Family displaced, Bluffdale home collapses in early morning fire
The call for the fire near 3300 West and Tucannin Cove came in around 3:30 a.m., according to the Bluffdale Fire Department. Nearby residents reported hearing 'possible explosions' coming from the garage.
By the time firefighters arrived on scene, the garage had become fully engulfed in flames, and the fire extended into the attic and living space of the home.

Fire crews started on the offensive, battling the fire from the inside. However, about 25 minutes into the firefight, the home's roof collapsed, forcing firefighters outside on a defensive stance. Bluffdale Fire said its crews, along with crews from Unified Fire, were able to get the flames under control shortly after.
Fortunately, there were no injuries in the fire, according to Bluffdale Fire. The family was able to self-evacuate from the home safely and are currently working with Red Cross to find temporary housing.
Bluffdale Fire told ABC4 it is currently unclear what started the fire, and an investigation is underway. It is also unclear if the home is considered to be a total loss as of Monday morning.

Severe weather, flash flood threat impact eastern half of US
Around 11 million Americans are under flood alerts Saturday evening as a "ring of fire" weather pattern continues to impact the eastern two-thirds of the country through the weekend. A flash flood emergency was issued near the Washington, D.C., area, including suburban Maryland, such as Chevy Chase and Silver Spring until 9 p.m. ET. The National Weather Service called it a "particularly dangerous situation" and said flash flooding was already occurring. Between 3 to 5 inches of rain has already fallen, but additional rainfall amounts between 1 to 2 inches are possible. Meanwhile, a flood watch was issued for Washington, D.C., until 10 p.m. ET. Overall, locally heavy downpours associated with showers and thunderstorms will continue to raise concerns in regard to flash flooding. Plenty of atmospheric moisture and already saturated grounds will only increase the likelihood of flooding and will exacerbate flooding that is ongoing. Flood watches also remain in effect across portions of Iowa, western Illinois, and northeastern Missouri through Sunday, and for portions of Virginia, and northeastern North Carolina through Saturday night. Areas under a flood watch could see between 2 to 4 inches of rain. A number of Flash Flood Warnings are also in effect across portions of southern Illinois, southern Indiana and northern Kentucky, where heavy rain from thunderstorms moved through. Much of the heavy rainfall and flooding will be localized -- not everywhere will be impacted. However, the potential for heavy rainfall stretches across a good portion of the eastern U.S., which remains under a slight risk for excessive rainfall through tonight. Between 1 to 3 inches are possible depending on where storms track, but locally higher amounts are possible in some spots. Portions of western and central Kentucky, southern Indiana and southeastern Illinois have been elevated to a moderate risk -- level 3 of 4 -- for excessive rainfall through Saturday evening. Rainfall totals between 3 to 5 inches are possible, with rainfall rates potentially reaching 2 to 3 inches per hour. Elsewhere, high pressure centered over the Southeast will keep dangerously hot and humid conditions in that region, but strong to severe storms along the perimeter of the high will remain possible across portions of the Plains, Midwest and even across portions of the East Coast. Severe thunderstorm watches remain in effect for portions of southern Maryland, northeastern North Carolina and Virginia until 10 p.m. ET Saturday. The primary threats include damaging winds, with gusts up to 65 mph possible, and isolated large hail up to an inch in diameter. To the west, portions of Nebraska remain under a tornado watch until 11 p.m. CT Saturday. A severe thunderstorm watch is also in effect for portions of eastern Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and far northeastern Wyoming until 12 a.m. MT. Damaging winds, with gusts up to 70 mph are possible, along with the potential for very large hail measuring as much as 2.5 inches in diameter. Over 13 million across 13 states are under a slight risk -- level 2 of 5 -- for severe weather through the night. Damaging winds and the potential for flash flooding remains a threat for all areas, but powerful storms that develop over parts of the Plains and Midwest could generate large to very large hail and even a few tornadoes. While parts of the Dakotas are under a slight risk for severe weather on Sunday, parts of Northeast could also encounter strong to severe storms as well. This includes big cities like New York City, Boston and Albany -- which are all under a slight risk, mainly for damaging winds and the potential for hail.

