JOHNSTOWN, Colo. (KDVR) — Some neighbors in Johnstown woke up Wednesday morning to a complete whiteout on the street, sidewalks and yards — all thanks to a ton of hail that rolled in during a storm Tuesday night. “We woke up to piles and piles, some of it as deep as my waist and knees," said Kelly Secrest, who lives in Johnstown. She said the hail was only pea-sized so it caused minimal damage, but it fell for about an hour straight."People were trying to scoop it but it was so heavy. It's not like with snow," Secrest said. "I have never seen anything like this in my life." Hail up to 4 inches fell Wednesday in Colorado: See the list Secrest said it took tractors nearly four hours to clean up the road in the Country Acres neighborhood.“I don’t even know, I can't explain it, to be honest.

It was different."Over in Erie, the size o...

I would say some of those days were six, eight hours long, and we didn't even hear half of the phone calls.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:28:44 GMT

Brayan Bello is widely considered Boston’s most promising young pitcher, and the 23-year-old righty has been called a future Cy Young candidate by none other than Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez.On nights like Wednesday, you can see why.Bello was terrific, delivering one of his best outings as a big leaguer to help lead the Red Sox to a huge 5-2 win over the Atlanta Braves.He earned the win thanks in large part to Raimel Tapia’s go-ahead pinch hit RBI double in the top of the seventh and Triston Casas’ two-run homer in the ninth, and then relievers Josh Winckowski, Chris Martin and Kenley Jansen closed the door, with Jansen recording his 400th career save against his former team.“That was eye-opening.

What to know about Trump’s CNN town hall: Lies about election and abortion, attacks on accuser

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:28:44 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s primetime return to CNN Wednesday for the first time since 2016 felt like a throwback: Trump with the long, twisting answers; the interviewer at times struggling to fact-check him or return his focus to the question at hand; and then, eventually, both talking over each other as Trump flings insults her way. Wednesday’s town hall in New Hampshire was the first time in years that Trump faced prolonged questioning from an outlet outside the friendly confines of conservative media outlets of his choosing.He had branded CNN “fake news” and never granted any of its journalists an interview while president. Trump’s campaign said he was appearing on the network now to step outside a GOP comfort zone as he already starts to turn his focus to a potential 2024 general election rematch with Democrat Joe Biden.Trump’s appearance on CNN comes at a time of jarring dualities for the former president: The Republican is facing a crescendo of legal problems yet seems in ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:28:44 GMT

NIIGATA, Japan (AP) — The financial leaders of the Group of Seven wealthy nations will meet in Japan beginning Thursday as a standoff over the U.S. debt ceiling looms as one of the biggest potential threats to the global economy. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said one of her priorities in Niigata, a port city on the Japan Sea coast, would be to emphasize the importance of resolving the standoff over the national debt. “I will underscore the importance of Congress acting to resolve the debt limit to maintain America’s economic leadership and protect the global economy,” Yellen said in a tweet Thursday. Yellen also is bound to be seeking to reassure her counterparts over recent bank failures that have raised worries over risks for the global financial system. The finance ministers and central bank governors are meeting for three days ahead of a G-7 summit later this month in Hiroshima. President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he and congressional leaders had a “productive” meeting Tu...
