Atlantic storm sweeping across Britain set to bring a month's rain in 24 hours as Met Office issues weather warning
- Heavy rain set to return this evening - and 55mm could fall in some areas
- Gusts of up to 60mph expected as Storm Nadine builds its strengths
- Environment Agency puts out 12 flood alerts with rivers set to swell
- Potential repeat of devastating September storms that flooded 600 homes
After being hit by the worst deluge in 30 years last month, many of us have barely finished mopping up.
Now, however, large parts of the country are facing a repeat performance with forecasters warning that heavy rains and floods are on their way back.
Last night downpours and gales swept in, with two and a half inches (60mm) of rain expected to fall on higher areas in the south by tomorrow morning.

Most counties will see almost an inch – an amount which is normally no cause for concern, but forecasters warned of a 'cumulative effect' in areas where the ground is still sodden from last month's downpours.
A Met Office spokesman said: 'Even relatively low rainfall could cause a problem because after such a lot of rain at the end of September there is still a lot of water in the ground.
'With rain last night, more on Friday and then more on Sunday, it is the cumulative effect that could be a problem.'
The Environment Agency put out 14 flood warnings, with the worst expected in the North.
Two of the most severe warnings were last night issued to residents of York who were told the Ouse – which burst its banks in last month's deluge – could flood again.
Newcastle and other parts of the North East have yet to recover from the floods which hit last week, leaving this region the most vulnerable in heavy rain.
However it will be southern England and Wales which will experience the worst of the weather today and over the weekend, forecasters said..

Chris Burton, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, said southern areas could see between an inch (20mm) and one and a half inches (40mm) of rain, and two and a half (60mm) on higher ground.
'On Friday night there is going to be rather heavy rain across southern parts of England and Wales,' he said.
'The rest of the country will be quite cold and chilly with showers.
There has been quite a lot of rain in Wales so the ground is quite saturated.'
Winds of up to 60 miles per hour along the south coast last night were predicted to die down by this morning.
The Met Office also issued heavy rain warnings for South-West England, the West Midlands and Wales.
A break from the downpours is expected tomorrow, with temperatures dipping as the skies clear.
Ground frosts are expected on Sunday morning as the mercury drops to 1C (34F) in the North and 2C (36F) in the South.
The heavy rains will return by the end of the weekend and continue into Monday.

