Today, the second and last palindrome day of the year (2/22), and there are some serious weather events happening:
Firstly, the Midwest is in for a beating--of snow! Over 15 inches are expected in areas of Minnesota, and over 65 million people are under winter weather alerts. Over 500 flights have been canceled, and the storm's impacts will be felt across the entire country. The storm is affecting states from California to Maine, but the Upper Midwest are the ones who will be most battered.
Also, Cyclone Freddy has been smashing Madagascar as a Category 1 hurricane, destroying towns and killing four. However, it is expected to move out of the area in the coming days and then hit Mozambique.
On another note, the Israel-Palestine conflict has elevated again, with Israel killing eleven people in an army raid on the West Bank. Hundreds of others are still injured after Israel attacked the Palestinians, unprovoked.
