A lot of people loved comedian and actor Martin Mull. He died at the age of 80, according to his family.
Maggie Mull, Mullās daughter, posted the sad news on Instagram, saying that her father had died at home āafter a valiant fight against a long illness.ā
āHe was known for excelling at every creative discipline imaginable and also for doing Red Roof Inn commercials,ā she told us.
āThat joke would make him laugh.ā He was always funny. Friends, coworkers, fellow artists, comedians, musicians, and, most importantly, many, many dogs will miss my dad very much. His wife and daughter will also miss him a lot. I loved him very much.ā
Mull was most likely best known for his roles as coach Willard Kraft on Sabrina the Teenage Witch and as Roseanne Connorās friend Leon Carp on the sitcom of the same name.
He also played the private eye Gene Parmesean on the show Arrested Development.
Mull was nominated for his first and only Emmy in 2016 for his role as Bob Bradley on Veep.
Mull had a lot of different jobs over the course of his career. For example, he worked with Fred Willard to write the 1985 mockumentary The History of White People in America.
He loved writing songs and making people laugh. In the early 1970s, country music star Jane Morgan recorded his song A Girl Named Johnny Cash, which was a parody of A Boy Named Sue.
It stayed on the Hot Country Songs chart on Billboard for five weeks.
Mull played the guitar in nightclubs and sang parody songs for a living. He even opened for Frank Zappa, Randy Newman, Bruce Springsteen, and Billy Joel.
A review on AllMusic.com said, āMullās strange sense of humor is clear on all of his albums, but heās not a parody artist like Weird Al.ā
āHis albums are skewed singer/songwriter, pop/rock with a strong jazz influence, which just happen to have funny lyrics.ā
A PROSPEROUS CAREER
Melissa Joan Hart, who played Sabrina Spellman on the popular TV show, talked about her longtime principal who made a lot of mistakes.
āRest in peace, friend. The amazing #MartinMull (Principal Kraft) has died and gone to be with God,ā she wrote on Instagram.
āI have such fond memories of working with him and being in awe of his huge body of work which before #SabrinaTheTeemageWitch included #Roseanne and #MrMom as the projects I knew him from.ā
Hart also said that after they were done with Sabrina, Mull kept taking on guest roles and recurring roles on other shows.
āHe once told me that he takes every job heās offered just in case the train comes to an end, which in this business tends to halt quickly,ā she said.
He liked to paint and build things with his hands, though. He was also a musician and a great person who I am better for knowing. He will be missed, but the world was better because he was here. Iām very sorry for his family and friendsā loss.
āI will continue to cherish the Martin Mull artwork hanging in my home!ā
Mull was born on August 18, 1943, in Chicago, Illinois. His father was a carpenter, and his mother was an actress and director.
He lived in both North Ridgeville, Ohio, and New Canaan, Connecticut, as a child.
He was going to the Rhode Island School of Design to become a painter. He planned to get a bachelorās degree in fine arts and a masterās degree in painting.
Mull got his start in show business when he put together bands to make money for school.
His daughter, who writes and produces TV shows, and his third wife, Wendy Haas, whom he married in 1982, survive him.

The doctors had brought the dog in to say farewell to its owner, but what happened next left everyone stunned. The intelligent animal suddenly began barking loudly and leaped onto the officerās bed š±š±.
The room was filled with an eerie silence. The soft glow of the hospital lamps barely lit the manās face as he lay motionless on the bed. Alex, a police officer who had saved countless lives, now found himself in the hospital. His body remained still, with only the faintest sound of breathing, and the machines beeped with increasing urgency as each minute passed.
The medical team had worked tirelessly to save him, but the injuries were too severe. After countless efforts, one doctor slowly looked down, a somber expression on his face.
āItās overā¦ā he murmured.
With a heavy heart, the surgeon switched off the monitor. Alexās heart had stopped.
