The past year has been a wild ride of weather. There has been major tragedy, and it has been costly.Take a look back at what the U.S. has endured just in 2018:Hurricane Michael Hurricane Michael was the second major hurricane of the 2018 season, and it was a history-making storm. Michael made landfall at Mexico Beach, Florida on Oct. 10 at a Category 4 hurricane. Winds were sustained at 155 miles per hour. It was the strongest storm to make landfall in the U.S. since Andrew in 1992. Hurricane Michael was also the third-most intense Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. on record. This was behind the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and Hurricane Camille (1969). The storm devastated Mexico Beach and nearby Panama City Beac,h leaving both nearly unrecognizable. Roads were hard to decipher as sand was carried on shore with the storm surge and pieces of buildings were strewn all over the place in the destructive wind. Homes were flattened and some swept away. Thirty-five people were killed in Florida, but 60 deaths were eventually attributed to Michael when looking at previous damage in Central America and from the storms path as it continued inland in the U.S.. The exact final cost of Hurricane Michael is still being determined, but it will likely be one of 12 billion-dollar weather-related disasters in the United States this year.Hurricane Florence Hurricane Florence was another powerful, Category 4 hurricane in the 2018 season, but this one was unique in where it made landfall and how slowly it moved onto the coastline. This slow movement amplified the impact of flooding. Florence formed as a Cape Verde low and traveled across the Atlantic in the month of September, setting its sights on North Carolina. As it approached the coast, the storm, still at Category 4 status, slowed to a crawl and started inundating the Carolina’s with heavy rain. The storm only moved west at 2 to 3 mph and eventually made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane as it weakened. But the Category 1 status of this hurricane landfall doesn’t match with the true impact of this store. This is because of the sheer volume of water dumped by this storm. Portions of coastal North Carolina recorded more than 20 inches of rain over a 5-day period — some more than 30 inches total. That led to historic crests along rivers and cut off many towns from relief efforts because roads were impassable. The rain from Florence took weeks to make it through all the streams and rivers, so flooding not only occurred during the storm but lingered for a long time, making recovery efforts that much more difficult. Florence was another weather event of 2018 that will be a billion-dollar or more disaster. It actually ranks as one of the Top-10 costliest storms in U.S. history.California wildfiresIt was a devastating year for wildfires in California. According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, nearly 8,000 fires were recorded this year burning more than 1.8 million acres of land. Increasing temperatures across the state and prolonged drought created favorable conditions. According to NOAA, July was the hottest month of record in California temperature history. The wildfire season really picked up momentum in late-July and August as the Carr Fire made national headlines, destroying 1,600 structures and resulting in more than a billion dollars worth of damages. That fire in northern California wasn’t contained until late August. According to the State of California, three firefighters died while responding to the blaze. Then attention shifted to fires like the Woolsey Fire and the Camp Fire. The Camp Fire is now listed as one of the deadliest in U.S. history after fast moving flames consumed Butte County, California in early November. 86 deaths are connected to the fire and the city of Paradise was practically destroyed by the flames. The rapid speed of the fire, fanned by 50 mph, prevented so many people from evacuating to safety. The Woolsey Fire was another one that garnered national attention as it burned through Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Hundreds of homes in Malibu were destroyed and more than 200,000 people were evacuated. It is estimated at more 1,500 structures were destroyed by this southern California fire. According to the State of California, three people did in this fire as well.Red tideThis naturally, annually occurring phenomenon gained national attention when it hit epidemic status and the weather was a large factor to its growth in the summer of 2018. Red tide is a toxic algal bloom that kills sea life like fish, dolphins and manatees along the Florida coast. It technically happens yearly, but this year, a few weather factors have been blamed for it’s large growth and duration. Record-breaking rain fell over central Florida early in the summer season, bringing a rise to water levels in Lake Okeechobee. That is where algae also grew. Fertilizers from nearby farms also infiltrated the water body. That water had to be released to the ocean so widespread flooding wouldn’t occur in central Florida. But as that water, algae and fertilizer, entered the ocean, it interacted with the red tide and caused it to grow exponentially. Basically, the algae fed the red