United States District Court, C.D. California
July 27, 2015
JAMES DICKEY, INC., Plaintiff,v.ALTERRA AMERICA INSURANCE COMPANY; MARKEL CORPORATION; DOES 1 through 20, inclusive, Defendants.
OTIS D. WRIGHT, II, District Judge.
Pending before the Court is Plaintiff James Dickey Inc.'s Motion to Remand. (ECF No. 11.) Plaintiff argues that Defendants Alterra America Insurance Company and Markel Corporation (collectively "Defendants") failed to prove the amount in controversy meets the threshold to establish diversity jurisdiction. For the reasons discussed below, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's Motion to Remand.[1]
On March 23, 2015, Plaintiff filed the instant action in the San Bernardino Superior Court, alleging that Defendants unreasonably and in bad faith withheld insurance benefits owed on a policy claim for Plaintiff's stolen tools. (Compl. ¶ 11.) Through its Complaint, Plaintiff seeks to recover damages including: lost insurance benefits; pecuniary contract damages; general, incidental, and special damages; economic losses; punitive and exemplary damages; and attorney and expert fees. ( Id. at 6 ¶¶ 21-23; 7 ¶¶ 28-2; 8-9 ¶¶ 1-12.)
On May 15, 2015, Defendant Alterra timely removed the case to this Court, asserting diversity jurisdiction.[2] (Notice of Removal at 2.) On May 21, 2015, Plaintiff moved to remand, arguing against diversity jurisdiction and seeking fees for bringing the Motion. (ECF No. 11.) On June 1, 2015, Defendant Alterra opposed Plaintiff's Motion, and provided evidence in support of diversity jurisdiction. (ECF No. 15.) On June 8, 2015, Plaintiff replied, but provided no evidence regarding jurisdiction. (ECF No. 18.) That Motion is now before the Court for consideration.
A. Subject Matter Jurisdiction
A defendant may remove a suit filed in state court to federal court if the federal court has original jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a). The removal statute is strictly construed, and any doubt as to the right of removal must be resolved in favor of remand. Gaus v. Miles, Inc., 980 F.2d 564, 566 (9th Cir. 1992). The removing party bears the burden of establishing federal jurisdiction. Id.
Federal courts have original jurisdiction where an action arises from a federal question under 28 U.S.C. § 1331, or presents diversity under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Diversity jurisdiction exists where the suit is between citizens of different states and the amount put in controversy by a plaintiff's complaint, exclusive of interest and costs, exceeds $75, 000. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). For the purposes of diversity, a corporation is a citizen of its state of incorporation as well as the state of its principal place of business. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(c)(1); Hertz Corp. v. Friend, 559 U.S. 77, 92 (2010).
"[A] defendant's notice of removal need include only a plausible allegation that the amount in controversy exceeds the jurisdictional threshold." Dart Cherokee Basin Operating Co. v. Owens, 135 S.Ct. 547, 554 (2014). Only when a defendant's allegation is challenged is evidence establishing the amount in controversy required. Id. When a plaintiff challenges a defendant's allegation of jurisdiction, both sides submit proof and the court determines by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning it is more likely than not, that the jurisdictional threshold has been satisfied. Ibarra v. Manheim Invs., Inc., 775 F.3d 1193, 1198 (9th Cir. 2015) (citing Dart, 135 S.Ct. at 554.) A defendant need not prove that a plaintiff will recover, but only that, if a plaintiff did recover on all claims, recovery would more likely than not exceed $75, 000. Cain v. Hartford Life & Accident Ins., 890 F.Supp.2d 1246, 1249 (C.D. Cal. 2012). The court may consider evidence outside the complaint, including evidence submitted in conjunction with an opposition to a motion to remand. See Ibarra, 775 F.3d at 1197; see also Willingham v. Morgan, 395 U.S. 402, 407 n.3 (1969).
Plaintiff seeks to remand this case to state court, arguing Defendants failed to establish that diversity jurisdiction existed at the time of removal. (Mot. at 1.) Specifically, Plaintiff argues that Defendant Alterra failed to establish the parties' citizenship in its Notice of Removal. (Mot. at 6.) In opposing Plaintiff's Motion, Defendant Alterra submitted declarations and exhibits that demonstrate complete diversity existed. (Opp'n at 11-14.) Plaintiff did not respond to Defendant Alterra's assertions of citizenship. (ECF No. 18) The Court therefore concludes that the parties do not dispute citizenship.
Plaintiff is a California corporation with its principal place of business in California. (Opp'n at 11.) Defendant Alterra is a Delaware corporation with a principal place of business in Virginia. ( Id. at 12-13.) Defendant Markel is a Virginia corporation with a principal place of business in Virginia. ( Id. at 12.) Finally, amended Doe Defendant AmWINS is a Delaware corporation with a principal place of business in North Carolina. ( Id. at 13-14.) Thus, complete diversity exists between the parties.
Regarding the amount in controversy, Plaintiff seeks damages including: lost insurance benefits; pecuniary contract damages; general, incidental, and special damages; economic losses; punitive and exemplary damages; and attorney and expert fees. (Compl. at 6 ¶¶ 21-23; 7 ¶¶ 28-29; 8-9 ¶¶ 1-12.) Although Plaintiff seeks a multitude of damages, at issue here is whether Defendant Alterra proved that the amount in controversy more likely than not exceeds $75, 000, when considering only the actual, punitive, and attorneys' fees damages. (Opp'n at 1.)
A. Actual Damages
Plaintiff's Complaint alleges that Defendants unreasonably withheld insurance benefits owed on a policy claim for Plaintiff's stolen tools. (Compl. ¶ 10.) Although the Complaint states that Plaintiff "has in fact purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars of tools, " Plaintiff's Reply acknowledges the claimed loss as $31, 671.29, which is the amount reflected by Plaintiff's estimated replacement cost of the tools. ( Id. ¶ 11; Reply at 2; Opp'n at 6, Ex. 1.) Thus, to meet the jurisdictional threshold, Defendant Alterra must establish that the remaining damages sought by Plaintiff would more likely than not exceed $43, 328.71.
B. Punitive Damages
Punitive damages may be considered in determining the amount in controversy in a civil action. Gibson v. Chrysler Corp., 261 F.3d 927, 945 (9th Cir. 2001). In California, a plaintiff may recover punitive damages for a breach of implied covenant if he proves "by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has been guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice." Cal. Civ. Code § 3294; see also Richmond v. Allstate Ins. Co., 897 F.Supp.447, 450 (S.D. Cal. 1995). As noted above, Plaintiff seeks such punitive damages. (Compl. ¶ 29.) Therefore, the Court may consider punitive damages when determining the amount in controversy. See Simmons v. PCR Tech., 209 F.Supp.2d 1029, 1033 (N.D. Cal. 2002).
When assessing the likely amount of punitive damages for jurisdictional purposes, courts may look to verdicts in analogous cases as a reasonable approximation, and "[t]he fact that the cited cases involve distinguishable facts is not dispositive." Id. "[R]easonable estimates are acceptable." Nasiri v. Allstate Indem. Co., 41 F.Appx. 76, 78 (9th Cir. 2002). Single-digit punitive damages ratios will generally satisfy due process. See State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. Campbell, 538 U.S. 408, 425 (2003); see also BMW of N. Am., Inc. v. Gore, 517 U.S. 559, 581 (1996) ("a comparison between the compensatory award and the punitive award is significant.").
Defendant Alterra cites to several bad faith insurance cases that involve loss of personal property similar in value to Plaintiff's. (Opp'n at 9-10.) The cited cases demonstrate a range of punitive damage awards from $64, 417 to $646, 471.53. ( Id. ) In this case, the jurisdictional threshold would be met with even the smallest cited punitive award. Plaintiff urges the Court to disregard the cited cases as distinguishable and to discount any punitive award as speculative, but otherwise provides no evidence for consideration. (Reply.) Were the Court to disregard the authority provided, even a conservative 2-to-1 ratio here would still produce a punitive award over $43, 328.71, and thus meet the jurisdictional threshold.
C. Attorneys' Fees
Attorneys' fees may be considered in determining the amount in controversy if they are recoverable by the plaintiff, either by statute or by contract. Galt G/S v. JSS Scandinavia, 142 F.3d 1150, 1156 (9th Cir. 1998); Richamond, 897 F.Supp. at 450. California law permits a plaintiff to recover reasonable attorneys' fees "[w]hen an insurer's tortious conduct reasonably compels the insured to retain an attorney to obtain the benefits due under a policy." Brandt v. Super. Ct., 37 Cal.3d 813, 815 (1985). As noted above, Plaintiff seeks such Brandt fees. (Compl. at 9 ¶ 9.) Therefore, the Court may consider them when assessing the amount in controversy. See Simmons, 209 F.Supp.2d at 1034. For purposes of the amount in controversy, the Court considers the amount of attorneys' fees to be accrued throughout the entirety of the litigation. See id. Further, "[t]he Court can use its discretion to determine, within its own experience, that an award of attorneys' fees alone will satisfy the amount in controversy requirement." Cain, 890 F.Supp.2d at 1250.
The parties do not dispute that Plaintiff's attorneys bill at an hourly rate of $295. (Mot., Mauge Decl. ¶ 7; Opp'n at 7.) Additionally, Defendant Alterra cites to several bad faith insurance cases that involve loss of personal property similar in value to Plaintiff's. (Opp'n at 7-8.) The cited cases demonstrate a range of fee awards from $13, 010 to $189, 000. ( Id. ) Even a conservative average of that range would be enough to meet the jurisdictional threshold. Plaintiff urges the Court to disregard Defendant's cited cases as distinguishable, but provides no case authority in contrast. (Reply.) Therefore, the Court finds that Defendant Alterra has provided competent authority that a Brandt fee award could total over $43, 328.71, and thus meet the jurisdictional threshold.
D. Plaintiff's Request for Attorneys' Fees
Plaintiff requests attorneys' fees in the amount of $2, 065 for bringing the instant Motion. As discussed above, the Court finds that the parties are diverse and the amount in controversy more likely than not exceeds $75, 000. Therefore, diversity jurisdiction exists and removal was reasonable. In light of the Court's conclusions, Plaintiff's request for attorneys' fees is DENIED.
For the reasons discussed above, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's Motion to Remand.

