Die Auswirkungen des Regens und der Winde von Hurrikan Helene verursachen Schäden in ganz Ost-Tennessee.

Der stetige Regen eines typischen Sturms begann diese Woche zunächst Ost-Tennessee zu durchdringen, dann wehten die äußeren Bänder des Hurrikans Helene in die südlichen Appalachen. Jetzt sind die Überreste des Sturms hierher gelangt und haben die Winde, die Schäden verursacht haben, über weite Teile von Florida und Georgia gebracht.

„Es ist zu erwarten, dass umgestürzte Bäume und Stromleitungen zu Stromausfällen führen. Kehren Sie um, ertrinken Sie nicht“, warnten Experten des National Weather Service-Büros in Morristown.

Schulen sind geschlossen und Fußballspiele werden abgesagt.

ATLANTA – As he walked off the field in the ninth inning to a thunderous standing ovation and two outs, Max Fried’s thoughts and emotions were racing. He knew he had done everything in his power to help the Atlanta Braves win a crucial game and that it might be the last time he played in an Atlanta uniform at Truist Park.

“I’d be lying if I said it didn’t cross my mind,” Fried said after pitching 8 2/3 dominant innings against the Kansas City Royals on Friday. The 3-0 win helped the Braves move level with the New York Mets in the NL wild-card standings with four games remaining, including a makeup doubleheader on Monday against the Mets.

Both teams, with a record of 87-71, are one percentage point ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks (88-72) as the three vying for the final two wild-card openings.

“I hope to have a lot more (home starts) deep into the playoffs and that we can go as far as we can and hopefully win the whole thing,” Fried said. “But yeah, when I walked away and heard that, it was emotional. I am extremely grateful and very thankful.”

Max Fried had an absolute gem against Kansas City, getting within one point of a two-hit shutout before drawing a walk and a double in the ninth. He left the game to a standing ovation, Iglesias came in and made it 3-0 on a pitch #Braves win.

Fried, who was out of contract beyond this season and eligible for free agency this fall, came within one of his pitching, which would have been his second MLB-leading shutout of the season.

But after a two-out walk in the ninth by Bobby Witt Jr. and a double by Michael Massey, Fried settled for a great outing – three hits, two walks, nine strikeouts – his third start in eight or more scoreless runs innings this year, tied for the most in the majors with Seattle’s Luis Castillo.

“He was on a mission,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “I mean, he came out of the seventh and said something like, ‘I feel good and do what you need to do.’ And after the eighth, he came out and said, “I’m fine.” Like, “I want this.” And I say, Well, go ahead, you know?”

Fried needed just nine pitches in that perfect eighth inning with two strikeouts.

Asked if Fried excelled when the Braves needed it most, Snitker said: “How many times have we seen Max do that? Just come up big when you need him to and just have another game of his life. And you notice that pretty clearly. I saw the first inning and thought, well, this is going to be a good one. He had everything under control.”

In a way, it worked out perfectly because when Fried handed the ball off to Snitker with one out left, the enthusiastic crowd was able to show their appreciation by standing together and applauding as Fried walked toward the dugout.

“He deserves everything and maybe more,” said catcher Sean Murphy, whose two-run, two-out fourth-inning home run off Royals starter Brady Singer provided all the offense until the eighth inning.

“I think that’s about all he needed tonight. He didn’t need much,” Murphy said of that two-run home run, his 10th. “That was one of the better versions of Max we’ve seen this year. …I mean, you can just talk about him tonight. He pounded through the zone and went right at the guys, and the pitch count was down. He got quick outs. Everything rolled in his direction. You couldn’t ask for more.”

As Fried left the field, instead of keeping his head down like he normally does, he looked up at the crowd and looked in different directions at the Braves fans.

“I just want to thank the fans for pushing us,” Fried said. “They motivate us a lot and make us dig deeper even though we may not think we can do it. But faith and energy help us rise up and do different things that we often didn’t think we could do. In that moment I was just able to acknowledge them a little bit and thank them.”

