Baldwin County linemen ‘Light Up Navajo' with something they have never had before: electricity

BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. (WKRG) — We take it for granted, but a simple flip of a switch is changing lives — not only for the Navajo people in Chinle, Arizona, but in the lives of those responsible for making it happen right here at home. UPDATE: Federal Bureau of Prisons responds to Todd Chrisley's allegations about FPC Pensacola 'Smiles from ear to ear — happiness. They knew the day was coming, but it was still not the same as the moment that it happens,' Riviera Utilities lineman Bryan Cook said, describing the moment the lights came on for one family for the first time. Richard Sanspree is a lineman with Riveria Utilities and heard about an initiative called 'Light Up Navajo,' where utilities and co-ops volunteer their time to string line, put up poles, and connect the Navajo Nation with something many have never had, electricity. 'I just couldn't believe that there were people in the United States with no power,' Cook said. 'That just hit me hard, and it still hits me hard. I got chills now.' 'Here, everybody would be freaking out. The apocalypse,' said lineman Hunter Wilson. 'But there, it's just normal life. They don't think anything of it.' For 10 days, nine Riviera linemen traveled to and worked in the Arizona desert, 12 to 14 hours a day. 'It's a different environment,' Cook said. 'And at the end of the day, it's helping people because none of us knew that nobody had power.' 'They were just as excited as we were to build it to see it built,' veteran lineman Paul Shoenight said. It was hard work. The equipment used to dig through rock is different, and the terrain is unlike anything they had ever encountered. 'It is a wide open area and the homes are so far out from town that it takes an hour or so to get to one residence,' Shoenight said. Light Up Navajo began in 2019 with 15 thousand families living without electricity. Now, almost five thousand have power, but there is still a lot of work left to do, according to Shoenight. 'The Navajo Nation people are the nicest, humble people I have ever met in my life, and I would love to go back,' he said. By the end of the trip, nine families had electricity for the first time. 'It was actually emotional and hard,' Sanspree said. 'I wish we could have stayed another week.' 'The first thing they said, 'We are going to buy an a/c and a refrigerator,'' Wilson laughed. While the Riviera crew was able to 'light up' at least part of the Navajo Nation, what they got in return will stay with them forever. 'It was an experience of a lifetime,' Shoenight said. 'It was more than I thought it was.' UPDATE: 75-year-old man shot, killed by MPD after pointing gun at officers Making a difference just by flipping a switch. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Something brewing in the Caribbean? Meteorologists say it's social media hype

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — You may have seen it on social media: eye-catching graphics of GFS model projections featuring a monster hurricane headed straight for the Gulf coast. Some accounts posted about this hypothetical storm weeks in advance, stoking anxiety in a hurricane-weary region of the country. What to expect during the 2025 hurricane season | Tracking the Tropics On Tuesday's edition of Tracking the Tropics, our team of meteorologists addressed those concerns and issued a warning to social media users who encounter these long-range projections online: Don't buy into the hype. 'Especially coming off of such a terrible season for Florida, where so many folks are going to be recovering for the next couple of years, there's just a heightened sense of anxiety. Storm anxiety is a real thing,' WKRG Chief Meteorologist Ed Bloodsworth said. 'Nerves are just heightened now. Folks are trying to rebuild their lives, get back to what will be their new normal. The last thing you want to do is scare them with nonsense. That's why you want to trust your local meteorologists.' Long-range models, like the GFS, often spin up phantom storms that don't come to fruition. These projections have low confidence more than a few days out. 'No, we're not going to see a Category 4 hurricane in 10 days in the Gulf. That's just not going to happen,' Max Defender 8 Meteorologist Rebecca Barry said. 'The confidence is so low. It's not even worth worrying about at this point.' The social media graphics and video thumbnails may look official, but our team of meteorologists says you should listen to the experts – not influencers who rely on clicks and follows. 'I get paid whether I post anything on Facebook or not. I get paid to do my job as a meteorologist,' Barry said. 'There are a lot of people on social media that are getting paid through social media, so if they don't post something that gets a lot of likes, shares and interactions, they don't get paid that day. That leads them to make different decisions than I would on social media. Some of them I would consider not the best decisions.' Barry's advice? Look at everything on social media with a critical eye. 'I just want people to think about who they follow on social media. Think before you share one of those posts,' Barry said. 'What are the motives? If the confidence is that low, it doesn't deserve any space in your brain or in your day.'Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
