SUMMARY: An intense March storm is set to affect over 100 million people in the U.S., bringing a mix of fires, blizzards, tornadoes, and flooding as it moves eastward across the Great Plains. Meteorologist Benjamin Reppert notes that while the storm’s strength is notable, such weather is typical for spring due to extreme temperature contrasts. The National Weather Service predicts strong winds with gusts up to 80 mph, heightening fire risks in the Southern Plains, while blizzards may hit the northern regions. The storm could intensify into a bomb cyclone, resulting in stronger winds and heavy rainfall, especially along the East Coast.

SUMMARY: A documentary about creosote contamination from a Union Pacific Railroad yard in Fifth Ward premiered, highlighting the cancer cluster believed to be caused by the contamination. The film aims to raise awareness and encourage community members to sign up for free cancer screenings. Houston council member Dr. Leticia Plummer is leading the initiative, which includes door-to-door outreach. The screenings will monitor cancer progression and potentially improve survival rates. The program starts with 200 participants but will expand. Residents are urged to join the effort to address the long-standing health impacts in the Fifth Ward.

The documentary Fifth Ward Exposed: Community, Contamination, and Cancer premiered at the Deluxe Theater Thursday night.

SUMMARY: More than 50 dogs, including Rottweilers, were rescued from a home in Watauga, Texas, where they were found living in filthy conditions. Some were malnourished and kept in overcrowded, unsanitary kennels. The home was connected to an animal rescue, but the situation was deemed one of the worst animal cruelty cases seen by authorities. A criminal investigation is underway, with charges expected soon. Police discovered the animals after an adult was severely bitten by a dog. The animals have been removed, and Fort Worth Animal Care and Control is working with rescue groups to find them homes.

Nearly 50 Rottweilers and other animals were rescued from an alleged animal cruelty situation involving a rescue organization in Watauga earlier this month.