Raisel Iglesias needed just one throw to reach the final out – a fly to left by Salvador Perez – and complete the Braves’ sixth win in seven games, giving them a season-high 16 games over .500.

Snitker was asked if he was thinking about it possibly being Fried’s last start for the Braves at Truist Park.

“Yeah, that was on my mind before the game,” Snitker said. “This is a special place. It’s a special place to play. I’ve been saying this for as long as I’ve been here, and it wasn’t until I sat in this seat that I realized Braves Country is real. It’s a real thing. And these people are incredible. All over the Southeast – we travel all over the country and feel it.

“There is energy and adrenaline every night in this stadium outside of our dugout. It’s amazing. All summer. You know, I looked up and thought, school’s over and tonight is Friday night football at the high school, and to see the support of the crowd out there, man, that’s something. These guys see it and they feel it.”

The Braves’ final run was one of the more unexpected developments of the season as it came after a bases steal by Marcell Ozuna, the first for the veteran since 2022 and just his third in five seasons. Ozuna, who had led off from eighth base and fought on with a groundout, noticed that reliever Carlos Hernández was slow at the plate and wasn’t paying much attention to the burly DH at second base.

So Ozuna went to third and Perez’s throwing error on the play allowed him to keep running and score.

“The third baseman was behind (the base), so…two outs, so I just left,” Ozuna said, smiling as he recounted the moment. “Alone. I said I’m ready, my legs are ready, I’ve been relaxing the last few days, let me go.”

How surprised was Snitker that he took third place?

“As surprised as anyone in the baseball world,” Snitker said with a laugh. “You gave him the bag.”

In fact, a clubhouse guard grabbed the base that was leaning against Ozuna’s locker after the game.

“I mean, I was wondering,” Snitker said. “He had something there. He felt good about it. I asked myself. But like I said, he made a run that made a game like this huge.”

Ozuna was just happy to extend the lead on a night where Fried tested the team.

“Oh my God, he’s great,” Ozuna said of Fried. “Especially as the season comes to an end, he has turned things around. Another person on the hill. As for me, I never doubted him. He is one of the best. He is amazing. Amazing person. He goes out and grinds every single outing.”

The postponement of two games against the Mets on Wednesday and Thursday because of torrential rain and the approach of Hurricane Helene had the potential to be a setback for the Braves, who had won five of six and finally had some offensive flow before the soggy break.

It was also unwelcome for the Mets, who left for Milwaukee after the postponements and had to return to Atlanta on Monday to play one or both of those games in a doubleheader – the day after the other 28 MLB teams finished their seasons and on the day Before wild card series begin in both leagues.

Despite Friday’s loss, the Royals secured their first postseason berth since 2015 with the Minnesota Twins’ loss to the Baltimore Orioles. Two hours after the game, the Royals took the field at empty Truist Park and celebrated in front of the visitors’ dugout.

For the Braves and Mets, the only way to avoid having to play at least one of those games on Monday is for the NL wild card picture to be cleared before Monday, which is unlikely but not impossible, especially if the Braves continue to pitch and won, as they did when they played again on Friday evening.

Murphy had his own take on the situation, a way to turn the oddity into a positive.

“I think it’s an opportunity to be involved in something weirder, sillier and unprecedented,” he said. “You know, I think a potential doubleheader before the playoffs is kind of fun. And yeah, I think embracing it is the only thing you can do.”

COCKE COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) – The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency maintains that the Walters Dam, also known as Waterville Dam, has not failed. TEMA cites the dam’s owner, Duke Energy.

It comes just about an hour after Cocke County Mayor Rob Mathis said the dam had suffered a “catastrophic failure.”

“THE WATERVILLE DAM HAS SUFFERED A catastrophic failure,” Mathis posted on Facebook. “Immediate evacuation of entire downtown Newport.”

It is important to note that both Mathis and TEMA remain compliant with the evacuation order.

Previous coverage: First Alert weather closes roads and schools across East Tennessee

The evacuation notice came as heavy rains caused by the remnants of Hurricane Helene caused flooding throughout Cocke County, particularly in areas near the Pigeon River and French Broad River.

