A sudden and violent windstorm on Lake Tahoe capsized a 27-foot boat Saturday, leaving six dead, two injured, and two still missing, according to authorities. The tragedy unfolded on the California side of the lake near DL Bliss State Park around 3 p.m., as 30-knot winds and waves up to eight feet battered the 191-square-mile alpine lake.
Nevada lawmakers have advanced legislation aimed at curbing microplastic pollution in Lake Tahoe by restricting the sale and distribution of large plastic water bottles. Senate Bill 324, passed by a 16–4 vote, targets containers over four liters in size and applies to all communities surrounding the popular freshwater lake.
