A tropical storm has weakened after dumping heavy rains overnight in parts of southern India off the Bay of Bengal as more than 50,000 people evacuated to government-run camps.

No loss of life or major damage has been reported so far from the rain-hit areas of Andhra Pradesh state.

Authorities shut schools, canceled trains and anchored fishermen’s boats in the affected areas until Sunday. Scientists say that cyclones and powerful storms in the Indian Ocean are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change.“The Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea are now warmer compared to earlier decades because of climate change,” said K.J. Ramesh, one of India’s top meteorologists and the former chief of the weather agency.

In May, two storms hit India within 10 days, with Cyclone Tauktae killing at least 140 people across western states. Nearly 70 of the victims were on a barge that ripped free of its anchors and sank off Mumbai’s coast.

The AP Interview: Scientist says omicron was a group find | AP NewsJOHANNESBURG (AP) — The Botswana scientist who may well have discovered the omicron variant of the coronavirus says he has been on a “rollercoaster of emotions,” with the pride of accomplishment followed by dismay over the travel bans immediately slapped on southern African countries. But Dr. Sikhulile Moyo was also dismayed over travel bans slapped on southern African nations due to the new virus variant. “Is that how you reward science? By blacklisting countries?” And we rewarded them with travel bans, which seemingly did nothing but punish their sharing of the discovery.

Virginia House seat election recount upholds GOP win | AP NewsVIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — A three-judge panel overseeing a recount in a close Virginia Beach state House race upheld the Republican candidate’s victory on Friday, a decision that also reaffirms the GOP’s takeover of the chamber. 'Well, since I WILL NOT risk getting pregnant, we WILL NOT be having sex.' VA wasn't even one of the states which had instituted draconian Republican voter suppression. Voters in Virginia saw the dysfunction of the Trump administration attempting to tear down Democracy, the purposeful sandbagging of the US COVID response, and said we'd like that please This is what happens when liberals don’t vote in big numbers!! We lose everything.