According to the United States Geological Survey, both rivers are normally below 5 feet. As of 9 p.m., the Pigeon River was at 27.33 feet. At 9:45 p.m., the French Broad River was at 23.31 feet.

Previous coverage: Scattered showers with at times gusty winds will continue this weekend

WVLT News reached out to Duke Energy for an update:

Duke Energy currently has all gates open at Waterville Dam and continues to transfer water through the dam. Duke Energy can confirm that both the dam and our locks are operating as expected. Hurricane Helene brought historic rainfall across much of the Carolinas over the past 48 hours. We urge people living along our lakes and rivers or in flood-prone areas to be cautious, stay informed and follow state and county emergency management guidance. They should also pay attention to emergency notifications on their cell phones.

As for the dam itself, the Army Corps of Engineers maintains an inventory of dams across the country.

The National Inventory of Dams lists Walters Dam as “high” in terms of potential hazards.

It’s the latest in a series of updates from Mathis about the emergency situation in Cocke County.

“All county and city emergency resources are currently fully engaged in water rescue and evacuation efforts,” Mathis said earlier Friday. “We are still several hours away from the expected high water mark. Thank you to all of our emergency responders for their heroic efforts today and in the days ahead.”

The situation, not just in Cocke County but throughout East Tennessee, prompted a response from Gov. Bill Lee.

“As severe weather and flooding from Hurricane Helene continues to occur in Tennessee, we are monitoring conditions and urging Tennesseans to follow local guidelines for important resources, safety information and community updates,” Lee said. “Maria and I continue to pray for all Tennesseans affected.”

As of Friday afternoon, Cocke County Sheriff CJ Ball said there have been over 50 rescue attempts in the county with no fatalities. In addition, Ball said a fire truck, an ambulance and seven patrol cars carrying the sheriff’s office were lost in the flooding.

There is also an emergency shelter at the Newport Community Center (433 Prospect Ave.) for those living north of Wilton Springs. Liberty Church in Cosby has been designated as an evacuation center for those south of Wilton Springs.

TEMA also provides a list of emergency shelters throughout the state. That’s what’s available here.

Mathis has also declared a state of emergency in Cocke County.

As with other dams in East Tennessee, the Tennessee Valley Authority has issued a yellow status for Nolichucky Dam in Greene County out of an abundance of caution.

According to TVA, the yellow condition means the dam is nearing its limit to withstand excessive flooding. Officials, however, stressed that the dam structure had not failed.

“I think Tim Walz will say that loud and clear, and JD Vance needs to make it very clear that there will be no federal ban on abortion,” Jensen said. “That’s what Trump said, and they need to make that very clear.”

The family doctor and former state senator originally supported an abortion ban in his 2022 campaign and chose a vice president known as an outspoken anti-abortion candidate, former Minnesota Viking Matt Birk. That helped him win the Republican nomination, but wasn’t well received by the broader electorate.

When Walz and Jensen met for their second of three debates two years ago, Jensen tried to downplay abortion and insisted it was not on the ballot.

For Walz it certainly was.

“Throughout my career, I have trusted women to make their health decisions,” Walz said as they met at KTTC-TV’s studios in Rochester for their only televised prime-time debate. “I don’t think anyone sitting in this office should be standing between them.”

Jensen had claimed that state courts had already ruled that abortion rights were protected by the Minnesota Constitution and accused Walz of “fearmongering” by claiming they could be in danger. He said he wouldn’t ban abortion because he couldn’t – that would require a constitutional amendment.

But Walz pointed out that former President Donald Trump’s nominees to the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade after suggesting in their confirmation hearings that it was settled law. In Minnesota, Walz said, governors appoint justices to the state Supreme Court.

“I just want to be very clear: This is on the ballot,” Walz said. “It will have an impact on generations to come.”

Vance and Trump are treading cautiously after their previous support for restricting access to abortion, saying they now want to leave it up to the states.