The moment my mother placed the object on the kitchen table, time seemed to pause. I remember the soft clink of metal on wood, the way she looked at meānot accusing, not alarmed, but puzzled. Almost curious. But I felt something very different.
Dread.
I knew my father kept secrets. Not the dramatic kind, like double lives or offshore bank accountsāat least not that I knew of. No, his secrets were quieter. His drawers, for instance, were strictly off-limits. He wasnāt a violent man, but the rules in our house were subtle and unspoken, and one of them was: Donāt go through Dadās stuff.
And yet, here it was. On the table. Unlocked, unearthed, undeniable.
The Object
It was about the length of my forearm, curved slightly like a crescent moon, made of something that looked like stainless steel. From its center extended a thin rod with adjustable arms, each with tiny ball-shaped tips. It was flexible, but not flimsy. Cold to the touch, even under the warmth of the kitchen light.
Ā«What do you think it is?Ā» my mom asked, tilting her head. Her voice was calm, but there was an edge beneath it. A suspicion. A fear she hadnāt named.
I didnāt answer right away. Because I had an idea.
And it terrified me.
A Memory, Half-Buried
Three years ago, when my dad had emergency surgery after a minor car crash, I remember overhearing a conversation between two nurses.
āUnusual device embedded in his spine,ā one of them said.
āA personal implant?ā the other replied.
I remember the way they whispered, like it wasnāt meant for anyone else to hear.
I also remember my dadās reaction when I asked about it later. He looked at me, smiled too wide, and changed the subject.
After that, I never brought it up again. But now, with this object in front of me, I couldnāt help but recall that moment.
Was this connected?
Not Just Metal
I picked up the object. Its weight surprised me. It was too heavy for what it looked like. As I turned it in my hands, I noticed something newāmarkings. Tiny etchings, barely visible to the eye.
Coordinates.
I entered them into my phone.
The result: A remote wooded area, hours away. A place none of us had ever been. A place my father had never mentioned.
The Discovery
I waited two days before confronting him. I didnāt want to be rash. I didnāt want to accuse. But I needed answers.
He was in his study, polishing a fountain pen. The kind of ordinary task he used to avoid difficult questions. I placed the object on his desk.
His face changed.
Not in fear. But in defeat.
āI was going to tell you,ā he said softly.
āTell me what?ā
āThat itās not mine.ā
The Story He Finally Told
According to my father, the object was discovered years ago, buried beneath the foundation of a cabin he inherited from a distant uncle. It was wrapped in cloth, inside a wooden box, with no explanation. He thought it was an old surgical tool. But when he showed it to an engineer friend, the man refused to even touch it.
Said it was ānot built by anyone I know. Not human manufacturing.ā
It became an obsession for him. He wanted to know what it was, what it did. But every time he tried to examine it too closely, he felt nauseous. Once, he fainted. Eventually, he sealed it away and tried to forget it.
But he couldnāt.
Neither could I.
The Truthāor a Fragment of It
In the days that followed, I researched everything I could. Strange devices. Unknown implants. Alleged alien tech. Deep web forums full of people like meāsearching, decoding, speculating.
What scared me wasnāt just the object itself. It was the idea that my father had kept it, that he had felt something from it, and that now I was feeling it too.
Headaches. Vivid dreams. A low hum in quiet rooms. Was it all in my mind?
Or had something been activated?
The Decision
I had a choice: Destroy it. Bury it. Pretend it never existed.
Or follow it.
The coordinates were still in my phone. I packed a bag. I didnāt tell anyoneānot even my mother. I took the object, wrapped tightly in layers of cloth, and I drove.
Hours later, I was standing in front of a small metal hatch in the middle of the woods. Exactly where the GPS said it would be.
And it was already open.
Why This Story Went Viral
Because it hits a nerve we all share: the fear that something unknowable may be closer than we think. That ordinary people, with ordinary lives, might be carrying pieces of something vast, hidden, and ancient.
We all have family secrets.
