Severe weather plagued several states throughout the Midwest over the weekend, killing one person and damaging at least one building.Vickie Darnel, 64, died from drowning Sunday after she drove into a flooded creek crossing in Le Flore County, Oklahoma, according to Lt. Kera Philippi, spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.Philippi says that Darnel's vehicle was swept off the roadway around 4:30 a.m. Sunday near the border of Arkansas.The area saw a number of flash flood and severe thunderstorm warnings from the National Weather Service over the weekend.The National Weather Service is sending an assessment team to South Bend, Indiana, after a tornado touched down in the area and destroyed at least one building.The building was the site of Growing Kids daycare facility, according to Aaron Miller, dispatch supervisor for St. Joseph County Public Safety Communication Center.Miller told CNN that the building suffered extensive damage and there were several reports of trees down throughout St. Joseph County.Missouri State Highway Patrol along with the Missouri Department of Conservation and several local agencies performed multiple water rescues Sunday for people whose vehicles were in the water.They also rescued people who were stranded by high water due to heavy rainfall, according to the Missouri Department of Public Safety.A subdivision in Neosho, Missouri, and parts of Roaring River State Park had to be evacuated, although it was unclear how many people had to leave, the Missouri Department of Public Safety said.The band of weather that caused all of this chaos is called a frontal boundary and it acts as a cold front but doesn't actually have any cold air behind it.The mixture of the boundary layer is slightly cooler dry air and hot humid air which can cause intense storms. 1821

Rick Brown walks through Kenai Fjords National Park to a place where climate change's impact is hard to miss. “The changes to us have been bang, bang, bang," Brown says. "Every year it’s a different year."As the years have gone on, the walk to Exit Glacier has become longer because it's melting away. Exit Glacier is one of the smaller glaciers in the park. It's popular with tourists because it's easy to get to. It's a short walk from where they park. Signs mark the path people take to get to the glacier; the dates on the signs range from the early 1900s to 2010. The signs mark where the glacier once was and where it's melted to. "If this doesn’t convince you that things are changing, then there is no use in trying to even convince you," Brown says.Brown owns Adventure 60 North. He takes people on tours and hikes around the glacier. It's a job in glacier tourism that often has him facing questions about climate change. "I tell them what I see, I don’t know the reason why it’s happening," he says. His answer isn't about politics but what's become the reality here."I don’t know if it's humans or nature or naturally caused. I think it’s both, and that's my opinion and I kind of leave it at that," Brown says."I've lived in Alaska for almost 50 years. Anyone who has lived here a long time has seen the weather change," says Doug Capra.Capra is a former park ranger and local historian in tiny Seward, Alaska. “We’ve seen winters come later, springs come earlier,” Capra says. For years, he's documented Alaska's changing climate and Exit Glacier's retreat.“My concern is the denial. I write history and I have great admiration for human ingenuity," Capra says. "Human beings have survived a lot of things. It’s the questions of how we’re going to do it. It’s a question of will."Rick knows some people can't be convinced of the impact climate change is having.“Some people come here with a view that they’ve adopted and they’re not going to change no matter what you tell them," Brown says. "So I don’t try. I’m the old guy out here, I know what I'm seeing."He says winters don't see the snow they did when he first became a guide in Alaska in the '90s. He no longer does snowshoeing and ice hiking tours in the winter because of the lack of snow.“It’s changed our business," he says. "I don’t know if it’s hurt it. I would say we’ve adapted. And as far as I know, the key to surviving here is adapting."Time may be running out for Exit Glacier. “I would say, probably, I don’t know ... there have been guesses of ten, five years?” he says.According to the United States Geological Survey, 68.7% earth's freshwater is kept in ice caps and glaciers, meaning their retreat isn't just an Alaskan concern or one Brown feels should be left for the future. "It's real folks," Brown says. "Change is happening. Regardless of what’s causing it. We need to get prepared to adapt to deal with the change." 2922

Semi-trucks are difficult to get through a drive-thru, and with many restaurant chains closing their dining rooms and turning to a drive-thru, to-go orders, or curbside service because of the COVID-19 pandemic, truck drivers could face some problems while out on the road.Well, McDonald's has come up with a 320

SUMMIT COUNTY, Ohio — A former student who had a child with his teacher in 2015 filed suit Monday against Akron and Tallmadge school officials for failing to stop the abuse.The suit also listed former teacher Laura Lynn Cross as a defendant.The suit states that administrators failed to “prevent adult Laura Lynn Cross from sexually abusing, assaulting, and raping the Plaintiff, a student and a minor.”Cross served prison time at the Ohio State Reformatory for Women in Marysville after having been convicted of three counts of sexual battery. She has since been released from prison.Cross resigned from her teaching position in 2015 following allegations of sexual abuse of a student. According to an investigation by Scripps station WEWS in Cleveland, Cross convinced the student’s mother to allow him to move in with her through a court-approved “partial parental custody” arrangement.RELATED: 910

Scientists have long warned of the effects of global warming and the possibility of more intense wildfires that burn for longer periods of time. Now, a new team of researchers is hoping to get a better understanding of how the smoke travels and what the tiniest particles could be doing to our lungs. "There's many things we’re still struggling to understand about smoke,” explains Joshua Schwarz, a physicist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The group of researchers includes meteorologists and weather modelers, in addition to scientists. “All together, we are deciding which fires to target," Schwarz says. Amber Soja, with NASA, describes herself as the “fire person” of the group. Every day for the next couple of weeks, this group will create a flight plan, opening the door for another group of scientists inside this flying laboratory. “We've got tremendous range, and we're carrying a tremendous payload of information,” Soja says.This lab was once an Italian passenger airliner. It flies straight into the smoke of fires. "We'll have to look at what's the altitude of the smoke we want to be in, which direction is the smoke going, how far can we track that smoke," Schwarz says.Intake tubes on the outside of the lab bring in smoke particles that will be studied. Researchers are interested in learning how the smoke travels and what it does to our bodies when it’s inhaled. Pete Lahm, with the U.S. Forest Service, says studying the smoke is important because it impacts both public health and safety. “This info will help us make in the long run [make] better decisions on when we ignite fire and how we consider smoke impacts, and that's absolutely critical to our mission,” Lahm says.