Trump repeatedly declined to say whether he would veto a national abortion ban during his Sept. 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, insisting that a ban would not pass Congress anyway. Still, he has often been credited with appointing the three justices who helped overturn the constitutional right to abortion. He has backed away from statements he made in March that he would support a nationwide ban.

Vance himself had spoken out strongly against abortion in the run-up to his Senate run in 2022, but joined Trump this year. Harris and Walz urged their audience not to trust Trump and Vance on abortion rights.

Walz’s abortion rights comments from debates with Jensen in 2022 sound like statements he might try again in a conflict with Vance, said Kevin Parsneau, a political science professor at Minnesota State University in Mankato. Despite comments from Trump and Vance that a national ban is off the table and the matter is in the hands of the states, Walz said the next president and Congress could override anything the states do, said he.

Not only was abortion rights a winning issue for Walz, who defeated Jensen by nearly 8 percentage points in 2022, the issue also helped Democrats gain control of both chambers of the Minnesota Legislature and the governor’s office for the first time in eight years take over. That “trifecta” allowed them to pass a sweeping progressive agenda in 2023 that included stronger protections for abortion rights — and put Walz on Harris’ radar when she needed a vice president.

Both Walz and Jensen felt uneasy during their third debate on Minnesota Public Radio.

Walz essentially ignored Jensen’s criticism of his 1995 drunk driving arrest in Nebraska, and Jensen called him the “godfather of the crime epidemic.” Walz lapsed into some rambling answers, prompting Jensen to quip a point when the moderator retorted, “Thanks, I almost fell asleep.”

Walz will make adjustments on the move, Jensen said, so Vance will have to plan his attacks carefully.

“Tim Walz has an affable personality. I worked with him when I was in the Senate,” Jensen said. “He’s a happy guy. If you try to turn Tim Walz into something evil, I don’t think it will work. Because Tim Walz is not evil. He is an experienced politician who learned on the job.”

The Trump-Vance campaign has already criticized Walz’s response to the unrest that accompanied protests over the 2020 killing of George Floyd, a Black man who died under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer, and Vance could criticize it again bring up. While Trump praised Walz then, Republicans now say Walz should have moved more quickly to deploy the National Guard. The governor said in the KTTC-TV debate that he was proud of how he and Minnesota’s first responders responded to the crisis, “no matter how much I am vilified by Scott.”

Vance has already previewed attacks on Walz’s military history. Walz served in the Army National Guard for 24 years but retired when he first ran for Congress in 2005, before his unit deployed to Iraq. At one point he described himself as a retired master sergeant and served as such for less than a year. However, his rank was downgraded to the rank of Master Sergeant for performance reasons because he had not completed the required coursework. His careless use of language included the claim by some that he had served in combat when this was not the case.

Vance, who served four years in the Marines, including six months as a military journalist in Iraq, has accused Walz of “stolen valor.”

“I’m damn proud of my service to this country,” Walz responded in a speech at a union convention. “And I firmly believe that you should never denigrate another person’s length of service. To anyone brave enough to put on this uniform for our great country, including my opponent, I just want to say a few simple words. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.”

Vance thanked Walz for his service in a social media post, but accused Walz of lying about his record.

“I look forward to discussing this more in a debate,” Vance wrote.

A key challenge for Vance, Jensen said, will be making sure Walz answers the questions asked of him.

“You shouldn’t underestimate Tim Walz because he has the ability to speak quickly and sincerely, and yet without the audience noticing he can often go on for a minute or two and everything somehow falls into place. On the surface OK, but if They stop and ask, ‘Did he answer the question?’ He didn’t,” Jensen said. “Tim Walz will throw word salad at you and you won’t even know it’s happening.”

Just last week, Leah Peters was on top of the world — or at least Jankie World ⁠— To Big Brother. But what happens comes, and she found that out the hard way in Thursday’s live eviction episode (September 26).

