Happening right happening right now, a powerful storm slamming Washington State resulting in at least one death and leaving more than 175,000 customers in the dark. Wind gusting up to 70 Miles Per Hour along the coast, churned the surf up quite a bit and downed power lines and toppled trees, including one tree that fell onto a car that killed that one woman and left another critically injured. Its the first in a series of strong storms moving through the Pacific Northwest that will be bringing heavy rains, strong winds and mountain snow. Theres a new development in the flap over fox news host sean hannity and keurig. Yeah, on saturday, the coffee brand announced it would pull its ads from hannitys show over his coverage of the Sexual Misconduct allegations of roy moore. Well, that sparked this.

Blumenthal. We evidently have a vote scheduled at 10 45. I plan to recess the hearing briefly to allow us catch the end of one vote, the beginning of the next and reconvene. That will take 15 minutes total. Just so you all know. On june 18, carmen cruz was watching television with her eightyearold son, travis, when her exboyfriend, frederick escobar, broke into her and calmly walked towards her, carrying a pillow. When he was just a few feet away from mrs. Cruz, mr. Escobar pulled a gun from the pillow and pointed it at her and pulled the trigger. Travis watched as his mother collapsed, felled by a bullet shot by his own father. Surgeryz spent hours in while doctors removed the bullet from her abdomen. She was hospitalized for three weeks and were a colostomy bag for almost two years following the shooting. Is a passionate advocate in Rhode Islands to mystic violets community.