War Preparation Advice That's Eerily Familiar
On the always loaded-with-inquiries subreddt r/NoStupidQuestions, Reddit user u/smilingspectre37 asked what they are supposed to do if a war actually starts. Here's what people had to say: "As someone who lived through the last 20-year war we were in [in the US], nothing really changes for us. For many of us, it will be far away and distant. We will complain about gas prices going up, or inflation skyrocketing, but until our friends and family come home under a flag, it won't feel real enough to care about." "If you're in America, keep going about your day. If you're in Jordan, get out quick." "I was running a Blockbuster Video on 9/11. I live on the West Coast, so everything had already happened by 10 a.m. Pacific time. I wasn't sure if the world was going to end or not. Called my district manager and asked, 'What are we doing?' He said, 'Open the store. Business as usual. So, that's probably your answer. Business as usual." "Imagine being one of the people in a city that actually has missiles being fired at it. American civilians have no point of reference for what it's like to actually live in a war zone. I say that as an American citizen with no point of reference at all. With that said, I'm still planning to have a lazy Sunday and go to work on Monday and get pissed off at the traffic." "Gas will go up, and it will be blamed on Biden." "You hide under a wooden desk in your classroom." "You do realize that we were at war for 20 years after 9/11. You grew up in a country at war, depending on your age." "Unless you're in the military, there is nothing for you to do but to keep living your normal routine. Unless there's an immediate threat to your area or an order to evacuate, life must go on. Everyone has to do their part to keep society running so that the soldiers have something to come home to." "You fire up Call of Duty and defend Burger Town." "I guess it really depends on where you live. I heard Israel is closing schools and businesses. I imagine tomorrow will be normal for most US citizens. I think COVID taught us that we don't really know how we'll handle a massive disruption and will figure it out along the way." "If you're in a NATO country, do the same thing you did during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars." "The number of people who have no idea that the mainland US is pretty much unreachable by any country except Russia and maybe China is really surprising." "America's surrounded by two oceans, and there will never be boots on the ground here. Just go on about your day, the soldiers will handle everything. You won't even know a war is happening if you don't watch the news." "Iran won't attack Americans directly, but you may suffer more 9/11 type strikes. And you have alienated all of your allies who helped you last time. Good luck." "Completely depends how bad things get." "On September 12, 2001, I went to school and then to work." "I'm from Ukraine. When the war started, my university didn't even stop lectures at first. And my uncle, with his girlfriend, was still working for their American company remotely (they had given them fewer working hours because of air alarms). Later, when attacks became more intensive, everyone's life went on hold for a certain period. However, when the situation in non-destroyed and occupied regions became more stable, everything returned to its working rhythm, albeit under the constant threat of bombs, drones, and repetitive air alarms. And this was the moment when I realized how humans survived many wars — they just never gave up. Now I'm not in my home country, but my friends and some relatives still are, and they got used to this sick rhythm of life." "What do you mean by 'if?' When a sovereign nation is being blown up by another, it's a war, no matter which more palatable words politicians are slinging." "Depends. Let's say it's a major war in the Middle East with Iran. You're American? You get to complain about prices going up. You're European? You experience very high inflation and a strain on the welfare system due to a huge influx of refugees. You're Iranian? You get bombed." "Love that Americans are finally thinking about what it might be like to live in an active warzone. Hate that y'all never considered that while you spent the last century causing it in other countries." "If you have the means to avoid dense areas, then yes, you would do so. If war were to occur in my country, my family would likely relocate to my sister's farm. While we live on the outskirts of our major city, we are close enough to a regional small plane airport, which would likely be used for supply runs. Hopefully, we'll have enough time to build another house on the land before we move, but we have access to a caravan." "First time?" "Whatever you do, please don't go out and buy all the toilet paper. That is so annoying." "Live your life and stay off of social media as much as possible." "People in Kyiv, Ukraine are still going to work. Do with that information what you will." Do you have any advice or general comments on what to do if your country is at war? Comment below.
