Thousands in Triangle still without power as temperatures plunge overnight
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Christmas weekend got off to a bumpy start for many in the Triangle, where outages meant lack of heat for people staying inside on a day where an arctic blast of cold air blanketed the southeast.
As of Friday night, temperatures had dipped into single-digit wind chills, with thousands of families still without power – and without heat. Power crews were working round-the-clock on Christmas weekend to try and restore power for families.
At the peak of power outages Friday afternoon, more than 200,000 customers were without power in North Carolina as wind speeds picked up in excess of 40 miles per hour in some parts of the state. Wake County saw over 25,000 outages, the most of any county in the state. Durham County had more than 5,000. In Johnston County, there were more than 7,000 without power.
As of 11 p.m. Friday night, around 10,000 were still without power in the Triangle – including Wake, Durham and Orange County.
Duke Energy still had crews working to restore power to customers as of Friday night. High winds slowed their work during the day.
Part of Millbrook Road near Falls of Neuse was still blocked off due to downed power lines just before midnight, with families in the area approaching 10 hours of being without electricity. Some were making last minute plans just to stay safe.
Instead of enjoying a relaxing holiday weekend, Tashyra Fowler, mother of a 9-month-old baby, said the lack of power made it difficult to keep her baby warm and fed.
“It’s been kind of stressful,” she said.
Late at night, Fowler was taking her baby for a ride in the car just to stay warm. They’ll be staying with family tonight.
Isaac Fernandez, of Raleigh, lives just feet away from the tree that barely missed his him when it fell. With no heat, he’s spent the evening huddling around the fireplace with family.
“Hopping around the chimney and making some hot potatoes, that’s all we’re doing,” he said.
“This is all hands on deck,” said Jeff Brooks with Duke Energy. “We all had holiday plans just like everybody else but we put those aside because our first priority is our customers. Because this is a statewide event, we couldn’t shift employees to any one location, so what we’re doing is looking at the areas that are hardest hit, and then we’ll begin shifting resources to assist in those areas.”
Downed trees and power lines cancel some holiday events
One of the more dramatic signs of damage came in Rocky Mount. A series of utility poles were knocked over on Benvenue Road, shutting down the roadway and prompting police and power crews to repair to the damage.
In the Triangle, some intersections were without functioning stoplights. Power was knocked out at Highway 54 and Farrington Road, creating a dangerous situation at a busy intersection between Durham and Chapel Hill.
Many viewers submitted photos of fallen trees or toppled Christmas decorations. Trees were more prone to fall after a rainy Thursday that made the soil saturated.
This media cannot be viewed right now.
WRAL Nights of Lights, the drive-through holiday lights experience at Raleigh’s Dorothea Dix Park, was canceled on Friday night, Dec. 23, due to wind damage along the route and the forecast for high winds and bitter cold. The Chinese Lantern Festival in Cary was also closed.
Temperatures are expected to dip into the teens Friday night, and wind chills could drop ‘feels like’ temperatures down into the single digits on Saturday morning.
Star Of Palme d’Or Winner ‘Triangle Of Sadness’ – Deadline
Charlbi Dean, the South African model and actor who stars in the Palme d’Or-winning Triangle of Sadness and recurred on the CW’s Black Lightning, died Monday in New York City of an unexpected sudden illness. She was 32.
Deadline has confirmed her passing.

In the film, Dean plays model Yaya, one of the guests invited aboard a superyacht that becomes the setting for chaotic developments.
Dean signed with UTA last January and was also repped by Silver Lining Entertainment.
Born on February 5, 1990 in Cape Town, Dean got her start in the 2010 South African boarding-school comedy Spud, starring John Cleese and Troye Sivan from writer-director Donovan Marsh. She reprised her role for the 2013 sequel and went on to appear in the 2010s films Blood in the Water, Don’t Sleep, An Interview with God and Porthole.
After guesting on a 2017 episode of CBS’ Sherlock Holmes drama Elementary, she was cast in the CW’s Black Lightning as Syonide, an orphan-turned-assassin who was trained by Tobias Whale (Marvin “Krondon” Jones III). Dean appeared in nine episodes of the series’ first two seasons, form the 2018 pilot to the first episodes of Season 2.
As a mode, she covered the South African editions of GQ and Elle in December 2008 and July 2010, respectively.
Additional information of her death and survivors was not immediately available.

