- Flood watch in effect through Saturday afternoon from heavy rains
Widespread rain the region Friday that will continue into Saturday leads the National Weather Service to issue a Flood Watch for portions of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. The watch is in effect from 7 p.m. Friday evening through Saturday afternoon. It includes La Crosse, Monroe, Vernon, Jackson, Buffalo, Trempealeau, and Crawford counties in Wisconsin; Houston, Winona, and Fillmore counties in Minnesota; and Allamakee, Winneshiek, and Clayton counties in Iowa. The current forecast calls for the heaviest rainfall to occur Friday evening into early Saturday morning. The highest potential, according to the weather service, is along and south of I-90. Widespread rainfall totals of 1-3 inches are likely with some areas seeing 4+ inches of rain. This means that flooding of rivers and streams is possible. Flash flooding is possible along with street flooding a possibility. They caution that the heaviest rain and highest flooding risk should happen after dark when it is more difficult to see how much water is on the road or in low-lying areas.

- The KZE Kamper Is More Like a Rocket Ship
Paul, just a quick update to the recent story “Kamping With Andy.” Since we last spoke, the KZE Kamper has taken off like a rocket ship. I’ve spent the last 13 weekends recording shows, and now the bookings are bleeding into the weeknights. It’s growing so fast that we are going to need a second vehicle. The summer shows have exponentially grown WKZE’s listener numbers and audience engagement. Just pointing out that while all the radio people sit back and complain about the decline of relevance of radio, I think we found something here that not only keeps radio relevant but can actually help it grow. The key is getting the artists excited. Once they find out you can capture the show, they tell the venue to give you the advertising. The venue loves it because it helps with the ticket sales. The fans love it because it gives them a new way to hear their favorite artists and “alternative” versions of the songs. That’s what Gen-Z wants. It’s cool and unique. Here’s where the relevance piece comes in. Unlike podcasting or streaming, FM can serve a scaled audience with no theoretical receive limitation. There’s no cost to listen. So WKZE is providing the market with a free way to engage with local music going back to radio basics. And when you throw in the street tram and marketing it becomes visible. It’s returning listeners to the dial … and the listeners are younger. We did an event last week with a band whose core audience was 18–28. They made it a “listening event” on social, which got the younger crowd to tune in. I’ve been getting emails all week “I never listened to the radio before, but now I can’t stop listening because I’m hearing all this cool new music and you’re playing all my favorite local bands.” I’ve also been shooting video at every show, which has been juicing the digital and social numbers. I’m not saying we’ve cracked the code, but we’re getting close to it. Revenue is coming in from: The artist The promoter The venue The advertiser The digital SEO And… The visual sponsors. I’ve got two company logos on the trailer right now with a third one coming in. They’re paying for signage, since the truck HAS to be next to the stage for the event. So it’s in all the… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago - What Else Is the Pentagon Hiding From Us?
More US military personnel have reportedly died during the ongoing Iran war than the Pentagon has shared publicly, the latest and most serious evidence of the Trump administration’s ongoing cover-up around disastrous military failures in that conflict. In a Washington Post report released Friday, six US officials with knowledge of internal Defense Department data on military casualties, attested that at least 22 service members have died. The Pentagon’s public database reports 14 military casualties as of Friday as a result of Operation Epic Fury, which began with the first US and Israeli strikes on Iran in February. Four more deaths are labeled in a separate category, “Overseas Operations,” despite the Defense Department previously reporting 18 deaths related to Iran. In July, the New York Times reported that one reason the Trump administration removed four service members who were killed days earlier from the casualty list—three in Jordan and one in northern Iraq—was that they died after the president declared a ceasefire in April. One official told the Post that the four additional deaths were not all directly tied to the Iran war, but included military personnel who were separately stationed in the Middle East. When a US service member’s death is formally accounted for, the military initiates an investigation to determine whether they died while performing official duties. The evaluation directly affects the amount of benefits their families receive. The listed cause of military deaths directly affects the amount of benefits that their families receive. The Trump administration also appears to be hiding the extent of damage to US military bases. Earlier this week, CBS News shared photos leaked by active service members of a destroyed Boeing aircraft in an Air Force base in Saudi Arabia. Other photos show destroyed buildings and military barracks at the base. Camp Buehring, a US staging post in Kuwait, had damaged aircraft, as well as armored vehicles, that the administration had not previously acknowledged. In addition, the Defense Department’s inspector general released a report earlier this week that the war in Iran “has resulted in strategic inventory shortfalls and revealed industrial base bottlenecks for munitions resupply.” In the first four months, the inspector general valued the cost of military operations at $33.4 billion, not accounting for costs of damaged facilities, while the Trump administration struggles to accelerate weapons production—a move that the report says has “significant lead times.” Trump’s attempts to conceal… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 days ago