Daily Mail reports:
A man charged with killing two teens is facing additional charges after he allegedly threatened a judge and her family.
Brice Rhodes, who is charged with the murders of 14-year-old Larry Ordway and his brother, 16-year-old Maurice Gordon, repeatedly said he was going to target Amber Wolf in a Louisville, Kentucky, court on Friday.
He was in court on separate charges of attacking and injuring an inmate in August and spitting on another in September, according to WDRB.
In the video, deputies can be seen wheeling Rhodes into the court room as Judge Wolf directed them to 'just bring him up right here'.
Rhodes, who was wearing a spit mask, asked: 'Why you all havin' me come in like this for?'
Wolf replied: 'I think you know why. You know exactly why.'
As Wolf was about to read out Rhodes' charges he interrupted her and said: 'I'm going to get out.'
After several expletives, Wolf asked: 'Are you done?'
She continued to read the charges aloud: 'You've been charged with assault in the fourth degree…' but she was interrupted by Rhodes again.
'I don't care what I've been charged with,' he said. 'Don't you think I'm gonna find out where you live at?'
Wold asked: 'So you're saying you're going to find out where I live at?'
'I don't give a [expletive] about none of that!' Rhodes said. 'You got family! I'll be out!'
Wolf told Rhodes that his bond was set at '$15,000 full-cash' and asked him if he needed the appointment of a public defender'.
'I'll be out,' Rhodes said. 'I'll be out. Take me back to my cell,' Rhodes said.
After Rhodes was removed from the court, she said: 'That was a threat against the court. I'm asking the County Attorney's office to take that into account and consider what to do with that.'
Now authorities say they have filed additional charges of terroristic threatening and intimidating a participant in the legal process.
Police said Rhodes was arrested earlier this year after he shot and killed Christopher Jones in May.
Later that month, authorities said Rhodes fatally stabbing 16-year-old Gordon and 14-year-old Ordway.
He was charged in those cases and is currently in jail on a $1 million bond.
The bodies of the teens were found burned and dumped behind an abandoned house.
Detectives told WDRB that Rhodes killed the two brothers because he feared they would snitch about his involvement in Jones' murder.

