Dallas Zoo alerts police after 2 monkeys declared missing, believed to be ‘taken’
Police believe two monkeys were taken from their enclosure at the Dallas Zoo Monday morning.
Zoo spokeswoman Kari Streiber said when staff discovered two emperor tamarin monkeys were missing, it was immediately “clear the habitat had been intentionally compromised.” According to police, the habitat had been cut.
Streiber said since the monkeys, which are expected to “stay close to home,” were still unaccounted for as of 3:50 p.m., police “have reason to believe the tamarins were taken.”
The zoo was closed Monday due to inclement weather, and isn’t expected to reopen until Thursday.
No additional information was immediatley available.
The investigation comes after an unprecedented string of events at the Dallas Zoo, including another missing animal, additional torn enclosures and an unusual death.
On Jan. 13, a 4-year-old clouded leopard named Nova had a day of social media fame when the zoo announced she had escaped from her enclosure. After search involving infrared drones, a “code blue” and Dallas police’s SWAT team, she was found on-site and unharmed.
The day after Nova escaped, officials revealed a similar cut was found on the langur monkeys’ enclosure, but said all of the langurs were in their habitat and accounted for.
About a week after the habitat vandalisms, a 35-year-old endangered vulture was found dead, and zoo staff quickly deemed the cause “unusual.” The bird, named Pin, was one of four lappet-faced vultures at the zoo. He had been at the Dallas Zoo for 33 years.
At first, officials only said that Pin’s death did not appear to be from natural causes, but after the zoo’s veterinary team conducted a necropsy — or an animal autopsy — they said the bird was found with a “wound.”
The Dallas Zoo is offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who provides information, on any of the cases, that leads to an arrest and indictment.

15 million people are under winter weather alerts as the record-setting storm that inundated California pushes east
CNN
—
More than 15 million people from California to Wisconsin are under winter weather alerts Sunday as the Pacific storm system that brought record-setting rainfall and severe flooding pushes east.
Some residents in Northern California are still grappling with epic flooding and power outages after the storm system led to highway closures and water rescues Saturday.
The city of Oakland had its wettest day on record Saturday, with 4.75 inches of rain in a 24-hour period – beating the previous record set on January 4, 1982, the National Weather Service office in San Francisco said.
The severe weather was caused by a powerful atmospheric river – a long, narrow region in the atmosphere that can carry moisture thousands of miles, like a fire hose in the sky.
Now, as that same storm system heads east, it could dump a foot of snow across the Sierras and up to 2 feet of snow in parts of the Rockies by late Monday. Local forecasters warn travel could be difficult.
The severe weather, which included high winds, left about 235,000 homes, businesses and other power customers without electricity in California and Nevada on Sunday, according to Poweroutage.US.
The storm also forced some Northern California residents out of their homes on New Year’s Eve as streets started to flood and evacuation orders and warnings were issued.
In addition to urban flooding, several rivers started overflowing – including the Cosumnes and Mokelumne rivers and the Mormon Slough, according to the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
Despite the flooding headaches, the moisture is actually a relief for drought-stricken California – which started 2022 with the driest beginning of the year on record and ended the year with drenched roadways and thick mountain snow.
But it’s not clear how much the storm will make a dent in California’s drought conditions.
Officials ordered residents in Wilton – roughly 20 miles from Sacramento – to leave the area immediately at one point Saturday, warning that rising water may spill onto roadways and cut off access to leave the area. About two hours later, Wilton residents were told to shelter in place after water made roads “impassable.”
Three communities near the city of Watsonville were also told to evacuate by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office due to creek flooding, while the rising San Lorenzo River waters prompted evacuations in the communities of Paradise Park and Felton.
In San Ramon, police used an armored rescue vehicle to evacuate residents from floodwater.
“Flooding impacts continue to escalate as this rain continues with too many road closures to count at this point,” the NWS said Saturday. The weather service told residents to stay put amid reports of rock and mudslides across the foothills and road closures across the Sierra passes.
Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District crews performed water rescues and responded to drivers whose vehicles became disabled after they drove through standing water Saturday, officials said.
Calling it “Stormageddon,” the Amador County Sheriff’s Office shared an image of cars up to their doorhandles in floodwater.
Highway 50 reopened just after midnight, hours after a section between Pollock Pines and Meyers was closed due to flooding from the American River. Another section was closed over Echo Summit for avalanche control work.
Interstate 80 was also partially closed near the Nevada line Saturday “due to multiple spinouts over Donner Summit,” the California Department of Transportation said.