But what if one of them isnāt from this world?
For months, former Vice President Mike Pence had been wrestling with a truth that he had long tried to suppressāa truth that, despite his hopes, refused to be silenced. It was a burden he carried privately, cloaked behind a calm demeanor and unwavering professionalism. But now, standing beneath the harsh lights of the press room, facing a sea of cameras and expectant eyes, he could no longer delay the inevitable.
His expression was somber, marked by the fatigue of sleepless nights and the silent weight of introspection. As he approached the podium, a hush fell over the room. Gone was the familiar confidence in his posture; in its place stood a man visibly shaken, bearing the heaviness of what he was about to say. His voice, usually measured and steady, quivered with restrained emotion. Tears welled in his eyes, a reflection of the personal toll the moment demanded. He paused, drawing a deep, trembling breath before speakingāeach word carefully chosen, each syllable laced with sorrow.
āThis is not a decision I arrived at lightly,ā he began, his voice barely above a whisper. āIt is one that has weighed on my heart for a long timeātested my faith, challenged my principles, and forced me to confront my deepest beliefs.ā
The room remained silent, the gravity of his words anchoring everyone in place. This wasnāt a campaign speech, nor a policy announcement. It was something far more intimateāan unveiling of the man behind the title. For years, Pence had stood at the center of American politics, a figure of stoicism and conviction. Yet in this moment, stripped of pretense, he revealed a side of himself rarely seen: raw, vulnerable, human.
Earlier that day, he had gone through the motions of routineābuttoning his shirt, reviewing notes, praying quietly in the solitude of his study. Each step felt heavier than the last, each breath a reminder of the crossroads he stood at.
The speech in his hands had been rewritten dozens of times, revised with every sleepless night and whispered prayer. Still, no version ever felt quite right, because no words could truly capture what this decision meant to him.
He had always been a man of unwavering principles, guided by his faith, loyal to his convictions. But as the months passed and the pressure mounted, the clarity he sought had slowly given way to conflictābetween duty and conscience, between expectation and truth.
Now, before the world, he made his standānot as a politician, but as a man choosing integrity over ambition, conviction over comfort. The cameras flashed. The world watched. But for Mike Pence, this was not a performance. It was a reckoning.
And though the silence that followed his speech spoke volumes, it was not just the end of a chapterāit was the beginning of a legacy defined not by power, but by the courage to speak truth, even when it hurts most.

At seventy-one, Tank had already lived through more than most. A Vietnam veteran and lifelong biker, he had endured fights, crashes, and endless lonely roads. Yet nothing compared to what he faced one icy night in rural Montana.
Stopping at a gas station bathroom, he discovered a newborn wrapped in a thin blanket. Her lips were blue, and a note pinned to her covering read: āHer name is Hope. Canāt afford her medicine. Please help her.ā
Around her wrist was a hospital band with a diagnosis that froze him more than the storm outside: severe congenital heart disease. She needed surgery within seventy-two hours. But a blizzard had shut down roads and overwhelmed emergency crews.
Tank knew time wasnāt on her side. Without hesitation, he tucked the baby inside his jacket, holding her close to his chest, and stepped into the storm.
For eight brutal hours, he fought waist-high snow, guided by determination and the fragile cries of the child in his arms. Whispering to her, he promised she wasnāt alone.
By morning, he reached a small rural clinic, half-frozen and barely able to stand. Nurses rushed Hope into care, warming her until she could be sent to a childrenās hospital. Doctors later confirmed that Tankās journey had bought her the crucial time she needed.
Word of his act spread quickly. Though hailed as a hero, Tank dismissed the praise. āI just did what anyone with a heart would do,ā he said. For Hope, though, he was the man who carried her through the storm.
In 2025, Israel continues to face complex security challenges, as reports suggest the country has come under attack. While full details are still emerging, itās essential to take a closer look at the evolving developments and consider the broader regional implications.