tide and made it worse. That combined with warmer ocean temperatures sustained the toxic bloom for months on end. Red tide first closed beaches along the southwest side of Florida’s coastline just south of Tampa, but as red tide slowly moved and grew, it eventually closed beaches farther to the north beyond Tampa and into the panhandle. According to Meteorologist Jason Adams of WFTS in Tampa, Florida, red tide is still present in the month of December along a few beaches but it is projected to subside in the winter months.Rainfall records set in 2018Rainfall amounts made headlines over and over again during 2018, especially in the eastern U.S. Some of those rainfall records were associated with our two major hurricanes. But others were associated with very heavy rain producing events. According to Climate Central, 133 climate sites saw record precipitation totals this year, and 685 saw yearly totals that were among the Top 10 on record. 2018 is already the fifth-wettest year on record in the contiguous U.S. Specifically on the Island of Kauai in Hawaii, a rain gauge in Waipa recorded 49.69 inches of rain from April 14 to April 15. The highest rainfall record in a 24-hour period belonged to Alvin, Texas, where 43 inches of rain was recorded on July 25 to July 26, 1979.Tornado outbreak, April 13-15April is a common time of year for severe weather, especially in Tornado Alley, but 51 tornado reports in one day is significant. On average, 155 tornadoes normally happen over the MONTH of April.An explosive atmosphere setup was in place over Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana on April 13. Late in the evening, a cold front produced discrete thunderstorms and those storms quickly turned severe. EF0, EF1 and EF2 tornadoes ripped across the region as multiple waves of severe weather swept through into the early morning hours of April 14th. Additional rounds of severe weather followed on the 14th and 15th as the storm system moved east. Over the three-day period, 81 tornadoes were reported from Texas to Virginia according to NOAA. "Several of the tornadoes caused widespread damage, including an EF-2 that resulted in 12 injuries near Lynchburg, Virginia and an EF-1 that caused seven injuries near Reidsville, North Carolina," says NOAA. Ohio River flooding The Ohio Valley was inundated with heavy rain in the month of February. In Cincinnati, Ohio alone, 7.8 inches of rain fell in the month, most of which was concentrated in the last few days of the month. This was nearly 5 inches above normal. Previous wet soils and regional heavy rain meant that the water had to go somewhere, and that destination was the Ohio River. River levels rose to the highest levels since 1997. Cincinnati's Ohio River gauge crested at 60.53 feet, 52 feet is flood stage. But it wasn't just this city that saw substantial flooding along the river. Downriver in Louisville, Kentucky, the Ohio River crested 13 feet above flood stage — also the highest since 1997. Due to the slow nature to river flooding, it took several days for water levels to rise and fall, damaging homes and other structures along this drainage basin.Colorado hailstorm: June 18-19Hail isn't uncommon in Colorado, especially in June, but the hail that came down in June was significant. Three-inch diameter hail came down during a line of severe storms passed through on June 18, producing significant damage in the northern sections of the Denver metro. Cars were left with shattered windows and huge dents, homes were damaged and even golf courses suffered damage from the hail stones that fell at 40 to 80 mph from the sky. According to KMGH television station in Denver, the storm damaged cars and homes in the Boulder area, before moving northeast toward Fort Morgan, where 70 mph winds and baseball-sized hail wreaked havoc in Morgan County. To add insult to injury, the same area saw more severe weather the very next day including more hail and even a funnel cloud. Major southeast snowstorm A crippling snowstorm hit the southeast Dec. 8-10. While heavy snow in this portion of the county isn't out of the question, the amount of snow so early in December brought the region to a halt. This system actually started dumping heavy snowfall in northern Texas first. Lubbock recorded 10 inches of snow on Dec. 8. As the system approached the Appalachian Mountains and the effects of cold air damming, snowfall starting falling at much higher rates over Virginia and North Carolina. Snowfall amounts we staggering in some places, especially at the higher elevations. Mount Mitchell in North Carolina, which is the highest elevation in the eastern US, received 34 inches of fresh snowfall. It was 2 inches shy of the all time record. Cities such as Roanoke, Virginia received just more than 15 inches of snowfall, the third highest in recorded history during December. Raleigh, North Carolina picked up 11 inches of snowfall. But it wasn't just snow — others picked up significant ice with this system including portions of Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri. The impact of this storm lingered even beyond the initial snowfall as snow melted and refroze overnight as black ice, causing extended travel woes.—This story was written by WCPO meteorologist Jennifer Ketchmark for The E.W.