By late Sunday morning, I-80 in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains had reopened to passenger vehicles only, “with R2 chain restrictions,” California Highway Patrol in Truckee tweeted. The restriction means chains or traction devices are required on all except four-wheel-drive vehicles with snow tires on all four wheels.
“The roads are extremely slick so let’s all work together and SLOW DOWN so we can keep I-80 open,” the agency said.
US Highway 101 – one of California’s most famous routes – was also temporarily closed in both directions in South San Francisco with the California Highway Patrol reporting “water is not receding due to non-stop rainfall & high tides preventing the water to displace.”
In the Sacramento County area, residents were advised to avoid travel as wind gusts of up to 55 mph toppled trees and covered roads with debris, according to a tweet from the National Weather Service in Sacramento.
The county proclaimed a state of emergency, saying the atmospheric river has caused “significant transportation impacts, rising creek and river levels and flooding” in the Wilton area.
Downtown San Francisco got 5.46 inches Saturday, making it the second wettest day on record for the area, according to the National Weather Service in the Bay Area.
This heavy rainfall is expected to slide southward to Southern California on Sunday, accompanied by gusty winds of 30 to 50 mph.
While parts of Northern California grapple with heavy rainfall, mountainous areas are getting covered with snow.
The UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab reported 7.5 inches of snowfall per hour between 4 and 5 p.m. Saturday in Soda Springs, about 30 miles from Lake Tahoe, and shared video of thick snow blanketing the area.
The lab said it had unofficial measurements of more than 30 inches of snow on Saturday.
Over a foot of new snow fell at Mammoth Mountain’s Main Lodge Saturday, the ski resort said on Facebook, adding that work will take place across the mountain since all lifts were coated in ice and “avalanche danger is extremely high.”
Winter storm puts millions under alerts coast-to-coast as record-low temps and power outages arrive before Christmas
CNN
—
The massive winter storm battering the US with plunging temperatures coast-to-coast has left thousands without power and prompted more than a dozen governors to create emergency response plans ahead of Christmas weekend.
The storm – well on its way to becoming even stronger Friday – has delivered heavy snow and ice, making for grim road conditions with poor visibility, leaving some drivers stranded in unbearably frigid temperatures.
Travel is also being snarled, with hundreds of miles of road closures and flight cancellations growing rapidly.
FOLLOW LIVE UPDATES
Ahead of the holiday weekend, more than 200 million people in the US are under wind chill alerts from the Canadian border to the Mexican border and from Washington state to Florida, with below-zero wind chills expected in the Southeast by Friday. Other winter weather alerts are in effect for blizzard conditions, ice, snow as well as flooding.
“The National Weather Service’s Watch Warning graphic depicts one of the greatest extents of winter weather warnings and advisories ever,” the agency said Thursday.
Notably, parts of Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming have already seen wind chills below minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit in the past two days.
“The ongoing major winter storm will continue to produce areas of heavy snow, strong winds, and life-threatening wind chills through Saturday. If traveling for the holiday, please use extreme caution and pay attention to the latest forecasts and updates,” the National Weather Service said Thursday.
On Friday, the storm is expected to unleash more heavy snow and blizzard conditions, particularly in the Midwest.
As it treks east across the country, the storm is expected to become a bomb cyclone, a rapidly strengthening storm which drops 24 millibars of pressure within 24 hours. The storm’s pressure is forecast to match that of a Category 2 hurricane as it moves into the Great Lakes Friday.
The storm is also lashing places in the South unaccustomed to such extreme winter conditions. Thousands of homes and businesses were in the dark early Friday across Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi as well as Missouri, according to Poweroutage.us.
Governors in at least 13 states, including in the South such as Georgia and North Carolina, have implemented emergency measures to respond to the storm. Declarations of a state of emergency in several states have included the activation of National Guard units.
Plus, more than 2,600 flights have already been canceled Friday due to the storm.
- It will remain very cold: Friday will bring record-low temperatures in large swaths of the US, including from the Lower Mississippi Valley, northeastward into the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys and stretching across large sections of the east from the Southeast, through the Southern to Central Appalachians and into the mid-Atlantic, according to the National Weather Service.
- Dangerous wind chills: The plummeting temperatures will be accompanied by high winds, which will create dangerous wind chills across nearly all across the central to eastern US.