For decades, Israel has been situated at the heart of regional tensions in the Middle East. In 2025, these challenges persist, with a reported increase in security incidents and military activity. These reports suggest renewed hostilities involving missile launches, border skirmishes, and defensive countermeasures.
Israelās defense forces have elevated their readiness, with air defense systems activated and emergency protocols implemented across key cities. Government officials have urged the public to remain calm while reinforcing efforts to protect civilian populations.
As of now, there is no confirmed information regarding the exact groups responsible for the recent attacks. However, analysts point to long-standing friction with various non-state actors in neighboring regions, as well as broader geopolitical rivalries that often fuel localized conflict.
The complexity of the region means that multiple partiesāeach with their own motivations and grievancesāmay contribute to escalating tensions. Careful verification of all claims and sources remains essential to understanding the full picture.
In response to the recent attacks, Israeli authorities have increased surveillance and deployed targeted defense strategies. The countryās leadership has emphasized both the need for national security and the importance of avoiding broader escalation.
Officials are also in communication with international allies to coordinate diplomatic and humanitarian efforts, signaling a dual-track approach that includes both defense and dialogue.
These developments carry implications far beyond Israelās borders. Rising tensions could disrupt trade, increase humanitarian needs, and influence diplomatic relations across the region.
Neighboring countries and international organizations have expressed concern, urging all parties to prioritize restraint. The potential for spillover effects highlights the importance of a measured, coordinated response.
Despite the difficulties, there remains a strong pushāboth within Israel and globallyāfor long-term peace and stability. Grassroots movements, civil society organizations, and diplomatic efforts continue to work behind the scenes to reduce hostilities and promote dialogue.
Efforts from mediators, including the United Nations and regional partners, remain active in encouraging a return to negotiations and non-violent solutions.
The global community has a critical role to play in supporting peace efforts in the region. This includes:
Promoting de-escalation through diplomatic engagement
Supporting humanitarian aid for affected populations
Encouraging balanced reporting and preventing the spread of misinformation
Funding and facilitating peacebuilding initiatives
By taking an active role, international actors can contribute meaningfully to both short-term stability and long-term solutions.
The reported attacks on Israel in 2025 are a reminder of the enduring complexities in the Middle East. While tensions remain high, the path toward peace depends on sustained diplomacy, clear communication, and global cooperation.
For individuals, staying informed through reliable sources is essential. For policymakers, the moment calls for renewed focus on dialogue, humanitarian assistance, and strategic de-escalation.
The wildlife and plants of Earth are rich with interesting and unique species.
Itās incredible to witness the ingenious ways in which creatures work together and modify their behavior in response to environmental factors.
Consequently, I was intrigued when I came across images of three supposedly āangry snakesā hiding in a tree. Itās not just me who has fallen for the wonderful photos out there.
If you find one serpent in a tree unsettling, imagine what it would be like to see three of them coiled together! Thankfully, the photographs that have everyone talking arenāt of snakes at all, but rather something else.
Millions upon millions of unique species can be discovered in the natural world. There is a place and a purpose for every species in the ecosystem.
Many plant and animal species have also evolved remarkable adaptations and survival tactics over time.
Some insects, for instance, have evolved camouflage patterns to help them blend in with their environments and evade predators, while others have created poisons to ward off potential threats.
When images of three threatening-looking āsnakesā began making the rounds online, this fact gained even more attention.
When Rob Allam posted a photo to Twitter in 2021 that appeared to show three angry-looking āserpentsā sheltering in a tree, it left many of his followers scratching their heads.
It didnāt take long, though, for readers to catch on to the fact that there was more to the tale than initially met the eye.
It has been determined that the apparent trio of āsnakesā is actually an optical illusion caused by a cross section of wings from two different species of the Atlas moth.
Native to the Asian woodlands, this unique moth species has the uncanny ability to resemble a snake.
