Similar to the historic winter storm that hit Texas in 2021, a polar vortex is making its presence known.

A polar vortex is about to impact the United States and deliver what the National Weather Service has described as “the coldest air of the season to date.”

An investigation is underway after a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Wednesday, Jan. 1, leaving one person dead and seven others injured, according to local authorities.

The NOPD responded to a fatal traffic crash that occurred during the early hours today (January 1, 2024) at the intersection of Bourbon and Canal streets that has resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, including the suspected pereptrator.

It is officially 2025 and ‘Life Kit’ is kicking the year off with a series to help people complete Dry January successfully. And, a look ahead for this year from pop culture to politics.

Jimmy Cothran, a New Orleans resident who was in a nearby nightclub at the time of the incident, spoke with NBC News about the horrors he and others witnessed. Sharing that he and friends noticed “a lot of commotion” at the end of Bourbon Street, Cothran said he ducked into the nightclub going up onto a balcony to see what had happened.

Ten people were killed and 30 injured after a vehicle drove into a crowd on New Orleans’ Canal and Bourbon Street on Wednesday, according to NOLA Ready, the city’s emergency preparedness agency.
