SUMMARY: If evacuating the coast during a hurricane, Pine Belt offers severe weather shelters, including in Jones County. Consult mim.org for open shelters or contact county EMAs. Infinity Science Center educates families and children about hurricanes, their formation, and preparation through interactive exhibits. Mississippi Aquarium in Gulfport, designed to endure Category 5 winds, houses marine life with safety measures, such as backup generators and a water treatment system. Outdoor animals are relocated during threats. Waffle Houses provide assistance during storms. Central Mississippi also faces severe weather risks similar to hurricanes, emphasizing the importance of having a preparedness plan.

In part four, we take a look at how the Mississippi Aquarium prepares for storms, and how you can prepare your children with educational resources.

SUMMARY: In Nashville, a woman expressed her fear in court that her abuser would kill her if released. Despite multiple violent incidents, he was released without informing her or placing a GPS monitor on him. Shortly after, he went missing, prompting the woman's father, Lance, to warn her. Lauren, the victim, stopped responding to messages, and her Life 360 tracker was turned off. Her body was later found brutally beaten in her car at a cemetery. Lance condemned the criminal justice system for its failures. The abuser, Rivers, has a criminal history and is currently in jail on a $1 million bond.

Thursday, Lauren Johansen's mutilated body was discovered in the back seat of her car in Harrison County.