The Atlas moth has a massive wingspan of up to 24 centimeters (9.4 inches) and a wing area of about 160 centimeters squared (about 25 square inches).
There is a significant size difference between the wings and the body of an Atlas moth. It was initially documented in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus and is now known as one of the largest insects on Earth. The titan Atlas from Greek mythology inspired the name of this enormous creature.
When Rob posted the picture to Twitter, he also added some context:
āAttacus Atlas is among the largest butterflies worldwide, and during its adult stage, it lives only for a brief span of two weeks. Its primary objective during this stage is to lay eggs and safeguard them until they hatch, all the while camouflaging itself as a snake,ā he wrote.
Many individuals had trouble at first accepting that the creature in question was a moth, but eventually came around.
āThat disguise is really good,ā one user wrote.
Another user expressed surprise, saying, āHowās that top one not an actual snake? This moth would live longer if it didnāt look like I wanted to beat it with a broom.ā
Atlas moths, in spite of popular belief, are feeble and shaky while taking to the air. These moths hibernate during the day to save energy for their nocturnal flights.
According to the National History Museum, the Atlas moth uses a writhing motion while flapping its wings in a planned manner to resemble the appearance of a snakeās head when it feels threatened.
One would have to travel to the tropical forests of Asia to experience the awe-inspiring presence of the Atlas moth firsthand. However, Atlas moths have been spotted in several parts of Europe and the United States.
In 2012, the BBC reported an exciting occurrence in which a huge Atlas moth was discovered resting on a windowsill in Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester.
The family that made the find initially thought the moth they had found was a bat due to its large size. It was speculated that the rare animal had gotten loose from someoneās personal collection. Unfortunately, it passed away soon after discovery.
In July of 2022, a second specimen of the Atlas moth was photographed in Bellevue, Washington. As the first time this species had ever been seen in the United States, it was a momentous occasion. Another was discovered in Sweden in 2022.
āThis is a āgee-whizā type of insect, because it is so large,ā said Sven Spichiger, the managing entomologist for the state Agriculture Department told NBC News.
He added, āEven if you arenāt on the lookout for insects, this is the type that people get their phones out and take a picture of ā they are that striking.ā
I imagine that if I were to meet this extraordinary creature, I would feel a mixture of wonder and amazement.
The first thing I would do is grab my camera because Iād want to make sure I never forget this experience. But if I saw it starting to imitate a snakeās head, I would back away slowlyā¦
If you liked this piece about the worldās largest and most stunning moth, please consider sharing it on Facebook. Itās worth emphasizing and admiring because of the unique qualities it possesses and the rarity with which it occurs outside of its natural area.

Lingerie has long been more than just a functional part of a womanās wardrobeāitās a form of personal expression. From lace and satin to prints and colors, every detail in a womanās underwear can reflect elements of her personality, mood, or desires.
Among these details, one particularly charming and consistent feature stands out: the bow. Whether dainty or decorative, centered or off to the side, a bow on a pair of panties is a subtle design choice that may say more about the wearer than meets the eye.
So, what kind of personality might a woman have if she gravitates toward panties with bows? If your woman likes wearing panties with bows or suddenly turns to like this, continue to read to know more.
1. Feminine and Romantic at Heart
The bow is a classic symbol of femininity. Women who choose panties with bows often embrace their feminine side, enjoying delicate and traditionally āgirlyā aesthetics. This preference doesnāt necessarily mean they conform to stereotypesāit could simply reflect an appreciation for soft beauty and romantic touches in everyday life.
These women might also enjoy flowers, pastels, handwritten notes, and cozy spaces. They find joy in the little things and tend to bring a gentle, nurturing energy into their relationships.
2. Attention to Detail
Choosing lingerie with a bow, especially when itās not something anyone else may see, reflects a subtle appreciation for detail. Women with this preference may extend this characteristic into other aspects of life: they might love decorating spaces with care, curating playlists, or putting thought into gifts. The bow becomes a small symbol of their thoughtful nature.