You see, Leah successfully dismantled The Trio by targeting T’Kor Clottey. It was a very big power move, as T’kor was considered a leading candidate for the overall win at one point in the season. However, the remaining two members of this crew — Kimo Apaka and Ruina Bernabe – worked hard to get revenge on Leah by convincing Makensy Manbeck to use her veto power to save Kimo from the block and put up Leah instead. And it worked.

Did Leah see this switcheroo coming? And how did she feel about the unanimous decision to send her away? TV Insider caught up with Leah Peters to find out. (Note: She was not aware of the consequences of the subsequent eviction at the time of the interview.)

(Also, be sure to check out our previous exit interviews with Matt Hardeman, Lisa Weintraub, Kenney Kelley, Cedric Hodges, Brooklyn Rivera, Tucker Des Lauriers, Joseph Rodriguez, Quinn Martin and T’kor Clottey.)

Were you surprised that the vote was unanimous to evict Angela, and why or why not?

Leah Peters: I’m very shocked that I’m the only unanimous voter so far Big Brother Season 26. Going up against Angela is even better because I think everyone uses Angela as a perpetual pawn and I kept trying to point out that standing next to her is how you go home. I was another one Subject of this pattern. So it’s very shocking and surprising, but also iconic. That’s why I’m happy to be one.

Do you have bad feelings for Makensy, your original throuple throw-mance ally with Matt Hardenman, after she confronted you about Kimo, her own choice?

I could never be angry with Makensy. She is someone I really care about. I think she did what she truly felt was best for her game and I will support her every step of the way.

Looking back on the season, is there anything you wish you had a mulligan on and why?

I don’t think it’s fair to ask myself what I could have done better. I firmly believe that anything I could have done differently would have had the exact same result. I’m really proud of the way I played the game. And at the end of the day, it’s easy to say all the things you would do differently. But if I had gone one step further, I would have been proud of it. So I don’t want to have any regrets in this regard and just move on.

Now that you’re on the jury, what do you expect and who might you be able to advocate for?

Oh, expect the unexpected. That is Big Brother. I really want a woman to win this season. That was my goal all along. I’m for Angela, Makensy or Chelsea. It would be absolutely amazing if three of them won and I will support them. I think they are all fantastic, highly motivated and smart women and watching them win would be an achievement for anyone.

Who are you most looking forward to spending time with outside of the house?

Outside the house, I look forward to spending time with Kimo. Honestly, T’kor, Quinn, Joseph. There are so many people. It’s hard to narrow it down, but I’m really looking forward to spending time with almost everyone, including Chelsie and Makensy, and getting the chance to build real relationships with them that aren’t about a pot of gold to crawl. They’re all amazing people and I’m really looking forward to cultivating these relationships outside of the house.

When MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani hit his 50th home run last week, fans packed the stands to catch the milestone baseball.

But the fight for this piece of MLB history is far from over. The argument between two fans Things are set to get even more complicated as online bidding for the iconic baseball begins Friday and continues through October 16th. The opening bid is $500,000.

On Thursday, a judge in Florida ruled that the auction could proceed despite ongoing litigation, but that the baseball could not be sold before the Oct. 10 court hearing in the case.

Earlier this month, Los Angeles Dodgers player Ohtani made history in a game against the Miami Marlins by hitting a total of 50 home runs and stealing 50 bases in a single season.

The milestone 50th home run ball landed in left field at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida. – leading to a chaotic scramble among fans trying to get their hands on it. In the end, there were two men fighting for baseball – Max Matus and Chris Belanski.

In a video of the altercation released on XBelanski appears on his knees and Matus is bent over as both grip the ball tightly. Belanski later yells, “I got it!” before waving the ball in the air.

On Wednesday, Matus filed a lawsuit against Belanski, another fan, and Goldin Auctions, which purchased the baseball. In the lawsuit, Matus claims he was the first to catch the ball and Belanski stole the ball from him. It added that Matus attended the baseball game to celebrate his 18th birthday.

“Belanski wrapped his legs around Max’s arm and used his hands to rip the ball out of Max’s hands, thereby stealing the ball,” the suit said.

