ST. MARKS, Fla. – Helene weakened to a post-tropical cyclone as it swept through the Southeast on Friday but the storm still wielded enough power to inflict historic flooding across multiple states, causing 39 deaths and millions of power outages.

Helene made landfall at about 11:10 p.m. ET Thursday near Perry, Florida, with 140-mph winds, making it the first known Category 4 storm to hit Florida’s Big Bend region since records began in 1851. Overturned boats, flattened homes and a vista of floodwater several-feet-deep were revealed at dawn across the storm-weary region.

In Steinhatchee, a coastal town just miles from where Helene made landfall, John Kujawski drove a golf cart with his wife, Jamie Lee, over debris and around downed trees, horrified at the damage. The town of some 500 people took on 9.63 feet of storm surge, a record.

Most people have never heard of the Boone County Local Emergency Planning Committee, but that’s who calls the shots when a large-scale disaster occurs.

Members of the committee include police and fire chiefs, health care providers, Boone County Health Department officials and all other first responders and community representatives.

The group met at the Lebanon fire station this week for a tabletop exercise where they worked through the logistics of a simulated chlorine leak in Lebanon.

The state requires an annual tabletop exercise, but the local team opted for the mock threat type, committee Chairman Mike Martin said. Martin is also the director of emergency management for Boone County. He and Deputy Director Russell Dulin led the exercise.

Martin drew on real experiences in Boone County to determine the threat. Three train cars carrying anhydrous ammonia derailed in Lebanon without causing a leak. And in Lebanon there were two chlorine leaks, one at Lebanon High School and one at the Witham YMCA, Martin said.

Therefore, it made sense to expand on the knowledge gained during these experiences.

Thursday’s scenario involved agricultural equipment using an auger in the area of ​​County Road 250 South and John Shaw Road to knock the top off a stopped rail car containing chlorine gas.

Sheriff’s deputies would initially observe the cloud from a distance using binoculars, Sheriff Tony Harris said. They would attempt to determine the substance spilled using a sign placed in the train cars to identify the chemicals contained within.

Firefighters would confirm the information and call the Boone County Dispatch Center to request the establishment of a joint command post. Harris would send his department’s command bus, where leaders of multiple agencies can work together to orchestrate a joint response to a complex emergency.

Martin and the EMA on site would approach the situation from a bird’s eye view and work with government agencies if necessary. Local law enforcement, firefighters and medical providers would assist residents and travelers and report to the command center. A chlorine disaster would likely overwhelm all of its departments and agencies outside the county would be called in to help, the group agreed.

The mock accident site is not a densely populated area, but The Waters of Lebanon rehabilitation and nursing facility is in the path of the greenish-yellow chlorine cloud.

Two of The Waters’ administrators attended the exercise and said it was best to house residents on-site. But because winds can shift and chlorine is particularly corrosive to people with respiratory problems, the group also planned a way to evacuate the facility using buses from Boone County Senior Services or Lebanon Community Schools.

The scenario occurred on an April afternoon when schools were on vacation. The group planned to reroute buses and close Interstate 65 so people couldn’t drive through the cloud. But a highway closure would trigger a traffic nightmare in Lebanon.

The plume from such a leak in this area may also impact the Boone County 4-H Fairgrounds and any events held there. And it could flood the Boone County Jail. The sheriff’s administration can work from the command bus and move it around at will, Harris said. Martin also has a command trailer available.

Security

“We can repair the valve under safe conditions,” Martin said of the rail car.

But we don’t have the personal protective equipment to do this in a chlorine cloud, said LFD Battalion Chief Jason Lee.

As a result, the county would call a hazmat team from Hamilton County, and it could take up to two hours for that team to prepare and approach the rail car.

Meanwhile, first responders would help those caught gardening or watching TV in their homes evacuate or find safe shelter.

Martin said his agency could distribute evacuation orders through local media, as well as police and health department radio stations, social media and other means.

“Self-evacuation will be key,” said Lebanon Fire Chief Chuck Batts. “We need a plan for where they can go and off-site decontamination for them.”

Chlorine causes burns and is corrosive to eyes, lungs and skin. It can corrode metals in seconds. But water will wash it away from people. “It really is that simple,” Batts said.

Water can also slow the spread of a chlorine cloud, Batts said. It drizzled during one of Lebanon’s previous chlorine leaks, and the rain helped a lot, he said. Additionally, his department can dump one tanker at a time into a cloud of chlorine while they wait for the Hamilton County hazardous materials team.

Martin would also seek help from CSX Railroad.

