Fireworks and how it effects PTSD
SUMMARY: The Fourth of July brings traditional celebrations like BBQs and fireworks, but it can be distressing for veterans and others with PTSD, triggering anxiety and painful memories. Families in the metro area enjoy fireworks for their noise and colors, but mental health experts warn that these displays can cause harm. Christen Gates from the Lighthouse Healing Center highlights their work since 2022 in treating PTSD patients. They advise more inclusive celebrations, such as wearing noise-canceling headphones or attending laser light shows, and emphasize the importance of recognizing and accommodating individual needs to prevent triggering PTSD symptoms.
Being supportive and careful to those who suffer from PTSD

SUMMARY: Happy Friday! We're looking at our current rainfall status for July. June ended dry with a 2-inch deficit, and early July is nearly an inch behind, with only 0.31 inches of rain in Meridian today. Notably, other areas received more. Portions of Noxubee and Clarke Counties are abnormally dry, but recent rain has been beneficial. More rain is expected south of I-20 tonight and over the weekend, with showers likely into Saturday and Sunday. Tropical Storm Barry, likely to strengthen, could bring additional moisture to Mississippi early next week. Overall, expect warm, muggy weather with scattered showers and thunderstorms.
Plan for a hot weekend with showers to dodge
