Escuchó un estruendo que hizo temblar la tierra y, desde la ventana de su baño, “todo lo que vio fueron las llamas”.Pensó en la estación de servicio cercana, sus bombas de gasolina, sus tanques de diesel y propano.“Me mantuve bajo control, les dije a mis hijos: ‘Está bien, muchachos, tenemos que irnos’”, dice Bable. “… Lo único que sabía era que tenía que llevar a mis hijos a un lugar seguro. Toma solo las cosas necesarias y sal de ahí.Su voz se entrecorta, las lágrimas brotan de sus ojos cansados, mientras describe el costo físico y emocional que siguió al desastre del 3 de febrero y la subsiguiente quema química: ocho días en un hotel y un regreso inquieto a casa; ronquera, congestión, náuseas y erupciones con picazón; visitas al médico no conclu...

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Min Woo Lee was tied for the lead three holes into the final round of The Players Championship and relishing in the role of underdog against Scottie Scheffler.One hole later, he was three shots behind. At one point, he fell 10 behind. Lee wound up with a 76 while playing in the final group, though he was able to take away more consolation than just the $736,607 prize for tying for sixth.“It could have been a lot worse,” Lee said. “That’s for sure.”The 24-year-old Lee effectively threw away his chances with a triple bogey on the fourth hole when he chipped out of rough safely to the fairway, only for his wedge to spin off the green into the water. On the par-5 11th hole, his shot out of the trees clipped a branch, and his next shot didn’t make it out of the pine straw. Once he got back to green grass, he couldn’t reach the green, leading to double bogey.“It’s one of those things where it’s Sunday and you just make a couple bad decision...
