Deadline nearing for Republic Services strike that could impact waste collection across Mass. A huge tornado was seen twisting over a field south of Gary, South Dakota, on June 28, as severe storms swept the area. The twister was on the ground for over 30 minutes and clipped at least one house, according to a meteorologist.

As garbage continues to accumulate across roughly two dozen Bay Area cities impacted by a nationwide Teamsters strike, Republic Services has begun deploying "substitute drivers" in a limited effort to restore trash collection services.
