Warmer air holds more moisture, which leads to heavier downpours—a phenomenon climate scientists say is driving more intense storms globally. When these storms strike areas with outdated infrastructure or limited warning systems, the consequences can be catastrophic, according to experts cited by The New York Times. In Central Texas, floodwaters surged rapidly on July 5, with the Guadalupe River rising from three feet to

A tiny California city prone to tsunamis saw the highest waves in continental US after quake

    CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (WBZ) -- Scientists are watching a newly discovered object in space, and most of them agree it's a comet, but not all of them. A Harvard scientist, who believes he's seen proof of alien life before, suspects this object may instead have alien origins.