- Blizzard warnings: The Upper Midwest will see frigid temperatures, heavy snow and high winds. The warning applies to parts of Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota and Michigan. Buffalo, New York, will go under a blizzard warning Friday morning. Such warnings go in effect when snow and wind of 35 mph will reduce visibility to less than a quarter of a mile for at least three hours.
- Whiteout conditions: Blizzard conditions may exist even if snowfall stops, because high winds can pick up snow already on the ground and cause low visibility.
In pictures: Winter storm impacts the US
One of the biggest dangers of the storm beside heavy snow and blizzard conditions is the rapid drop in temperatures over a short period of time. The air will continue to get and feel colder, especially during night hours.
More cities are experiencing rapidly dropping temperatures as arctic air which blasted much of the Western US and Great Plains this week heads east.
Denver: Over one hour, Denver International Airport saw a 37-degree plunge Wednesday, preliminarily the biggest one-hour drop recorded there, according to the National Weather Service.
Chicago: Over 11 hours Wednesday, Chicago’s temperature dropped 38 degrees – in terms of wind chill, a drop of 53 degrees, from 27 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 26.
St. Louis: Over 24 hours from Tuesday to Wednesday night, St. Louis’ temperature dropped 44 degrees – in terms of wind chill, a drop of 61 degrees, from 31 to minus 30.
Memphis: Over six hours Wednesday afternoon and night, Memphis’ temperature dropped 36 degrees – in terms of wind chill, a drop of 54 degrees, from 40 to minus 14.
Nashville: In just two hours Wednesday night, Nashville’s temperature dropped 29 degrees – in terms of wind chill, a drop of 41 degrees, from 39 to minus 2.
Dallas: Over nine hours Wednesday, Dallas’ temperature dropped 31 degrees – in terms of wind chill, a drop of 44 degrees, from 40 to minus 4.
Little Rock, Arkansas: Over nine hours Wednesday afternoon and night, Little Rock’s temperature dropped 36 degrees – in terms of wind chill, a drop of 52 degrees, from 41 to minus 11.
Cheyenne, Wyoming: Over about one hour, temperatures in Cheyenne dropped by 43 degrees. The capital city also saw a 30-degree drop in temperature in 10 minutes.
2 adults, 3 children found dead inside Phoenix home
Phoenix Police detail the death of a family
Phoenix Police Sgt. Melissa Soliz provided details on a family of five being found dead in their home on the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 16. First responders first arrived to the home after reports of a gas leak and unresponsive person.
PHOENIX – A family of five was found dead inside a north Phoenix home Wednesday morning, police confirmed, and it’s being investigated as a homicide.
Phoenix Fire hazmat crews responded to a home near 7th Avenue and Northern because of a reported “hazardous situation” and a possible unresponsive person just after 8 a.m. on Nov. 16.
Two adults and 3 kids were found dead inside with obvious signs of trauma, says Phoenix Police Sgt. Melissa Soliz, adding that a suspect isn’t believed to be on the loose.
It’s not clear what led up to the family being killed.
Southwest Gas turned off the gas to the house as a precaution and later said that crews did find a presence of gas, which made it a bit difficult for first responders to investigate the scene right away.
Numerous ambulances and police vehicles were outside the home, but no other details about the situation were confirmed.
No names were released.
The investigation is continuing throughout the day.

Apple Watch heart rate alerts helped girl discover and treat cancer
Apple Watch is often credited with helping people detect heart disease or even saving their lives thanks to features like fall and car crash detection. But this time, a 12-year-old girl was able to discover and treat cancer before it was too late with the help of Apple Watch’s heart rate notifications.
Apple Watch credited with hinting at cancer
As reported by Hour Detroit, Imani Miles, a 12-year-old girl, and Jessica Kitchen, her mother, now see the Apple Watch as more than just an accessory. That’s because, according to Kitchen, Imani’s Apple Watch suddenly started alerting her about abnormally high heart rates. “That’s really weird because it’s never happened before. It just kept going off,” said the mother.
Following the continuous alerts, Kitchen decided to take her daughter to the hospital. There, Imani had to have surgery to treat appendicitis – but the story didn’t stop there.
The doctors noticed a tumor in her appendix, which according to them, is “rarely seen in children.” After further examination, it was discovered that the cancer had already spread to other parts of Imani’s body. After that, Imani had to undergo surgery again to remove the cancer, but luckily everything turned out well.
Kitchen told the report that she probably would have waited longer to get Imani to the hospital if it weren’t for the Apple Watch alerts. However, this longer wait could’ve been fatal for the girl. “If she didn’t have that watch, it could have been so much worse,” Kitchen said.