3. Playful and Flirtatious
Thereās a playful side to lingerie with bowsāsomething sweet, coquettish, and a little cheeky. Women who like this style often have a lighthearted, fun-loving spirit. Theyāre confident in their sensuality but express it in a softer, more whimsical way rather than through overt or bold designs.
This flirtatious energy is rarely aggressive; instead, itās about charm, subtlety, and the joy of feeling good in your own skin.
4. Private Confidence
Even when the bow is hidden under clothing, it serves as a quiet confidence booster. Women who wear panties with bows may not always seek external validation for their beautyāthey find empowerment in how they feel, not just how they appear. Wearing something pretty ājust for meā shows a strong sense of self-worth and an inner life rich with self-respect and confidence.
5. Nostalgic or Whimsical
Some women are drawn to bows because they evoke a sense of nostalgiaāperhaps reminding them of vintage styles or childhood innocence. These women might enjoy storytelling, old films, handwritten letters, or collecting objects that hold sentimental value. They often have a whimsical imagination and an appreciation for the past while still being grounded in the present.
Conclusion
Of course, not every fashion choice defines a person entirely. But small preferences, like choosing panties with bows, can offer glimpses into a womanās inner world. Whether itās about feeling beautiful, embracing femininity, or simply enjoying the charm of delicate details, this tiny bow can reveal a lot: playfulness, thoughtfulness, and a deep connection with self-expression.
Ultimately, women who love bows in their lingerie likely embody a blend of softness and strengthāfinding empowerment in the personal and joy in the intimate.
Among these details, one particularly charming and consistent feature stands out: the bow. Whether dainty or decorative, centered or off to the side, a bow on a pair of panties is a subtle design choice that may say more about the wearer than meets the eye.

These women might also enjoy flowers, pastels, handwritten notes, and cozy spaces. They find joy in the little things and tend to bring a gentle, nurturing energy into their relationships.
2. Attention to Detail
Choosing lingerie with a bow, especially when itās not something anyone else may see, reflects a subtle appreciation for detail. Women with this preference may extend this characteristic into other aspects of life: they might love decorating spaces with care, curating playlists, or putting thought into gifts. The bow becomes a small symbol of their thoughtful nature.
3. Playful and Flirtatious
Thereās a playful side to lingerie with bowsāsomething sweet, coquettish, and a little cheeky. Women who like this style often have a lighthearted, fun-loving spirit. Theyāre confident in their sensuality but express it in a softer, more whimsical way rather than through overt or bold designs.
This flirtatious energy is rarely aggressive; instead, itās about charm, subtlety, and the joy of feeling good in your own skin.
4. Private Confidence
Even when the bow is hidden under clothing, it serves as a quiet confidence booster. Women who wear panties with bows may not always seek external validation for their beautyāthey find empowerment in how they feel, not just how they appear. Wearing something pretty ājust for meā shows a strong sense of self-worth and an inner life rich with self-respect and confidence.
5. Nostalgic or Whimsical
Some women are drawn to bows because they evoke a sense of nostalgiaāperhaps reminding them of vintage styles or childhood innocence. These women might enjoy storytelling, old films, handwritten letters, or collecting objects that hold sentimental value. They often have a whimsical imagination and an appreciation for the past while still being grounded in the present.
Conclusion
Of course, not every fashion choice defines a person entirely. But small preferences, like choosing panties with bows, can offer glimpses into a womanās inner world. Whether itās about feeling beautiful, embracing femininity, or simply enjoying the charm of delicate details, this tiny bow can reveal a lot: playfulness, thoughtfulness, and a deep connection with self-expression.
Ultimately, women who love bows in their lingerie likely embody a blend of softness and strengthāfinding empowerment in the personal and joy in the intimate.