The Boone County Health Department would monitor leaks into the surrounding soil and water. And the Salvation Army of Boone County would set up a cafeteria to serve displaced residents and emergency responders during the duration of such an event, said co-coordinator Kristen Linton.

After a disappointing start to the 2024 college football season, Florida State football finally emerged from the slump with a win over Cal last weekend.

The Seminoles, who started as the No. 10 team in the US LBM Coaches Poll, began the season with three straight losses but earned a 14-9 win over the Bears last week to move to 1-3. On Saturday, FSU (1-3, 1-2 ACC) will welcome a second straight team to make its ACC debut when it travels to SMU.

Saturday’s ACC matchup between the Seminoles and Mustangs will be the first-ever meeting between these programs, making it even more exciting for FSU’s first true road game. The Seminoles opened the season in Ireland before playing three straight games at Doak Campbell Stadium.

This weekend, the undefeated Cougars (4-0) face the Broncos (2-1) in a highly anticipated matchup.

The Cougars, led by the dynamic John Mateer, are on a winning streak, earning impressive victories over Washington and San Jose State. Meanwhile, the Broncos, ranked No. 25 in the AP poll, showcased their offensive prowess with standout performances against Georgia Southern and Portland State and a competitive performance against Oregon.

Washington has found a reliable quarterback in Mateer, who has demonstrated his ability to lead comebacks and keep the offense rolling. On the other hand, the Broncos have a strong rushing attack led by Ashton Jeanty, a talented running back who will be a force to be reckoned with.

• Warning: Major spoilers for Chris Sanders’ film “The Wild Robot.”
• Sanders says working on “The Lion King” helped him create a shocking moment in “The Wild Robot.”
• “You deal with it in a certain way so you don’t throw punches,” the director told Business Insider.

Chris Sanders has a long history of incorporating serious themes into animated films for children. Before directing modern classics like Lilo & Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon, he was a senior storyboard artist at Disney Animation and helped develop iconic titles like Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King”. (He received “Story By” credits for all three.)

When it came to creating another heartwarming yet tear-jerking animated classic, he took a cue from his work on The Lion King and the film’s most devastating moment.

“The Wild Robot,” based on the acclaimed book series by Peter Brown, is about a robot named ROZZUM 7134 (Lupita Nyong’o) – “Roz” for short – who sets out for the first time on an island populated only by human wildlife . Programmed to meet the needs of humans, Roz sets out to see if any of the animals on the island need help.

As Roz struggles to adjust to the island, he accidentally falls into a goose nest and kills the mother. When only one of her eggs survives, Roz makes it her goal to raise the gosling until it is old enough to join the winter migration.

While the scene won’t traumatize a generation of children like the death of Bambi’s mother in “Bambi,” it’s still a shocking moment for a children’s film. But Sanders knew it had to be in the film because it’s a central plot point in Brown’s books.

“That’s the core of his story,” Sanders told Business Insider. Every good story needs stakes, even if it is intended for children. “Death is omnipresent on this island, because it must be a place with consequences.”

Part of this death is addressed through comedy. In one scene, a mother opossum, voiced by Catherine O’Hara, is relieved to learn that one of her babies has been eaten because she has too many (the scene ends with the baby turning out to be still alive) .

But after the mother goose’s death, Sanders knew he had to take a clear approach. So he used the death of Mufasa in The Lion King as a guide.

“I learned on ‘The Lion King’ that you can do something like that, but you handle it in a certain way so you don’t throw punches,” he said. Softening the blow will only hurt the effectiveness of the story later, but it’s a delicate dance: “You want this to be really powerful, but you do it carefully.”

“The Wild Robot” achieves this by making the actual death of the mother goose happen quickly – it lasts less than a minute on screen and the focus is more on Roz discovering and caring for the egg than on the death itself.

The scene sets the tone for a film that is an emotional journey and stands on the shoulders of the classic Disney titles that Sanders was involved in decades ago.

“The Wild Robot” is in theaters now.

Americans could also face high prices and shortages this holiday season, but this time it would be due to a worker strike and not a global pandemic.

On Thursday, the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) said collective bargaining with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) remained on hold and that about 45,000 of its union workers at 36 ports on the East and Gulf Coasts were poised to agree on October 13 go. 1 for the first time since 1977.

A strike could lead to shortages of certain items and drive up prices for voters already frustrated by housing and food inflation, experts said. The ports handle about half of U.S. sea imports, including food, clothing, auto parts, cars shipped by container and Christmas toys, experts said.
