TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Good Samaritans are helping each other in the wake of Hurrican Ian

You’ve probably seen the footage and photos coming out of Florida after Hurricane Ian ripped through the state this week. It left a lot of people stranded, homes and lives destroyed. But with any disaster of this scale you always have a bright spot of people helping each other. Here are a few of the good stories coming out of Florida that have gone viral:

This video of a 29-year-old guy in southwest Florida named Mike Ross who saved a cat stuck in Hurricane Ian.

A reporter in Orlando saved a nurse by carrying her through floodwaters after she got stranded in her car.

A group of people saved an older guy from a flooded vehicle near Fort Myers.

Wishing the best to everyone down there and the recovery efforts.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do brides have bridesmaids?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do brides have bridesmaids?

Fall wedding season is here. I feel like there are SO many weddings in the fall now. Makes sense with how beautiful the weather is this time of year. Today’s mystery…. why do brides have bridesmaids?

It’s now more of a tradition than anything to give the bride moral support from her friends and family she’s closest with on her big day. They also help out with anything she needs leading up to the wedding and during the ceremony. But that wasn’t always the reason.

As legend has it way back in the day the purpose of having bridesmaids was to confuse any evil spirits who might want to harm the bride. Feels very Game of Thrones-ish.