Asahi Linux Celebrates First Triangle On The Apple M1 With Fully Open-Source Driver
While there has been progress with the Mesa code targeting Apple M1 to run basic tests like glmark2, that has traditionally been an effort running under macOS with its kernel driver. This week the Asahi Linux crew celebrated their first rendered triangle running with a fully open-source driver stack.
Since last year there has been early Apple M1 code in Mesa from the Asahi Linux developers with Alyssa Rosenzweig leading that graphics reverse engineering effort. Much of that early OpenGL driver work has been carried out under macOS due to the reverse-engineering work happening there with Apple not publishing any specifications or drivers from other platforms. Plus for the Gallium3D/Mesa work like getting the shader compiler working and comparing results to the macOS driver stack is useful while being able to leverage the macOS kernel driver until getting a DRM/KMS Linux driver is certainly useful.
For those using Asahi Linux today, there is just a basic frame-buffer driver and the OpenGL acceleration is just leveraging LLVMpipe. But this week with the latest experimental Linux kernel and Mesa code being worked on by Asahi developers, they have now managed to successfully render their first triangle with that fully open-source driver stack. (Update: It turns out this first triangle appears to be from their m1n1 based environment and not a proper Linux driver stack quite yet.)
First triangle ever rendered on an M1 Mac with a fully open source driver! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 https://t.co/cyLeQRpJ4x
— Asahi Linux (@AsahiLinux) June 1, 2022
Developer Asahi Lina shared the good news of the first triangle off this fully open driver.
Asahi Lina shows off the first Apple M1 rendered triangle on a fully open-source driver stack — unlike prior achievements, not relying on the existing macOS kernel driver.
It will be a while still though before you can expect to play OpenGL games on Apple M1 hardware with modern GL features and good performance, but nice progress is being made by the Asahi Linux crew and in the future hopefully a nice open-source Vulkan driver stack too in due course.
Triangle of Sadness Shocks Cannes, Gets Eight-Minute Standing Ovation
SPOILER ALERT: Minor plot points for Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness” are discussed below.
Cannes attendees waiting for David Cronenberg’s “Crimes of the Future” to give the festival a stomach-churning shock got an electrifying surprise with the world premiere of Ruben Östlund’s latest social satire, “Triangle of Sadness.” The movie earned an uproarious eight-minute standing ovation after a lively screening that found the audience at Cannes’ Palais theater shrieking in horror and delight.
“Triangle of Sadness” stars “Beach Rats” and “The Kingsman” actor Harris Dickinson as an aspiring model who gets the chance to vacation aboard a luxury yacht after his influencer girlfriend wins them a free trip. Woody Harrelson plays the yacht’s alcoholic captain. The yacht is full of pretentious and snobby guests who make up the 1%, but they all get their comeuppance courtesy of an extended 15-minute sequence in which a storm leads to an outbreak of seasickness.
This centerpiece scene earned perhaps the most rowdy reaction from the Cannes audience so far at the 2022 festival. Östlund draws out the build-up as the boat rocks and the guests are served oysters and elaborate seafood dishes. Eventually all hell breaks loose and eruptions of vomiting and pooping are shown in graphic detail. The audience at the Palais shrieked, covered their eyes and roared with laughter. Three attendees were spotted walking out of the Palais balcony amid the sequence, but everyone else in the crowd responded with approval.
“Triangle of Sadness” is full of several other moments that had the audience gasping in shock, but it’s best to leave the rest of the film unspoiled. The Cannes crowd reacted with an eight-minute standing ovation that was far louder than the ovations “Top Gun: Maverick” and other films earned so far at the festival.
“What a wonderful screening,” Ostlund said when handed a microphone, his comment almost drowned out by the applause. “What an ensemble we had. Thank you so much!”
In addition to the audience reaction, Variety‘s Peter Debruge gave “Triangle of Sadness” a strong review, writing, “There’s a meticulous precision to the way he constructs, blocks and executes scenes — a kind of agonizing unease, amplified by awkward silences or an unwelcome fly buzzing between characters struggling to communicate.”
Östlund was last at Cannes with “The Square” in 2017, which won the Palme d’Or. While there are many films left in competition to screen, the reaction to “Triangle of Sadness” hints that it could be a contender for one of the Cannes prizes.
“Triangle of Sadness” delivered Cannes a dose of shock and awe. Your move, Cronenberg.

Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Triangle Strategy
You’ve seen the first review for Triangle Strategy by Famitsu, and also our own review for the game, and now here’s a look at the general summary of the game here in the west.
Of course, if you haven’t caught our own review yet – we gave the game an “excellent” nine out of ten stars and said it was a total tactical triumph. Here’s part of our conclusion:
“Triangle Strategy is an absolute triumph for Artdink and Square Enix, a fantastic mix of satisfyingly strategic battles, an excellent choice-driven campaign narrative and top-notch world-building, all of which come together to form one of the finest tactical RPGs we’ve played in a very long time.”
So, what did other critics think of it – VGC said it was “enormous but enjoyable”, awarding it 4 out of 5 stars:
“Triangle Strategy is an enormous tactical RPG with a solid turn-based battle system. Its epic plot and lengthy dialogue may be a bit overbearing, but anyone willing to take on an extremely detailed story will have a wealth to do here.”
Australian Nintendo website Vooks.net also gave it a 4 out of 5-star rating:
“Triangle Strategy is an excellent strategy game with a heavy focus on a very good, very malleable story. Characters are well-written and very likeable, the story goes to some absolutely fascinating places, and the game’s strategy combat is best-in-class amongst its peers. Unfortunately, inconsistent visuals and a gameplay/story balance skewed far too heavily on the story side hold it back at times — but looking past that is easy when the rest of it is so good.”
Our friends over at Eurogamer thought it was enjoyable, even though they did think it was a bit of a slow burn:
“Triangle Strategy is a dramatic, often engrossing tale of medieval conflict – and one that can sit proudly next to the games that inspired it.”
GamesRader+ was a little bit more critical but still gave it a final score of 3.5 out of 5:
“Triangle Strategy is a great strategic battler, meshed with devilish politicking and weighty decisions. It’s just a shame the cast of characters never gets a chance to shine just as bright.”
And one more – Comicbook was consistent with other scores, awarding it 4 out of 5. Here’s what it had to say:
“Triangle Strategy is a very solid tactical game that rewards smart decisions. The conviction system that drives the story reminds me of the older Ultima games, and I appreciate that positioning is as important as a character’s abilities during combat. While Triangle Strategy suffers from some of the same issues as Octopath Traveler in terms of its slow pace, the game is still a worthy successor to the likes of Final Fantasy Tactics. This is a game that you’ll want to pour hours into, even if some of those hours are eaten up by cutscenes and monologues.”
Triangle Strategy is out today on the Nintendo Switch. Tell us in our poll and down in the comments if you’ll be adding it to your own collection.
Two galaxies crashing together form unusual space triangle
The head-on collision between the two galaxies fueled a star-forming frenzy, creating “the oddball triangle of newly minted stars,” according to a NASA news release.
The dueling pair of galaxies is collectively called Arp 143. The one at the center of the stellar triangle is a galaxy known as NGC 2445, awash in star birth-triggering gases, and its less flashy counterpart is NGC 2444.
NASA suggested that the galaxies passed through each other, igniting a firestorm of stars bursting into life in the NGC 2445 galaxy.
“Simulations show that head-on collisions between two galaxies is one way of making rings of new stars,” said astronomer Julianne Dalcanton of the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Astrophysics in New York City and the University of Washington in Seattle, in the news release.
“Rings of star formation are not uncommon. However, what’s weird about this system is that it’s a triangle of star formation. Part of the reason for that shape is that these galaxies are still so close to each other and NGC 2444 is still holding on to the other galaxy gravitationally.”
The pair of galaxies are waging a tug-of-war, which the NGC 2444 galaxy that’s not surrounded by the star triangle appears to be winning, NASA said.
“NGC 2444 may also have an invisible hot halo of gas that could help to pull NGC 2445’s gas away from its nucleus. So they’re not completely free of each other yet, and their unusual interaction is distorting the ring into this triangle,” Dalcanton said.
NGC 2444 is also responsible for pulling strands of gas from its partner, attracting young, blue stars that appear to form a bridge between the two galaxies.
Although most of the action is happening in NGC 2445, the other galaxy in the interacting pair has been stretched into an odd shape. This galaxy contains old stars and no new star formation.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a collaboration between NASA and the European Space Agency.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures a SPACE TRIANGLE of star formation
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a ‘space triangle’ where two galaxies are colliding, leading to a tsunami of star birth.