The US Food and Drug Administration on Monday warned leading e-cigarette maker Juul Labs about illegally marketing its product as a safer alternative to cigarettes.The FDA ordered Juul to respond within 15 days with corrective actions and its plan to comply with federal law. It noted that failure to comply could result in fines, seizures or injunction."Regardless of where products like e-cigarettes fall on the continuum of tobacco product risk, the law is clear that, before marketing tobacco products for reduced risk, companies must demonstrate with scientific evidence that their specific product does in fact pose less risk or is less harmful. JUUL has ignored the law, and very concerningly, has made some of these statements in school to our nation's youth," Acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Ned Sharpless said in a statement.The FDA sent a separate letter to Juul "expressing concern, and requesting more information, about several issues raised in a recent Congressional hearing regarding JUUL's outreach and marking practices, including those targeted at students, tribes, health insurers and employers."The agency requested documents related to marketing, including scientific evidence and data such as consumer perception studies "related to whether these statements and representations explicitly or implicitly convey that JUUL products pose less risk, are less harmful, present reduced exposure, are safer than other tobacco products or that the products are smoking cessation products.In November, the FDA revealed that vaping had increased nearly 80% among high schoolers and 50% among middle schoolers since a year earlier. Public health experts have said that Juul has largely propelled the rise, commanding about 75% of the e-cigarette market in the United States."We believe you have a continuing responsibility to take action to address the epidemic of youth use of your products, some of which appears to have been a direct result of your product design and marketing campaigns, whether or not some of these practices have been discontinued," the FDA's letter to Juul said.Juul has maintained that its products are intended to convert adult smokers to what it described in the past as a less-harmful alternative. In other communications, the company says it cannot make claims its products are safer, in line with FDA regulations."We are reviewing the letters and will fully cooperate," according to a Juul Labs spokesperson.Calls for action against JuulLast week, Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, chairman of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy, asked the FDA in a letter to take "appropriate enforcement action" against Juul. He said the agency should "protect the American public from the fraudulent and unapproved medical claims" made by the company.Krishnamoorthi's letter followed a two-day hearing in July, after which the committee concluded that "JUUL appears to be violating FDA regulations against making unapproved express and implied claims that its product helps users stop smoking cigarettes and is safer than cigarettes."At the subcommittee hearing in July, several people testified that the company was directly marketing to children in high school, to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and to smoking cessation groups.On Friday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the agency is now aware of at least 450 possible cases of severe lung disease that could be caused by vaping across 33 states. There have been at least five deaths across five states -- one each in Illinois, Oregon, Minnesota, Indiana and California -- linked to the illnesses.After news of additional deaths spread on Friday, US Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin called on FDA's Sharpless to act on regulating e-cigarettes and flavors in the next 10 days. Durbin said he would call for Sharpless' resignation if he did not take action."As Acting Commissioner of the FDA, you alone have the power to stop this vaping epidemic, which has now reached the point where children and young adults are getting sick and dying," Durbin said in a statement. "If you continue to refuse to do your job -- which is to protect the public health -- then it is time to allow someone else to take the helm." 4254

The Trump administration on Wednesday announced plans that could hold undocumented families detained together indefinitely, replacing the agreement that set a 20-day limit for holding children.The rule unveiled by acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan is part of the administration's aggressive effort to revamp immigration laws as the number of families and unaccompanied minors crossing the US-Mexico border has increased.In recent months, the administration has proposed rules that could make it more difficult for immigrants to get green cards, worked to end temporary protected status for migrants from certain countries and limit avenues to declare asylum.Under what is known as the Flores settlement, the government is required to release a minor from a non-licensed facility as expeditiously as possible, which has been set at 20 days.McAleenan said the rule is meant to reduce the number of families trying to enter the US."By closing this key loophole in Flores, the new rule will restore integrity to our immigration system and eliminate the major pull factor fueling the crisis," he said at a news conference Wednesday.The proposal would give the government new licensing authority, allowing the use of either a state license or Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention standards, according to a DHS official, meaning families can be kept longer than 20 days.The regulation is certain to face legal challenges and must also be examined by the judge who oversees the Flores settlement. It will take effect 60 days after it is formally published later this week."This is yet another cruel attack on children, who the Trump administration has targeted again and again with its anti-immigrant policies," said Madhuri Grewal, policy counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. "The government should not be jailing kids, and certainly shouldn't be seeking to put more kids in jail for longer."There has been a major influx of families and children apprehended at the southern border in recent months. Already this year, more than 430,000 family members have been arrested for crossing the southern border illegally, compared to around 100,000 for all of last year. 2205

They have taken place across the country. From Georgia to California. At elementary, middle and high schools. On college and university campuses.In 46 weeks this year, there have been 45 school shootings. That's nearly an average of one school shooting a week.Of those, 32 of them were at facilities serving Kindergarten through 12th grade.Since there is no single definition for what qualifies as a school shooting, CNN set the following parameters:The shooting must involve at least one person being shot (not including the shooter).The shooting must occur on school property, which includes but is not limited to buildings, athletic fields, parking lots, stadiums and buses.We included accidental discharge of a firearm as long as the first two parameters are met, except in instances where the sole shooter is law enforcement or a security officer.We included injuries sustained from BB guns, since the Consumer Product Safety Commission has identified them as potentially lethal.November 15Pleasantville, New JerseyGunfire erupted 1047
