storm still pose? mainly it s flooding, anderson but there s two types, there s flash flooding and river flooding. this looks a lot different than it did yesterday when it was a giant buzzsaw, comma shaped, dryer moving into the center north of jackson, it will leave the state of mississippi by morning. but the brighter colors on infrared tell us where the flash flooding problems are and again, it s been these bands throughout the day. we have a couple of warnings here for flooding. it was peppered earlier tailed, even tornadoes, numerous tornado warnings and small spinups. but for the most part we re watching the river flooding. everything in red is eight to ten inches of rain but you get into purple areas, this is 10 to 17. it takes a while for all this water to get into the tributaries, larger tributaries, rivers and then the mississippi. so that could pose a threat for even a rescue and, again, crews that are trying to get those boats and the barges that become unmoored. so again
donald trump and his influence opinion on party politics and we saw what kevin mccarthy did. how is trump wulg the strings from behind the scenes. what we learned is the night he said to kellyanne conway how could we lose? i m so bummed we lost. so but in the meantime his inner narrative has gotten harder and harder and less and less related to reality, less it s unmoored. and he in mar-a-lago, when we visited, a ton of people traipsed by to sort of kiss his ring and more were coming. congress members trying to get his endorsement, and as he said to us, you know, if they don t come and they don t get the endorsement they don t win. and he views himself very much as a successful king-maker and the standard bearer for the republican party. he likes kevin mccarthy. he detests mitch mcconnell.
that decision, justice toledo just writes a new test. unmoored from the text of the statute, unmoored from the intentions of congress and that is what i mean with by the audacity. the voting rights act is regarded as the most effective, important civil rights statute ever enacted. today with the supreme court did two it was just shameful. there s a passage in the majority opinion which is authored by samuel alito, he says, look, if there s impact here because there are disparate levels of wealth and mobility, where are you gonna do? you can come up with a new rule but if minority non minority rules have desperate life behaviors, you re gonna have disparate impact. my thoughts freezing this is why i said yes.
circumstances test. while purporting not to overturn that, justice alito writes his own test, own five-factor test. unmoored from the text of the statute. unmoored from the intentions of congress. that s what i mean by the audacity. the voting rights act is regarded as the most effective, most important civil rights statute ever enacted and today what the supreme court did to it is just shameful. there s a passage in the majority opinion which is authored by samuel alito who i think with roberts and others on the conservative majority have been licking their chops on this thing. where he says, if there s disparate impact here because there s disparate levels of wealth or access or mobility of minority/non-minority groups, what are you going to do? you could come up with a neutral rule. if minority/non-minority groups have disparate situations, you ll have disparate impacts.

Whangārei s Town Basin emptied very quickly during the March 5 tsunami alert.
More than 250 yachts are moored at Whangārei Marina s Town Basin and Kissing Point facilities.
Many are home to international yachties, Covid-19 refugees in New Zealand via ongoing short-term visa extensions.
The Northern Advocate asked what Town Basin boaties thought of Whangārei s tsunami evacuation, putting the same questions to them as they did to central city retailers. The questions were:
1. What was your preparation?
2. What was the evacuation plan?
3. How did you know about needing to evacuate?
