After getting lost in Yellowstone, this precious cat made his way back home to California. This story is a tale of perseverance and love. As he tried to make his way home, a cat named Rayne Beau became the real-life Sassy from the film Homeward Bound.

What started as another camping trip for Californians Susanne Anguiano and her husband Benny became a tragic loss. They were enjoying the last few days of vacation when their two-year-old cat, Rayne Beau, went missing. He got startled and ran off, but no amount of his favorite treats, cat calls, or toys could bring him back. