warn Flood Warning
Effective 8 min ago Princeton, WI (Green Lake County) US
There are no serious national events at this time.
Active US-Iran military confrontation with explicit war threats and collapsed diplomacy poses substantial near-term escalation risk to global stability. Domestic weather threats remain manageable with regional impacts, and volcanic-seismic activity is concentrated in monitored tectonically active zones with no global catastrophic implications indicated.
