in the same time frame, said Dennis Feltgen, a meteorologist and spokesman with the National Hurricane Center. 4708

Former NBA player Mike Bibby is facing sexual abuse allegations from a teacher at the Arizona school where Bibby coaches the boy's basketball team.Phoenix police said Monday that they were recently made aware of allegations involving staff at Shadow Mountain High School."As of now, the investigation is ongoing and no suspect has been named, nor any charges recommended," Phoenix police said. The alleged victim filed a restraining order against Bibby on February 22, 2019, in reference to an incident that happened on February 22, 2017.In the paperwork, the teacher says she was outside with several coworkers when Bibby pointed at her from his car and asked her to come talk. When she approached the car, Bibby allegedly got out and picked her up, forcing her into the vehicle on her back. The woman says Bibby smelled of alcohol as he touched her inappropriately and said sexually explicit things to her.The alleged victim says she managed to get out of the car, but Bibby followed her toward the school, and once again grabbed her and touched her inappropriately. The woman reported that she told Bibby to stop several times before she was able to get away and go into a private room.The victim says days after the incident, Bibby asked her to tell the athletic director of the school that everything was ok between the two of them. She says she did tell the AD that in 2017, before filing the restraining order this week.Bibby has been ruled ineligible as a volunteer coach while police and the district investigate, according to a district spokesperson.Paradise Valley Unified School District released a statement, saying: At PVSchools, our first priority is always the safety and well-being of our staff and students. We take all allegations of misconduct very seriously and work in cooperation with law enforcement on all police matters. In addition, PVSchools adheres to its own internal policies and protocols as established by the Governing Board. On February 14, 2019, PVSchools was notified that the Phoenix Police Department opened an investigation into alleged sexual abuse/harassment of a Shadow Mountain High School staff member by the boys head basketball coach, Mike Bibby. At the request of the Phoenix Police Department, the District’s internal investigation was suspended pending the conclusion of the Police Department’s active investigation into the accusations. PVSchools conducts thorough background investigations for all employees and volunteers, including a notarized criminal affidavit, background check, and fingerprint clearance. PVSchools will continue to fully cooperate with the Phoenix Police Department on the investigation and will provide the police with any support requested. As this is an ongoing police investigation, any additional questions about the case should be referred to the Phoenix Police Department.Bibby starred at Shadow Mountain High School playing basketball, before playing for the University of Arizona.He was then drafted second in the 1998 NBA draft and played for six different teams before retiring. 3078

HONG KONG (AP) — Pet cats and dogs cannot pass the new coronavirus on to humans, but they can test positive for low levels of the pathogen if they catch it from their owners. That's the conclusion of Hong Kong's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department after a dog in quarantine tested weakly positive for the virus Feb. 27, Feb. 28 and March 2, using the canine's nasal and oral cavity samples. A unidentified spokesman for the department was quoted in a news release as saying. "There is currently no evidence that pet animals can be a source of infection of COVID-19 or that they become sick." Scientists suspect the virus known as SARS-CoV-2 that causes the disease originated in bats before passing it on to another species, possibly a small wild mammal, that passed it on to humans. However, experts from the School of Public Health of The University of Hong Kong, the College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences of the City University of Hong Kong and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) have unanimously agreed that the dog has a low-level of infection and it is "likely to be a case of human-to-animal transmission." The dog, and another also in quarantine which has tested negative for the virus, will be tested again before being released. The department suggested any pets, including dogs and cats, from households where someone has tested positive for the virus should be put into quarantine. In general, pet owners should maintain good hygiene, including washing hands before and after handling animals, their food and supplies and no kissing them. People who are sick should avoid contact with pets and a veterinarian's advice should be sought if changes in a pet's health conditions are detected. "Apart from maintaining good hygiene practices, pet owners need not be overly concerned and under no circumstances should they abandon their pets," the spokesman said. 1919
