The father of a 10-year-old rescued from pounding surf off the California coast in a dramatic scene captured on video says he is beyond grateful to the teenage lifeguard who saved his son. Sumit Rai's son Nathaniel was standing in shallow water when he was pulled into the ocean Saturday by powerful swells that suddenly came ashore at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. Rai said Wednesday he heard about what happened when he spoke to his kids and his son told him he'd drowned. By the next morning, Rai had watched the video of the rescue that has since caught the attention of President Donald Trump.
A Northern California lifeguard is being hailed as a hero after saving a boy from pounding surf. The dramatic rescue at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz caught the attention of President Donald Trump. The president said Tuesday that he would invite the lifeguard and possibly the boy to the White House. A witness captured video of the rescue, showing the lifeguard rushing into the water and diving into a wave while holding the boy. Several adults tried to help but retreated due to the powerful surf. Eventually the lifeguard and a colleague brought the boy safely ashore.

MIAMI (AP) — Major Hurricane Genevieve was roaring in the Pacific Ocean far from land Monday evening at the same time that the weakening Tropi…
Hurricane Genevieve has strengthened into a major Category 4 storm southwest of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean. It's expected to stay well out to sea on a course roughly parallel to the coast. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Sunday that swells from the storm are affecting parts of Mexico’s southwestern coast and will likely reach parts of the Baja California Peninsula. Genevieve had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph. Farther west, Hurricane Fausto weakened to a Category 1 storm and is expected to be downgraded to a tropical storm. Forecasters say it could generate significant surf for parts of the Hawaiian Islands.

Tropical Storm Genevieve has strengthened into a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean southwest of Mexico. The National Hurricane Center in Miami reports it has maximum sustained winds of 90 mph, making it a Category 1 hurricane. Genevieve's center is about 500 miles south-southwest of Manzanillo, moving west-northwest. No coastal watches or warnings are in effect, but swells from the storm are affecting parts of Mexico's southwestern coast. Meanwhile, Hurricane Fausto has weakened to a Category 1 storm. It is moving toward the Hawaiian Islands and could still generate dangerous surf.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels say they fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in response to Saudi airstrikes on Yemen's strategic Red Sea city of Hodeida. The claim on Saturday marks an escalation over vital Middle East shipping routes as the United States and Iran vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz. Saudi Arabia’s civil defense said alerts sounded in its cities of Yanbu and Jizan, but it provided no further details. Iran reported no U.S. strikes overnight for the first time in nearly two weeks. U.S. Central Command hasn't commented. Threats to shipping remain a focal point due to the importance to global energy supplies.
