Minnesota hiker vanishes in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, leaving wife 'trying to stay strong' for their kids
A Minnesota hiker has now been missing for more than a week after disappearing in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, with his wife saying that she is "trying to stay strong for the kids." Grant Gardner made contact with his wife on July 29 "letting her know he'd made it to the summit" of the 13,000-foot Cloud Peak, but has not been heard from since, according to the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office. The agency launched a search and rescue operation in what it described as "extreme and very challenging" conditions. "He solo hikes, and he's been hiking for over a decade," his wife Lauren Gardner told Cowboy State Daily. "He's used to this stuff, and he's very detail oriented." "It's all definitely surreal," she reportedly added. "And I'm in shock, I think, and trying to stay strong for the kids. This has never happened in all the years he's gone out. He knows what he's doing and has the skills. I'm just hoping right now." The missing 38-year-old is a father of two children, ages 13 and 11, the outlet reported. The Big Horn County Sheriff's Office said Gardner had planned an approximate 3-day hike "through the Misty Moon Lake area, eventually summiting Cloud Peak, and returning to his vehicle completing his journey." Phone records show he reached the summit of Cloud Peak around 7 p.m. on July 29 and sent a text to his wife indicating that "the climb was more taxing than he expected and he was tired," according to authorities. "The late summit of 7:00pm at 13,000 feet was and is concerning due to the lack of visible trails through cliffs, timber line, boulder fields, and other hazards that had to be navigated after dark before reaching clear trails and safe terrain," Big Horn County Sheriff Ken Blackburn said. Police said Gardner's vehicle later was found by searchers in the same parking lot where he began his trip. "The search is rapidly evolving and ongoing in the Cloud Peak Wilderness area. In addition to high altitude and terrain challenges, difficult weather patterns including winds, thunder and lightning storms have made search efforts difficult at various times of the day," the Sheriff's Office said in a search update this week. "Search and rescue teams from South Big Horn County, Sheridan County, Johnson County, Washakie County, and Park County Wyoming along with other rotor aircraft from First Flight of Wyoming, Wyoming Army National Guard, and private aircraft" are assisting in the effort, they also said. "The Big Horn County Sheriff's Office is requesting anyone who may have had contact with Gardner, please report to the Big Horn County Sheriff's Office at 307-568-2324 or the Wyoming Missing Person Tip line on the Wyoming DCI website," police said.

Over 9,000 San Fernando Valley customers face water outage as LADWP crews repair infrastructure
Vehicles began lining up at free bottled water distribution sites in the San Fernando Valley on Wednesday morning after the water supply was essentially cut off as Los Angeles Department of Water and Power crews were conducting emergency infrastructure repair work. Over 9,000 LADWP customers in the Granada Hills and Porter Ranch area are "experiencing water disruptions," according to the agency. The LADWP said emergency repair work was being done Tuesday afternoon at a pump station that connects to a 10-million-gallon water tank that serves the area when "a valve that controls the flow of water from the pump station to a tank serving the area failed to open." As a result, water flowing into Granada Hills and Porter Ranch was cut off. Meanwhile, repair work and water restoration efforts are underway. Crews connected a mobile high-powered water pump to the system in the Porter Ranch area to resupply water to the tank. Repair work to the valve 20 feet underground will happen once crews finish digging to reach it. LADWP said that repairs are estimated to be complete on Friday. The following drinking water distribution sites are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday:

How to choose the right storm shutters in South Florida this hurricane season