Sierra Mist is a lemon-lime flavored soft drink, The new formula, branded as Sierra Mist, was introduced by PepsiCo in 1999, replacing Slice and Storm, and eventually became available in all United States markets by 2003. Following initial test marketing, PepsiCo first introduced Sierra Mist in 1999, replacing similar soft drinks such as lemon-lime Slice and the test-marketed Storm. The selection of the name 'Sierra Mist' was based on favorable market research involving 2,000 people. 'Sierra Mist' was selected from over 1,000 possible names. It is worth noting that 'Sierra' had previously been a proposed name for what became the original (10% juice-formula, lemon-lime) Slice in 1984. Diet Sierra Mist was also introduced in 2000, and sales of both diet and original Sierra Mist totaled $100 million in its first year of production.

Cantele Salice Salentino Riserva 2010
Other Red Wine from Italy
Winemaker's Notes
The Cantele Salice Salentino Riserva displays ruby red color with garnet streaks that coat the glass. Notes of candied fruits and spices on the nose that transition to underbrush, tea and amber hints. Tannins and acidity find a pleasant balance.
Pair with roast veal, lamb, game and ripe cheeses.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Good full ruby-red. Dark cherry and graphite aromas are lifted by an enticing spicy character. Supple, spicy and sweet, offering an uncanny combination of vibrancy, fat and density. Finishes suave and long, with fine, sweet tannins and very good lift."
Cantele Winery
This winery was founded in 1979 by Giovanni Cantele and his two sons Augusto and Domenico, and is the result of ten years experience in the wine business in the Salentino area. Cantele's latest investments have served to increase their presence in the DOC zone of Salice Salentino in the commune of Guagnano, where they grow the local Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Primitivo varieties.

About Southern ItalyView a map of Southern Italy wineries Abruzzi, Puglia, & Campania
AbruzziKind of central, kind of southern, this region is best known for it's wine, Montapulciano d'Abruzzi – this wine is made from the Montelpulciano grape, unlike Vino Nobile di Montelpulciano, made with a Sangiovese clone in the region of Montelpuliciano. The Montelpulciano grape is happiest here in Abruzzi and the wine is rustic, yet soft and often fruity. The best part is that it's also good value and super food-friendly.
PugliaSometimes called Apuglia outside of Italy, the area is known for making wine from the Zinfandel-related Primitivo variety. It sits on the Adriatic coast, facing Greece, and enjoys a Mediterranean climate. A productive wine region, Puglia makes a lot of wine, some of it not so high quality. Luckily, the good wine is exported and is of excellent value.
CampaniaPerhaps better known for the city of Naples than the wine produced, Campania does have a couple of wines worth recognition. First, the white known as Greco di Tufo – an indigenous variety, Greco produces white wine that is dry, with a subtle nutty flavor. The best-known red here is Taurasi, made from the Aglianico grape, producing a wine of distinct color and flavor, with aromas of tar and leather.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

I love this wine. Smooth and supple is certainly the name of the game here. Drinks well by itself or accompanying food. Taste like…well…grapes. Juicy, delicious grapes. Hard to find a better wine at this price.William Moore - San Francisco, CA56/20/2014

Really tasty. The most interesting wines these days are coming from southern Italy made from grape varieties known and used by the ancient Romans and fortunately these grape varieties are being revived. Thankfully, People like Mastroberdino, Feudi di San Gregorio and several others are producing wines from almost extinct grape varietals, thus allowing us to drink like Romani Veri, True Romans, Alla Salute!hrndfrg - Huntsville, TX410/7/2014littlemiss3204 - Boston, MA48/23/2014anthony montemuro - Brentwood, TN47/16/2014

Great bargain on a versatile food friendly wine. Core of ripe red plums and cherries with tons of savory spice, good acidity and soft tannins. Well balanced. Benefits from plenty of aeration.
