SUMMARY: Shelby is hosting its annual JROTC Cadet Leadership Challenge, with high school cadets from 54 schools participating. The event emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and decision-making. Cadets, including Nicholas Clap and Jadel Deer, engage in various missions and activities such as repelling, obstacle courses, land navigation, and canoeing. Over 300 cadets from Mississippi and Louisiana are involved, divided into companies and leadership roles. The challenge focuses on personal growth and citizenship rather than military training, although it aids in military transition. Awards and recognitions will be distributed tomorrow, with the camp concluding on Saturday morning.

SUMMARY: Hurricane chaser Josh Morgerman has built a resilient “hurricane house” in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. While most people evacuate during hurricanes, Josh stays to collect data from the eye of the storm, having experienced over 70 hurricanes and typhoons globally. He moved from Los Angeles to coastal Mississippi during the pandemic due to travel restrictions and fell in love with the area. His house incorporates advanced building techniques, such as using 2×6 studs, a standing seam metal roof, and fiber cement siding for maximum durability. The house also features a state-of-the-art weather station to monitor storm conditions. Josh anticipates a busy hurricane season ahead.