João Bocas, who works as a Digital Health Influencer, reinforces how wearables have been playing a “crucial role in supporting people to build better health behaviors.”
Wearables on their own will not be a miracle, but with the combination of human effort they can improve well-being.
More stories about Apple Watch saving lives
Earlier this month, a 34-year-old woman reported finding out she was pregnant after noticing a considerable increase in her resting heart rate as measured by her Apple Watch. In August, a 70-year-old man said his Apple Watch automatically called emergency services after he fainted and hit his head hard on the floor.
Apple, of course, uses these and similar reports to promote the Apple Watch as a product that can save people’s lives. The company published a video last month with multiple people telling their stories about how the Apple Watch has changed their lives, which you can watch below or on YouTube.

Another wave of extreme heat targets Europe, prompting alerts
Amber warnings, the second-highest level, have been hoisted in southern parts of England by the U.K. Met Office.
In mid-July, the Met Office issued its first-ever red warning for “extreme” heat, with more than 40 weather stations surpassing the previous record 101.7 degrees (38.7 Celsius) in Britain. Several stations even spiked to 104 degrees (40 Celsius), a feat that was made 10 times more likely because of human-caused climate change.
A large stretch of western and northwestern Europe will be affected by the upcoming heat wave, with the risk of wildfires accompanying the spiking temperatures. It follows Europe’s sixth-hottest July on record.
Driving the heat is a ridge of high pressure, colloquially known as a heat dome, which will be parked directly over Britain by Tuesday night into Wednesday. In addition to bringing hot, sinking air, it will deflect any inclement weather — making for incessant sunshine.
In Britain, temperatures are expected to peak Friday into Saturday before easing next week. Highs will generally range between 85 and 95 degrees (29 to 35 Celsius), although a few locales may approach 96 or 97 (35.5 to 36 Celsius). It’s unlikely that anyplace will hit the century mark.
A Level 3 out of 4 heat wave action alert has been issued by health officials, who urged residents to “look out for others, especially older people, young children and babies and those with underlying health conditions.” Officials also recommended that the public limit alcohol consumption.
The Met Office is forecasting that London will see highs in the upper 80s to near 90 (30 to 32 Celsius) Thursday through Sunday. Showery weather will arrive to kick off the workweek. The average early August high temperature in London is closer to the lower 70s (low 20s Celsius).
Met Éireann, Ireland’s equivalent to the U.S. National Weather Service, also issued a weather advisory for the country, warning of “heat stress, especially for the more vulnerable of the population,” in addition to a high UV index. It’s worth noting that relatively few residents have air conditioning installed in their homes.
Eighteen departments in France also are under orange heat alerts, and Météo France is calling for temperatures in southwestern parts of the country reaching 97 to 102 degrees (36 to 39 Celsius), with an isolated 104-degree (40 Celsius) reading not improbable.
Paris is predicted to hit 93 on Wednesday, 92 on Thursday and 94 for Friday.
In Spain, which had its hottest July on record, an orange warning for heat is in effect just south of Madrid — where maximum temperature could approach 104 degrees, with many other areas under yellow alerts. But the core of the heat dome should remain farther north in western Europe.
Exacerbating the heat is ongoing severe drought, plaguing many parts of western Europe.
According to climate historian Maximiliano Herrera, it was record dry in some parts of England, including in London. He tweeted that the city had seen “virtually no rain” during the month of July, with less than a millimeter recorded. July typically features closer to 1.8 inches (45 millimeters) of precipitation, with an average of 8 rainy days during the month.
July 2022 in the United Kingdom had an average temperature of 16.6C ,+1.3C above the 1991-2020 normal. It was record dry in parts of England,including London where virtually no rain fell (less than 1mm). Only Northern Scotland had near normal conditions.

— Extreme Temperatures Around The World (@extremetemps) August 8, 2022
The Met Office reported 13 counties across southern and eastern England posted their driest July on record.
There are concerns that the hot, dry atmosphere, combined with parched antecedent conditions, could support the risk of wildfire. The Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service wrote that fire risk “is now very high to exceptional” and that firefighters were especially busy over the past weekend. They urged individuals participating in outdoor recreation to avoid campfires and bonfires.

France is also enduring an exceptional drought, one of its worst on record, according to Météo France. Rainfall was the country’s lowest observed in July and 85 percent below normal.
Nearly 40,000 residents in France were forced to evacuate from wildfires during the third week of July, with similar blazes raging in Spain and Greece.
