SUMMARY: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis highlighted the state’s leadership in combating illegal immigration, emphasizing new reforms and collaboration with federal authorities. All 67 Florida sheriffs reportedly agreed to cooperate with federal immigration efforts, with noncompliance risking suspension. Florida’s immigration czar Larry Keefe introduced the Law Enforcement Accountability Dashboard (LEAD), a public portal for reporting agencies not enforcing immigration laws. In six weeks, only eight complaints were filed, including some against Palm Beach, Orlando, Jupiter, and Broward law enforcement. Complainant Sunny Crays expressed frustration over a lack of response from authorities. Keefe confirmed investigations are underway but provided no updates; DeSantis credits low complaints to stringent state legislation.

SUMMARY: On August 21, 2017, University of Alabama researchers conducted a groundbreaking study using multiple Doppler radars, mobile weather stations, and balloon soundings to observe meteorological and insect responses during a total solar eclipse. As totality caused ground temperature to drop 7–9°F and surface winds to slow, insects abruptly descended from 650–1,000 feet, likely disoriented by the loss of sunlight used for navigation. Radar data showed a 90% decline in insect reflectivity during darkness, with insects reascending once the sun returned. This first high-resolution eclipse experiment reveals how solar eclipses disrupt atmospheric and insect behavior, potentially affecting broader ecosystem dynamics.

SUMMARY: A fire broke out early morning in a Hollywood apartment, sending flames into the night sky. Three people—a child, an elderly woman, and a man—were rushed to the hospital. The child and elderly woman were rescued from a window, with the boy needing resuscitation on the scene. Both were taken to Memorial Regional and then Jackson Memorial Hospital in serious condition. The man, who suffered smoke inhalation, was intubated. Neighbors were alarmed, and one heroically woke and evacuated others, even rescuing a dog named Nala. Police continue investigating the fire, with authorities updating conditions pending.

Teri Hornstein reports the child and an elderly woman were pulled through the window of the burning apartment.
