  On Sunday, the Brazilian presidential election
• 0:10
  was settled in favor of incumbent Luiz Inácio
• 0:13
  Lula da Silva. Da Silva positions himself politically
• 0:16
  left of center and is in command of South America's
• 0:19
  largest economy. Now 80 years old, this is suspected
• 0:23
  to be the veteran's last election. This also
• 0:26
  marks his fourth non -consecutive presidential
• 0:27
  term. Santa Cruz Local reports that the area's
• 0:32
  homeless shelters are preparing for a predicted
• 0:34
  super El Nino weather pattern that will arrive
• 0:37
  in the upcoming months. Expecting heavy rain
• 0:40
  and rising sea levels, new rules are being enacted
• 0:43
  regarding the opening of the shelters for unhoused
• 0:45
  residents. In past years, the shelters opened
• 0:48
  when temperatures dropped below 39 degrees for
• 0:51
  two consecutive nights. This year, a new threshold
• 0:54
  that combines cold and wet conditions could mean
• 0:57
  that the shelters open more frequently. If the
• 1:00
  overnight temperature is less than 41 degrees
• 1:02
  and there is at least an 80 % chance of rain
• 1:04
  for more than one night, the shelters will reopen.

  According to Oregon Public Broadcasting, residents
• 1:13
  and businesses within a mile of the Newport Bayfront
• 1:15
  were asked to evacuate Sunday after a large fire
• 1:18
  and ammonia leak at one of the Pacific Seafoods
• 1:21
  plants threatened the commercial and tourist
• 1:23
  -oriented area along Akina Bay. As many as 40
• 1:27
  firefighters and a hazardous material response
• 1:29
  team were on site at the bayfront. No injuries
• 1:33
  were reported, though it was noted that smoke
• 1:35
  from the Pacific Seafoods building likely contained
• 1:38
  ammonia. This has been Pirate Cat Radio News,
