Are beach umbrellas dangerous? How to secure your umbrella on the beach
A day at the beach can quickly be ruined by an errant umbrella tumbling unpredictably across the sand and hitting someone. A recent incident in Asbury Park, New Jersey, brought this issue into the headlines. A lifeguard was impaled and hospitalized by an umbrella, which went through her shoulder, on June 25. She has been released from the hospital and is in recovery. What's happening at Delaware beaches: Running of the Bull and a lifeguard rescue It's a high-profile case of what is an avoidable injury most of the time. There are good ways to keep an umbrella from flying away and hitting and potentially severely injuring someone. Lean your umbrella into the direction of the wind. Even if you want to get some extra shade in the opposite direction, it is dangerous to angle it in a way where a wind gust can rip it out of the sand. Close your umbrella if you are leaving your spot. Unattended, open umbrellas can fly away with a wind switch. Dig it deeper than you think. If you're using a heavier umbrella made of wood or metal, it needs to be dug at least a foot under the sand. Sand is a loose and soft surface and is susceptible to collapse. The deeper the umbrella, the better. Use an umbrella anchor. These offer extra support for cheaper umbrellas especially. They operate as screws into the sand, which provides a stronger base and keeps the umbrella upright. These are easy to find wherever you get beach supplies. Put down your umbrella on very windy days. You will be plenty cool without the umbrella on a gusty day on the beach. If you really need the shade or cannot be in the sun, move to the boardwalk to find it. Catch your umbrella if it starts tumbling away. An umbrella doesn't get any slower once it gets rolling. You would rather run and catch it before it catches someone else.

Severe storm triggers hundreds of flight cancellations at busy Atlanta airport just as holiday travel cranks up
Hundreds of flights have been canceled at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport – the busiest airport in the world – after a severe storm overnight, just as a busy travel period ahead of the Fourth of July gets started. Over 450 flights into and out of Atlanta were canceled as of early Saturday afternoon, according to FlightAware. Hundreds more were delayed. Delta – which uses the Atlanta airport as its hub – is suffering the worst from cancellations, with 14% of the airline's total flights canceled, according to FlightAware. 'Severe weather overnight is causing delays and cancellations,' the airport said Saturday in a post on X, Powerful winds in Atlanta prompted the evacuation of most air traffic controllers from the control tower Friday evening, according to CNN affiliate WANF, citing the Federal Aviation Administration. A small crew stayed to handle inbound planes, reported WANF. Additionally, severe thunderstorms overnight brought quarter-inch hail to the city. More than 100 Delta aircraft require inspection before they're allowed to fly as a result, a Delta employee familiar with the situation told CNN as of late Friday evening. Delta's maintenance team was working 'quickly through the backlog,' the Delta employee said. There was also a ground stop in place Friday evening due to the severe weather, which limits inbound aircraft from taking off. The mounting delays come as millions of people prepare to travel for the Fourth of July. The AAA estimates that 72.2 million people will travel at least 50 miles or more from home during the holiday period, starting from Saturday, June 28, until Sunday, July 6, with 5.84 million travelers expected to fly to their destinations. The Atlanta airport expects to see 394,576 passengers over the holiday period, according to WANF. The Hartsfield-Jackson airport served over 100 million passengers in 2024, making it busier than London's Heathrow or the Dubai International Airport. CNN has reached out to the airport, Delta, and the FAA for more information. This is a developing story and will be updated.

South Florida facing high heat, humidity this weekend
The NEXT Weather team is tracking a hot, humid day from Fort Lauderdale to Key West. Saharan dust is helping to dry-out the atmosphere and minimize pop-up showers across southeastern Florida. Later Saturday afternoon, storms will build across the Everglades but will die out before making it to the metroplex. A few far western cities may see some small rain showers Saturday night. As we Track the Tropics, there are no concerns in Florida, but the National Hurricane Center is alerting Texans about a low pressure system over the Yucatan Peninsula on Saturday. The system will move into the southern Gulf and could develop into a Tropical Depression this weekend before moving ashore into Mexico. It's unlikely to become a named Tropical Storm. The NEXT Weather 7 Day outlook does include the risk of storms on Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week we fall back into our regular summer pattern of afternoon storms and high humidity. A sneak peak at the NEXT Weather 4th of July forecast shows a few afternoon showers and perfect weather for fireworks across the region.