The duo are collectively known as Arp 143, made up of the glittery, distorted star-forming galaxy NGC 2445, and the less flashy NGC 24444.
NGC 2445 has been distorted, to appear triangular, with a flurry of bright lights as stars are formed at a rapid rate from material shaken up by the collision.
US-based astronomers, from the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Astrophysics in New York and the University of Washington in Seattle, have been analyzing the images captured by the 32-year-old observatory in low Earth orbit.
They explained that the galaxies passed through each other, igniting the uniquely shaped star-formation firestorm, where thousands of stars are bursting to life.
The galaxy is awash in starbirth because it is rich in gas, the fuel that makes stars, but has yet to escape the gravitational pull of partner NGC 2444, causing them to wage a cosmic tug-of-war, which NGC 2444 appears to be winning.

The dancing galaxies were found in a catalog compiled by astronomer Halton Arp in 1966, made up of 338 oddball interacting galaxies.
He thought these peculiar galaxies were excellent laboratories to study the physical processes that distort normal-looking elliptical and spiral galaxies.
He was one of the first to suggest galactic encounters could form stars in bursts.
One such Arp galaxy that is exploding with new stars is Arp 143, captured in these new images from the Hubble Space Telescope.
‘Simulations show that head-on collisions between two galaxies is one way of making rings of new stars,’ said lead astronomer Julianne Dalcanton.
‘Therefore, rings of star formation are not uncommon. However, what’s weird about this system is that it’s a triangle of star formation.
‘Part of the reason for that shape is that these galaxies are still so close to each other and NGC 2444 is still holding on to the other galaxy gravitationally.
‘NGC 2444 may also have an invisible, hot halo of gas that could help to pull NGC 2445’s gas away from its nucleus. So, they’re not completely free of each other yet and their unusual interaction is distorting the ring into this triangle.’

The dimmer of the two galaxies is also responsible for pulling ‘taffy-like strands of gas’ from its partner, stoking the streamers of young, blue stars that appear to form a bridge between the two galaxies.
These streamers are among the first in what appears to be a wave of star formation that started on NGC 2445’s outskirts and continued inward as the two collided.
The team behind the study estimate that the streamers were born between 50 and 100 million years ago, and are being left behind, in the triangle area, as NGC 2445 continues to pull slowly away from NGC 2444.
Stars no older than one million to two million years are forming closer to the center of NGC 2445, according to the team.
Hubble is so sharp that it is able to resolve some individual stars within the image, although most of the brilliant blue clumps are groupings of stars. The pink blobs are giant, young star clusters still enshrouded in dust and gas.
Although most of the action is happening in NGC 2445, it doesn’t mean the other half of the interacting pair has escaped unscathed. The gravitational tussle has stretched NGC 2444 into an odd shape.
The galaxy contains old stars and no new starbirth because it lost its gas long ago, well before this galactic encounter.
‘This is a nearby example of the kinds of interactions that happened long ago. It’s a fantastic sandbox to understand star formation and interacting galaxies,’ said Elena Sabbi of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland.
NASAs Hubble Space Telescope is still working and has made more than 1.5 million observations since its mission began in 1990
The Hubble telescope was launched on April 24, 1990, via the space shuttle Discovery from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
It is named after famed astronomer Edwin Hubble who was born in Missouri in 1889.
He is arguably most famous for discovering that the universe is expanding and the rate at which is does so – now coined the Hubble constant.

Hubble has made more than 1.5 million observations since its mission began in 1990 and helped publish some 18,000 scientific papers.
It circles the Earth at a speed of about 17,000mph (27,300kph) in low Earth orbit at about 340 miles in altitude.
Hubble has the pointing accuracy of .007 arc seconds, which is like being able to shine a laser beam focused on Franklin D. Roosevelt’s head on a dime roughly 200 miles (320km) away.
The Hubble telescope is named after Edwin Hubble who was responsible for coming up with the Hubble constant and is one of the greatest astronomers of all-time
Hubble’s primary mirror is 2.4 meters (7 feet, 10.5 inches) across and in total is 13.3 meters (43.5 feet) long – the length of a large school bus.
Hubble’s launch and deployment in April 1990 marked the most significant advance in astronomy since Galileo’s telescope.
Thanks to five servicing missions and more than 25 years of operation, our view of the universe and our place within it has never been the same.
