SUMMARY: In preparation for the 2024 hurricane season, the WX First Alert weather team is expanding its storm readiness message through a dedicated hour-long show. This special coverage includes insights from Hurricane Hunters, research on hurricane forecasting by the University of Southern Mississippi (USM), and tips on keeping children calm during storms. A notable feature is USM's collaboration with SE Trek on the Infinity Float, an innovative device aimed at improving hurricane intensity forecasting. The program also revisits historical hurricanes like Camille and Frederick, discussing their impacts and the evolving challenge of rapid storm intensification. The show emphasizes the importance of early preparation and understanding that water, not wind, is often the deadliest element of hurricanes.

It's officially hurricane season. This year, we're bringing you an hour-long First Alert special, with the goal of keeping you and your family safe and informed.

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.
