TRAVIS SEERA is sitting on the sun-drenched rooftop of a high-rise in Belltown, enjoying the last few bites of his lunch until its time to climb off the edge.

To the uninitiated who peer over the parapet to see where hes headed, it feels like this could be Seeras last meal.

Its a stomach-churning drop, one that has turned his safety cones, parked on the sidewalk 26 stories below, into puny orange dots not much bigger than the period at the end of this sentence.

But Seera is unfazed. A high-rise window cleaner in Seattle, hes gone over the edge hundreds of times and always comes back for more.

So does Ben Cruzat, a married father of three boys with another on the way. Now 36, hes rappelled down Seattle high-rises with a bucket and a squeegee for 15 years.

I didnt have any plans of being a window cleaner this long, and every winter I have a different plan, says Cruzat. Hes smiling, but not laughing.

Remember the subfreezing temperatures during the Super Bowl parade? Cruzat and Seera worked nine hours that day, hanging off ropes attached to the roof of a high-rise on Second Avenue; it was so cold they put methanol in their buckets to keep the soapy water from freezing.

Seera, 31, wore four layers of clothing that day, including two beanies and gloves that did nothing to stop his fingers from freezing to the point of immobility. He cried that day. Everyone on the job did.

In the winter, I look inside and Im jealous, Seera says.

Possible tornado touches down in Colfax (6/27/14)

Attached are photos sent to us from viewers in the Colfax area

COLFAX, Wis. (WEAU)-- The National Weather Service says a tornado touchdown was reported in Colfax Friday afternoon.

The tornado was spotted around 3:15 p.m. Multiple trees are down in the area, and there is damage to a gas station along with the local elementary and middle school.

Law enforcement says no injuries were reported, but folks are in the process of cleaning up all the debris.

Rick Meskers was at work when the tornado hit. "I was sitting in my office and looking out the window, and I saw some straight line winds coming through. Me and Eugene and Matt were like, wow, look at those winds and then Matt yelled...it's a tornado! And then I saw it, and we all took of running for the back."

Meanwhile Erin Larson and her son Trey were at home when the storm arrived in town

"The storm was bad," explained Trey who is pretty scared of tornadoes and storms.

WARREN - The owner of the former General Refractory plant in Champion was fined $5,000 and placed on two years of non-reporting probation Tuesday as a judge ordered him to continue cleaning up what was once a stockpile of between 8,000 and 10,000 tons of steel swarf.

Appearing before Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Andrew Logan and using a cane to walk to the bench, Edgar Knieriem Jr., 66, also known as Ed Kane, apologized to the judge but continued to deny complete guilt in an environmental case, insisting instead that he may have aided or abetted.

Still, Knieriem pleaded guilty in March 2012 to six counts of open dumping and burning in exchange for six other similar counts being dismissed.

The Cockeysville, Md., man has gotten at least 16 continuances in his sentencing date, pleading ill health on a lot of the occasions.

Knieriem's attorney, Mike Boler, turned over to Logan an administrative settlement agreement his client has with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that continues to monitor the cleanup on the 80 acres that runs adjacent to the state Route 5/82 bypass in Champion.

Knieriem also serves as the principal of Von Vttersan Lecopla USA, LLC, a holding company which is being held responsible to complete the cleanup under the federal agreement.

Under the terms of the agreement worked out between Boler and assistant county prosecutor, Charles Morrow, the defendant could be made to pay off fine money in the form of community service at the rate of 40 hours a month if he reneges on the payments.

Morrow never pressed for a halt to the continuances since he said Knieriem was always making progress to cleanup the site.

It was 2009 that local authorities were alerted to the large piles of unprotected grindings and millings that are byproducts from steel producers.

Knieriem identified as the operator of Diversified Resources at 400 Refractory Drive was indicted for the mess. The company started taking in the swarf in 1993 until officials with the Geauga Trumbull Solid Waste District and Trumbull County Sheriff's Office declared it an environmental hazard.
