WEST BABYLON, N.Y. (WABC) --

Police are investigating after a teen was killed when a car crashed into a home on Long Island Sunday.

According to the Suffolk County Police Department, Aramis Broadus was driving a 2010 Nissan Maxima northbound on Little East Neck Road in West Babylon Sunday around 9 p.m. He lost control of the vehicle and hit a telephone pole and house on Little East Neck Road.

Broadus and the three passengers in the vehicle, Chyna Adams, 18, of Deer Park, and Robert Jones, 20, of Deer Park, and Kenya Jimenez, 17, of Deer Park, were taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip.

Jimenez died at the hospital. Adams and Jones are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Broadus, 19, of Wheatley Heights, was treated at the hospital for minor injuries and released.

The residence was condemned due to the extensive damage to the structure. There are no reports of injuries of anyone inside the home.

Anyone with information about this crash is asked to call 631-854-8152. It appears that speeding caused the crash, unless there was a medical condition.  We suspect that drugs or alcohol may also be involved here.  Monkey is, monkey does.

An underground electrical short in a cable caused the explosion and fire at manholes in Honolulu, Hawaii

HONOLULU, HAWAII

An underground electrical fire shut down a good portion of downtown Sunday morning.

The Honolulu Fire Department, Honolulu Police Department, and HECO crews initially responded to reports of thick black smoke streaming out of two manholes.

An hour later into the incident, witnesses on the street were stunned by an explosion when a plume of fire quickly shot out through a manhole cover on the corner of Bishop and Hotel streets.

“It was very loud. It caught us all off guard,” said HPD Sergeant Maya Brouwer.

“And then BOOM!,” said witness Louise Rosa. “It was getting blacker and blacker and blacker. Then all the cops came and they told us to move to the side.”

Luckily, no one got hurt.

“We’ve shut down the entire block, buses were diverted, as well as pedestrians, for safety,” said Brouwer.

The underground electrical fire shut downtown from Fort Street Mall to Richards Street starting at 10 a.m. Most of the surrounding businesses were closed.

HECO said 915 customers lost power because of the explosion.

A spokeswoman said this was a circuit-related fire.

Crews were unable to go underground into the manhole to investigate until 3:15 p.m. because the smoke, fumes, heat and confined space made for a dangerous situation.

They discovered that an electrical short in a cable caused the fire.

Crews re-routed power to a majority of customers by 4:30 p.m. and are continuing to work on finishing repairs.

The Coast Guard responded to more than 10 reports of persons in the water and more than 20 vessels reported dragging anchor or unmanned and adrift in various waterways in Oregon and Washington

Coast Guard responds to more than 30 cases during Pacific Northwest storm

SEATTLE — The Coast Guard responded to more than 10 reports of persons in the water and more than 20 vessels reported dragging anchor or unmanned and adrift in various waterways in Oregon and Washington Saturday.

The Coast Guard reminds boaters to use caution while severe weather causes heavy seas and high winds throughout the Pacific Northwest, this weekend.

Persons in the water were reported in Seattle, Tacoma, Bainbridge and Camano Islands, Anacortes, Poulsbo, Lopez Island and Tillamook, Oregon. All persons in the water were safely recovered either by the Coast Guard, local agencies or good Samaritans with no reports of injuries. Boaters and fishermen aboard multiple vessels also needed to be escorted across various harbor entrances.

“Today was a very busy day, and we are fully mission capable and remaining vigilant as this storm passes through the area,” said John Howk, command duty officer, Coast Guard 13th District. “We ask everyone to know their limits and capabilities and to use their best judgement when it comes to being on or near the water.”

The Coast Guard is encouraging all boaters to make sure their boats are secure at the pier or docks by applying multiple lines connecting the boats to their mooring station. When an unmanned vessel is found adrift, it will begin a search for a possible person in the water. Boat owners are encouraged to have their name a contact information on their boat. With this information, responders can contact the boat owner to quickly ensure their safety.

Although the storm is subsiding, remnants of the storm will remain in the area through the weekend. The entrance to the Quillayute River has been closed by the captain of the port and all other river bars have restrictions. Currently most river entrances have 10 to 14-foot breaking swells. Wind gusts and sustained wind speeds are reaching between 20 and 40 miles per hour along the Oregon coast.

There are gale warnings and small craft advisories stretching down the Pacific Northwest coastline. Boaters and other water enthusiasts are always encouraged to be aware of current and forecasted weather and sea conditions.

Coast Guard urges caution for hazardous beach conditions

August 30th, 2015 

SAN FRANCISCO — The Coast Guard is urging boaters and beachgoers to exercise caution in and around the waters along the Northern and Central California coast due to forecasted strong swells Sunday morning through Sunday evening.

Exceptionally strong rip currents and large shore breaks are anticipated to impact all west and northwest-facing beaches from Sonoma County to Monterey County. Strong rip currents are typically more frequent and stronger near jetties, inlets and piers. Swimmers are encouraged to swim near a lifeguard, and if caught in a rip current, to swim parallel to the coast to escape the current before swimming for shore. Beachgoers are advised to remain aware of the current ocean and weather conditions, stay well away from the edge of the water and off of exposed rocks and jetties.

“We encourage all boaters and beachgoers to remain especially cautious on and near the water today,” said Lt. Wes Geyer, command duty officer at Coast Guard Sector San Francisco. “We stand ready to respond if boaters and beachgoers find themselves in distress.”

The Coast Guard offers the following safety tips on the water:

* Stay Informed – Be aware of weather conditions and monitor the progress and strength of storms through local television, radio and internet. Be aware that weather conditions can change quickly. Check the current and expected weather and water conditions before heading out.

*When recreating on the water, whether boating or kayaking, paddle boarding, or kite and wind surfing, always have a working VHF-FM radio. Mobile phones may not be reliable on the water, and the Coast Guard has the ability to determine your general location when you call with a VHF-FM marine-band radio, which can effect a quick response when mariners are in distress.

*Wear life jackets while on the water. In 2013, 84 percent of boating-related drowning victims were not wearing life jackets.

*File a float plan http://ift.tt/1NQqb5D with friends, family members or local marinas before heading out. A float plan should include contact information, the number of passengers, the vessel’s destination and expected time of return.

*Do not boat under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, because it can impair your judgment, vision, balance and coordination. Boat motion, vibration, engine noise, sun, wind and spray can accelerate impairment.

*Keep children informed of water safety. The Coast Guard encourages educating children on water safety. For more information on boating safety for kids, visit http://ift.tt/1jnhoL2.

* Divers should evaluate their own physical condition as well as that of their equipment, never dive alone, and be willing to cancel their diving plans and choose another activity if ocean conditions are too rough.

*Dog owners are also reminded to protect their pets from rough waves and not to attempt to rescue their dog from a surf zone. It is important to remember to keep calm and allow the dogs to swim out on their own.