With the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season reaching its most dangerous point, South Florida homeowners are once again preparing for the possibility of destructive tropical storms and hurricanes. Installing storm shutters remains a critical step to safeguard homes from powerful winds and flying debris, officials say. These protective barriers, designed to shield windows and doors, are more than a precaution — they're a necessity in High Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ) like Miami-Dade and Broward counties, where strict building codes require durable defenses. CBS News Miami has put together a guide covering what you need to know about storm shutters: from types and materials to costs, codes and common pitfalls, to help ensure your home is storm-ready. Storm shutters are coverings installed over windows, doors, and other openings to protect homes from hurricane-force winds, airborne debris, and water intrusion. In Miami-Dade and Broward, shutters must meet stringent standards to withstand winds up to 175 mph and impacts from large objects. Common types of storm shutters include: Accordion shutters Folding shutters that slide on tracks, offering permanent installation and easy operation. Popular for their durability and compliance with HVHZ standards. Roll-down shutters Sleek, motorized or manual shutters that roll down from a housing above the opening. Known for strong protection and remote operation. Bahama shutters Tropical-style shutters with fixed louvers, hinged at the top. When hurricane-rated, they provide both shade and storm protection. Colonial shutters Traditional shutters that swing closed from the sides. Visually appealing and storm-safe when HVHZ-approved. Storm panels Removable panels made from metal or polycarbonate, installed ahead of storms. Cost-effective and compliant when tested for HVHZ. Hurricane fabric Lightweight, resin-coated fabric deployed over openings. Approved for HVHZ when properly certified, such as with Florida Product Approval FL15208. Plywood A temporary, affordable solution. Only code-compliant when meeting Florida Building Code (FBC) specifications — less common due to HVHZ restrictions. In South Florida, accordion, roll-down, and storm panels are the most popular options due to their balance of protection, ease of use, and code compliance. Aluminum Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and commonly used in accordion, roll-down, Bahama, and panel shutters. Durable and low-maintenance — ideal for South Florida's humid climate. Steel Heavier and stronger than aluminum, often used in panels. Offers excellent protection but is prone to corrosion near the coast unless treated. Polycarbonate Used in clear panels and some fabrics. Translucent, impact-resistant and lightweight, but can scratch or yellow over time. Hurricane fabric A UV-resistant, flexible, resin-coated hybrid. Weighs about 8 oz/sq. yd. Easy to store and deploy, though less durable than metal. Plywood Inexpensive and temporary. Prone to water damage and not suitable for long-term use in HVHZ unless installed to FBC standards. Composite materials Found in some Bahama and Colonial shutters, often combining fiberglass or polycarbonate. Durable and stylish, though more expensive. Best overall choice: Aluminum offers the best mix of strength, corrosion resistance, and HVHZ compliance, especially in accordion and roll-down systems, according to experts and county officials. The cost of storm shutters depends on type, size, materials, and complexity. In Miami-Dade and Broward, expect to pay $2,000 to $8,000+ for a typical home. Price breakdown: Accordion shutters: $15–$30 per sq. ft.; total installation: $3,000–$4,000+ Roll-down shutters: $25–$60 per sq. ft. (motorized options cost more); installation: $3,000–$10,000+ Installation tips: Always use licensed contractors and secure county permits. Installations take 1-3 days, depending on number of openings. Installers must use HVHZ-approved products and follow all specifications. Under the Florida Building Code (FBC), all shutters must pass rigorous tests: Large missile impact test: 9-pound 2x4 at 34 mph. Cyclic pressure test: 9,000 cycles of positive/negative pressure. Wind load resistance: Up to 175 mph in HVHZ. Miami-Dade product approval: Must carry a verifiable Notice of Acceptance (NOA). Permits are required for permanent shutter installation. Some temporary solutions (e.g., panels or plywood) may not require permits, but check with your city or county first. Permitting involves: Submitting product NOA and engineering drawings. Post-installation inspection by local building departments. Helpful links: Miami-Dade Product Control Search Broward County Building Permits Florida Building Code Online Unapproved products Always confirm NOA numbers through the Miami-Dade Product Control Search. Improper installation Skimping on anchoring or not following manufacturer specs can lead to failure. No permits Unpermitted shutters may result in fines or removal orders. Inadequate testing Using products not HVHZ-rated is a major risk. Plywood misuse Must be at least 5/8" thick and fastened with appropriate anchors. Unlicensed contractors Avoid installers who can't legally pull permits or guarantee code compliance. Lack of maintenance Rusted tracks, missing bolts, or cracked panels can compromise safety. Before hurricane season peaks, make sure your storm shutters are properly installed, tested, and up to code. Non-compliance can lead to fines, failed inspections, or worst of all: property damage and injury during a storm.
