MEMPHIS, Tennessee
An electrical issue is to blame for a large fire that broke out at the Mark Luttrell Transition Center (MLTC) in Memphis on Saturday night.
Investigators say an electrical box exploded in an annex building adjacent to the main facility on State Road.
Just over 200 individuals were evacuated and relocated to another facility as a result. Crews stayed until early Sunday morning to watch for hot spots.
Luckily, no one was injured.
MLTC is a state prison facility that prepares male convicts for successful reentry into society.

LENAWEE CO, Michigan
A shelter-in-place order issued early Mon morning in Lenawee Co has been lifted after crews found an oil leak at a well in Raisin Twp.
The Raisin Twp FD responded around 2:54 a.m. after a resident reported smelling smoke & burning oil & hearing what sounded like bubbling or flowing.
Crews determined the source was a single oil well in a cornfield near E Valley Rd & Breckel Hwy.
Hazmat crews used aerial footage to check the area & confirmed the leak was coming from one well. The well's pump was shut down, but oil continued to come out of the ground.
Officials issued a shelter-in-place order for people within a 1-mile radius of the area while crews investigated the leak & monitored air quality.
After stopping the oil leak, fire officials said there was a gas leak, which caused road closures as crews continue worked to address it.

Ras Badran, Egypt
Local Development and Environment Minister Manal Awad announced Wed the repair of a crude oil pipeline leak off Ras Badran in South Sinai after containing a spill that reached parts of the Abu Rudeis public beach.
The Suez and Sinai branch of the Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) received a report of an oil slick about 2 kilometers from the Ras Badran offshore site.
Field monitoring revealed the slick extended across 3 kilometers. Divers and pollution control crews cleared contaminated materials for safe disposal according to environmental standards, while offshore production platforms underwent a partial shutdown to locate the precise breach.
After Petrobel dispatched a specialized maintenance vessel to seal the pipeline, technicians conducted leak tests before preparing to resume operations.

America's largest reservoir has sunk to its lowest level in history, pushing 40 mil people closer to
Lake Mead has lost 180 feet of water over the past 3 decades as repeated droughts starved the reservoir of the water needed to replenish it.
The vast lake, which stretches along the Colorado River bw NV & AZ, now stands below 1,040 feet above sea level, edging closer to levels that could cripple electricity production at Hoover Dam.
AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill called the extreme drought 'the tipping point' in a decades-long cycle of dry weather across the West, warning that water shortages and power problems are now almost unavoidable.
'At least through the fall season, there's still going to be significant shortages of water,' Merrill told the Daily Mail.

Bees are collapsing in Castlemaine and across Victoria. A local just sent me this photo of their dead hive, and several others are reporting the same. I believe Israeli acute paralysis virus, or IAPV, is the culprit. This RNA virus spreads through the hive via food and the varroa mite. It infects bees at every stage, from eggs to queens, and disrupts their energy production and nervous system. Infected bees shiver, become disoriented, and paralyze. They crawl out of the hive or die just outside, often with darkened bodies and hair loss. This rapid collapse is devastating colonies. The pressure from the new varroa mite, now resistant to synthetic miticides, is making things worse. Save the Bees Australia is tracking this closely

The FDA has authorised Aletta, a device from Dutch company Vitestro that finds a vein, inserts the needle and fills the tubes without a human touching the patient. It uses near infrared light to spot the vein, then ultrasound and Doppler to measure its depth and confirm it is not an artery, before an arm places the needle with sub millimetre precision. In a 1,633 patient trial published in Clinical Chemistry, it hit the vein on the first attempt 94.5% of the time.
