“Slow Process for Recovery” in Siesta Key after Helene and Milton
SUMMARY: Day two of recovery from Hurricane Milton coincides with day 15 of recovery from Hurricane Helen in Siesta Key, where Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storm. Helen’s storm surge was higher, affecting more one-story homes, while Milton’s lower surge resulted in significant wind damage. Newer constructions, elevated about 20 feet, experienced minimal impact to living quarters. The aftermath highlights the differing threats posed by each hurricane, with the focus now on the slow recovery process in Siesta Key, Florida, where strong winds and storm surge have left lingering challenges.

Jackson police work to solve recent homicides
SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department (JPD) has solved the two latest homicides, making three arrests within 24 hours, with a fourth pending. Police Chief Joseph Wade attributes the 80% solvability rate to a new focused approach that prioritizes witness statements, physical evidence, and technology. He emphasizes accountability for violent crimes, aided by new federal resources after Jackson was designated a public safety partnership city. While crime rates have declined, Wade stresses the importance of community involvement and judicial reform, advocating for stricter bail for violent offenders to bolster crime-fighting efforts.
