• Buffalo Residents Urged to Prepare for the Worst As Flooding is Likely Imminent

    It has been a week of unsettling drama for residents of Buffalo and other hard-hit areas of western New York who are contending with up to seven feet of snow on the ground around them. The only slight saving grace is that this area is accustomed to huge amounts of lake effect snow so they are decently equipped to handle the clean up. Adding to the pressure is the fact that the temperatures are expected to climb into the mid-40's today, meaning that the snow is melting almost as quickly as it fell and that can mean major flooding.
  • Juan Lizama, Juan Lopez Released from Hospital after Dangling Off 1 WTC Yesterday Afternoon as Scaffolding Collapsed

    For only about a week has 1 World Trade Center been officially open for business, and already a heart-stopping crisis has been averted. It takes a special kind of bravery to choose to wash the windows of the 104-story building, and for Juan Lizama, 41, and Juan Lopez, 33, yesterday, Nov. 12 was business as usual. At least, until 12:42 p.m., when the slack in their scaffolding became uneven and collapsed, leaving them dangling. Within minutes the two men found themselves trapped in almost a completely vertical position between the 68th and 69th floors. Thankfully, this story had a happy ending: Both men have been released from the hospital and are safely at home this morning.