A Strange Call in the Middle of the Night
It was almost three in the morning, the quietest hour of the night. The duty officer sat in the station, staring at the glow of an old computer screen. The clock on the wall ticked slowly, and the man stifled a yawn. Not a single emergency call had come in all night.
Then suddenly, the phone rang.
āPolice station, officer speaking,ā he answered automatically, lifting the receiver.
On the other end came a thin, trembling voice.
āHelloā¦ā
The officer frowned. It was the voice of a little girl, no more than seven years old.
āHello, sweetheart. Why are you calling so late? Where are your parents?ā
āTheyā¦ theyāre in the room,ā she whispered.
āAlright, can you hand the phone to your mom or dad?ā
There was a pause.
āNoā¦ I canāt.ā Her voice grew quieter.
The officerās hand tightened around the phone.
āThen tell me what happened. You only call the police when something important is going on.ā
āIt is importantā¦ā the girl sobbed. āMom and Dad are in the roomā¦ and they arenāt moving.ā
In an instant, the officerās drowsiness disappeared.
āMaybe theyāre just sleeping? Itās very late.ā
āNo. I tried to wake them. Usually, Mom always wakes up when I come inā¦ but not this time.ā
The officerās instincts told him something was terribly wrong.
A Child Alone
āAre there any other adults in the house? Maybe grandparents?ā
āNoā¦ just Mom and Dad.ā
āAlright, then listen to me. Tell me your address.ā He motioned to his partner to get the patrol car ready as he wrote down the girlās words.
Before hanging up, he spoke firmly:
āStay in your room and wait for us. Donāt go anywhere, do you understand?ā
āYesā¦ā came the small reply.
Ten minutes later, the patrol car pulled up in front of a small two-story house on the edge of town. The little girl herself opened the door.
āTheyāre in thereā¦ā she pointed toward the bedroom door.
The officers exchanged glances and stepped inside. What they saw made both men stop in silence.
The Quiet Bedroom
The room was still. On the bed lay a man and a woman. Neither of them stirred. Their faces were pale, their bodies motionless.
āMy Lordā¦ā one officer whispered.
They quickly called for an ambulance and the investigation team. There were no signs of violence, no signs of a struggle. But when the air was tested, the truth became clear. A gas leak had filled the house. The parents had been overcome in their sleep.
A Miracle of Survival
The little girl survived only by a miracle. Her bedroom was on the second floor, where the heavy gas reached more slowly. And by chance, her habit of waking at night and leaving the door open had let a faint breeze inside. That small bit of fresh air saved her.
Doctors later confirmed that she had breathed in dangerous fumes as well, so she was rushed to the hospital. Thankfully, her condition soon stabilized.
A Choice That Saved a Life
If the duty officer had dismissed her wordsāif he had thought it was only a childish imagination or a silly jokeāshe might have shared the same fate as her parents.
Because he chose to listen, a little girl was given another chance at life.

Hurricane Kiko is currently moving across the Pacific Ocean and is expected to pass near the Hawaiian Islands early this week. As of September 7, the storm is classified as a Category 3 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds around 115 mph.
Forecasters from the National Hurricane Center report that Kiko is on a gradual weakening trend as it moves closer to the state.
Expected Impacts Even if the storm does not make a direct landfall, it could still bring heavy rain, dangerous surf, and localized flooding to parts of Hawaii. Meteorologists warn that flash flooding and landslides are possible, especially in low-lying or mountainous areas. Strong rip currents and large waves are expected along east-facing shores, creating hazardous ocean conditions.
Emergency Preparations Hawaii has declared a statewide emergency to ensure resources and support are ready. Emergency officials are encouraging residents to prepare by gathering supplies, staying informed through reliable alerts, and knowing evacuation routes if needed. Taking proactive steps now can help reduce risks as the storm approaches.
Historical Context Direct hurricane hits in Hawaii are rare, making Kikoās close approach a significant event for the islands. With hurricane season continuing through November, experts remind the public to stay prepared and aware of weather updates throughout the coming months.