The very dry conditions are again generating a very high fire danger, especially in southern France.
While the core of the heat will be situated over southern Britain and France from Thursday through Sunday, above-average temperatures will also swell from the Netherlands through southern Scandinavia. The heat will retreat from western Europe early next week shifting toward Eastern Europe.
It’s well-established that human-caused climate change is amplifying the severity, duration and frequency of high-end heat events. In addition to the ultrarare heat that baked Britain last month, a similar-magnitude event brought record-shattering temperatures, including a high of 109 degrees in Paris, in late July 2019.

Arizona man details his monkeypox diagnosis as cases rise in the country
Arizona man details his monkeypox diagnosis as cases rise in the country
PHOENIX – Monkeypox cases are on the rise in the Phoenix area and across the nation, and the Biden administration recently declared the outbreak a public health emergency.
More than a hundred cases of monkeypox have been reported in Arizona and getting the vaccine has been difficult.
A Valley man who wishes to remain anonymous says he’s battling the illness and explains the issues that come with it.
“I woke up Sunday morning and my lip was just completely swollen, and on the top of it was just a little white spot, and it was just oozing stuff,” he said.
Later that day, he went to the hospital, not sure what was wrong. After scans and other tests, they finally decided to test him for monkeypox.
“They asked me if I was a homosexual and if I had been out of the country recently. I am a homosexual, but I haven’t been out of the country,” he said. The next day, he got the results.
He was positive for a disease now labeled a public health emergency.
RELATED: Monkeypox: What you should know as U.S. declares public health emergency
“Having doctors tell you that they don’t know about this is scary, because what am I supposed to do? I didn’t even get any pain medications for this until Friday,” he said.
He’s been in self-induced isolation, waiting to get the antiviral medication that he likely won’t see until Monday, marking exactly one week since his diagnosis.
He says he’s called the Maricopa County Department of Health, his primary care physician, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), feeling like he’s had to fight the medical community the entire way.
An Arizona medical expert says physicians are learning about the illness along with the public.
“It’s not like they see monkeypox or have seen it earlier in their careers, so there is a learning curve for clinicians, for them to effectively learn what the rash looks like,” explains Will Humble, executive director of the Arizona Public Health Association.
MORE: CDC expanding monkeypox testing with commercial laboratories
Humble says there are only three labs that can test for monkeypox in Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Health Services doesn’t require cases to be reported, meaning we don’t actually have an accurate reading.
It “puts Arizona at a disadvantage when it comes to competing with other states for the limited supply of vaccine that’s out there,” Humble says.
While most of those who became infected are recovering, there are situations where that’s not the case, making access to the vaccine or the antiviral medication crucial to stopping the spread.
“It’s not technically a sexually transmitted infection the way say Chlamydia or syphilis or something like that is, but the direct intimate skin-to-skin contact that happens during sex spreads this virus,” Humble explained.
What’s next? Humble says Arizona is currently on the upswing, and that we will see the case count rise in the near future.
Monkeypox? What is it?
According to the CDC, monkeypox is caused by a virus that is in the same genus of viruses that causes smallpox.
Monkeypox, according to the CDC, was first discovered in 1958, following two outbreaks of a pox-like disease in colonies of monkeys that were kept for research.
The first human case of the disease was recorded in a country now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1970, during a period of intensified effort to eliminate smallpox. Since then, the disease has been reported in people in several central and western African countries. Cases have also been reported in the U.S., as well as a number of Asian, Middle Eastern, and European countries.
What are the symptoms of monkeypox?
According to CDC’s website, it takes usually seven to 14 days from the time of infection for a person to start feeling symptoms of the disease, but the incubation period can also range from five to 21 days.
The illness, according to the CDC, begins with:
- Fever
- Headache
- Muscle aches
- Backache
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Chills
- Exhaustion
CDC officials say within one to three days after the appearance of fever, the person infected will develop a rash, often beginning on the face then spreading to other parts of the body. The rash will eventually dry up and fall off.
According to the World Health Organization, symptoms of monkeypox typically last two to four weeks.
Monkeypox: How will the virus affect Arizona?
Amid a rising number of cases, U.S. health officials have declared a public health emergency for monkeypox. FOX 10’s Irene Snyder spoke with a health expert in Arizona on how the virus could impact the Grand Canyon State.
More cases of monkeypox reported around the world
According to the World Health Organization, there have been at least 80 confirmed cases in 11 countries.