In an interview with ESPN, Ken Goldin, CEO of Goldin Auctions, said that a man – whom he did not name – contacted the auction house about the baseball, also known as the 50/50 ball, the day after the Dodgers game.

Matus’ attorney, John Uustal, said Thursday filed an injunction to stop the auction. The request was later rejected by a judge in Florida. A hearing is scheduled for October 10 – about a week before the auction ends.

Uustal, an attorney with the Florida-based law firm Kelley-Uustal, said the 18-year-old high school student simply wanted the ball back. “He loves baseball and he loved that ball and he would love to have it,” he said.

Uustal added that he is prepared for a long legal battle if necessary. Depending on how the judge rules at the upcoming hearing, the milestone baseball event could be out of reach for any fan until the lawsuit is resolved.

Belanski’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A Goldin spokesman said: “We are delighted to bring this item to market. Although Goldin has been named as a party in the case, there are no allegations of wrongdoing by the company.”

This isn’t the first time fights over home run balls have spilled from the stadium into the courtroom. In 2001, Barry Bonds hit a record-breaking home run. Initially the ball came into contact with Alex Popov, but later he was attacked by other fans and the ball rolled to Patrick Hayashi.

The two went to court over who was the rightful owner of the baseball. In the end, the California Supreme Court ruled that both men had the right to attend the ball and that neither could be lawfully deprived of it. The couple sold the ball and split the proceeds evenly.

The Nintendo Switch really changed the public perception of gaming handhelds, didn’t it? Despite being far from a powerful device, the Switch sold (and still sells) remarkably well, and the much smaller Nintendo Switch Lite was a real hit too.

Now it looks like Lenovo is taking a cue from Nintendo, as a mix-up with some of the Legion Go Dock’s specs seems to have revealed that there’s not only a Legion Go Gen Two, but also a Lite version, ahem.

If this is still a secret, then it’s one that Lenovo has kept particularly close. We recently reported on text on the Legion Go’s product page that appeared to reference both a smaller device and possibly an updated version. Now the specs released for the Legion Go USB-C Dock appear to have given the game away again, with Legion Go Gen One, Legion Go Gen Two and Legion Go Lite mentioned among the supported systems.

All mentions have since been deleted, but it was Videocardz that first discovered the new product listings. Leaked images of the alleged Legion Go Lite case were also posted by a YouTuber, so at this point Lenovo might as well throw in the towel and give us a close look, I’d say.

The case itself appears to show a smaller Legion Go case without the original’s detachable controllers, which is no surprise for a model that appears to be calling itself a “Lite.” Still, we were big fans of the original Switch-like removable modules, so it’s a shame to see them go.

However, it was a bit tedious, so a Lite version seems like a smart move. PC gaming handhelds are often bulky devices to carry around – and while this new model still doesn’t look like it’ll fit in your jeans, I’d say it has a better chance of being slipped into a crowded backpack, without sticking, it comes out like a sore thumb.

And what about a full-fledged Gen 2? There’s always a chance we’ll see new, more powerful internals. The original used the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme, but a lot has happened in the APU world since then.

Personally, I’m excited for any Lunar Lake handhelds coming our way now that we’re starting to see the chips in action – but I have a feeling it might just be a screen refresh (fingers crossed for OLED !), or perhaps a subtle refinement of the original design, like the Asus ROG Ally X.

We really won’t know anything for sure until Lenovo says something official about the new models, which it might as well do at this point. Whatever the case, if they both manage to refine the recipe (albeit in different ways), Lenovo could well have some success on its hands.

The OG Legion Go may have been a clunky affair, but it was still a pretty impressive machine. And while the world eagerly awaits more news about the Nintendo Switch 2, an advanced Legion Go coupled with a compact model could perhaps help Lenovo win over new customers.

UCF football returns after break this week for perhaps its biggest home game of the 2024 college football season.

After a thrilling 21-point come-from-behind win at TCU in Week 3, the Knights (3-0) return home Saturday to host Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes (3-1, 1-0 in Big 12 Game). to FBC Mortgage Stadium for the Big 12 home opener in Week 5.
