Ask John: How does a tsunami form?
SUMMARY: WTV meteorologist John Tusk explains how tsunamis form in a recent “Ask John” segment. He shares that tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes along fault lines, where tectonic plates shift. This movement creates a rift that upwells water, which then travels towards the shore, increasing in height and posing significant danger to coastal populations. Tusk cites past incidents, including the devastating 2004 tsunami and recent events in Japan, emphasizing that tsunamis stem from underwater earthquakes rather than weather phenomena. He encourages viewers to send in questions for further discussion on earth science topics.
Meteorologist John Dolusic answered a question about tsunamis and how they form.

Mississippi AG joins coalition against assault rifle ban
SUMMARY: Mississippi’s attorney general is joining 28 other state attorneys general in an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding Maryland’s ban on various assault rifles, including the AR-15. These firearms have been involved in numerous deadly attacks. A gun owner supports the attorney general’s stance, arguing that banning guns from law-abiding citizens is unconstitutional and undermines the Second Amendment, which protects the right to bear arms. He emphasized that the term AR refers to ArmaLite, the company that produced the rifle in 1954. The attorney general believes the Fourth Circuit Court’s decision undermines individual rights.
