Officers rescue seven from rapidly rising creek
SUMMARY: Seven people, including Haley Grace Jones and her children, were caught in a flash flood at Town Creek in Monroe County, Mississippi. Initially enjoying a day at the creek, they were trapped by rising waters due to upstream rain. Lacking a precise location to share with 911, Jones was eventually located by Deputy Zack Wilbanks, who retrieved his boat with assistance from Officer Storm Moore. All seven were safely rescued, thanks to their swift actions. Jones, a nurse who had previously cared for Wilbanks after a 2020 accident, expressed gratitude and learned to always check the weather and wear life jackets.

SUMMARY: Amory basketball star Dot Ford Burrow has been inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame, 75 years after her exceptional performance at Smithville High School. Recognized for scoring 82 points in a single game and averaging nearly 50 points per game during the 1949-1950 season, her career was overlooked due to limited coverage of women's sports at the time. Burrow's legacy continues through her athletic family, including her husband James Burrow, son Jimmy Burrow, and grandson Joe Burrow, a Heisman Trophy winner and NFL star. She will be officially inducted on July 1.

SUMMARY: A significant plume of Saharan dust is crossing the Atlantic, impacting parts of the U.S. ahead of July 4. Initially affecting Florida, the dust is expected to reach Texas and other Gulf states by Monday. Saharan dust, originating from the Sahara Desert, travels westward via Trade Winds, creating less favorable conditions for tropical cyclones and lowering humidity. While it blocks sunlight and affects air quality, the dust also delivers essential minerals to ecosystems. To mitigate its negative health impacts, people should stay indoors, use masks, and employ HEPA filters. Such dust events often result in striking sunrises and sunsets.
