BREAKING NEWS BRIEF
Police say one man is dead after a skydiving accident
If you’ve ever considered skydiving, stories like this one will have you thinking twice.
Over the weekend, a tragic accident in Florida led to one man’s death, and a close call for a second skydiver.
After jumping out of a plane, the pair crashed into one another, their open parachutes tangling them together. The man who died was unable to reopen his parachute after the collision, unlike the other skydiver.
Authorities arrived at the DeLand Municipal Airport on Sunday to find the man’s body in the parking lot, where he had landed, hard.
Witnesses attempted to save the man by giving him first aid, but their efforts were unsuccessful.
The man’s name, as well as the identity of the other skydiver, has not been released.

WEATHER UPDATE
What is an ice jam and how did it flood this entire Alaskan village?
An entire Alaskan village is underwater due to an ice jam of historic proportions.
Ice jams are common during spring in Alaska, but they rarely cause flooding to the extent that the Buckland community is now facing. An ice jam occurs when temperatures rise and river ice melts and begins to break up. Large chunks of ice are then carried downstream and can become lodged in narrow river passages, blocking the flow of the river.
That is unfortunately what happened in Buckland, Alaska. Once the river became blocked with ice, water continued to flow furiously downstream and flooded the entire community. The Buckland mayor described the flooding as the worst he has seen in decades.

This famous parent shares her hack for clothes shopping for her kids
Nicky Hilton Rothschild shares that she feels as if she’s constantly buying new clothes for her daughters, Theodora “Teddy” Marilyn, 3, and Lily-Grace Victoria, 4½. “I feel like I’m constantly shopping because, at this age, my girls are growing so fast,” she says, adding, “I always buy them a size up. My daughters are very girly, so they love dresses, which makes getting dressed a bit easier. I’m not constantly searching for tops and bottoms. Teddy, my 3-year-old, definitely gets a lot of hand-me-downs from her big sister!”
The mom of two adds that she always aims for “comfort and quality” when finding clothes for her girls, explaining that she likes dungarees because “there is something so sweet and innocent about them, not to mention how practical they are.”
