Biden Declares Emergency For California After Winter Storms Kill 12 In 10 Days
LAGOS JANUARY 9TH (NEWSRANGERS)-U.S. President Joe Biden approved an emergency declaration for California after a week of storms killed at least 12 people in the past 10 days and knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses in the state.
The emergency declaration authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to coordinate disaster relief efforts and mobilize emergency resources, the White House said in a statement.
In the last week, severe weather spawned violent wind gusts that toppled trucks, flooded the streets of small towns along northern California’s coast and churned up a storm surge that destroyed a pier in Santa Cruz.
Finally, early in the fourth quarter, Staley removed starters like quarterback Justin Herbert.
Again, here were the stakes for the Chargers: If they won, they were the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs. If they lost, they were the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoffs.
The New York Giants sat key players on Sunday, with the No. 6 seed in the NFC locked up. Other teams have done it through the years. Staley made it sound too difficult to pull off.
It made no sense to play key starters but the Chargers did it anyway. Staley came to the Chargers last season with the reputation of being a forward thinker, and was ridiculed for some of his extremely aggressive fourth-down decisions. Staley seemed indecisive on everything this season, though he navigated the injuries to get the Chargers to the playoffs, where they’ll visit the Jacksonville Jaguars next weekend.
His line of thinking Sunday was really hard to figure out. A pseudo bye week for stars, especially ones who have been dealing with injuries, is a massive advantage for a team. Staley punted that away, for some unknown reason.
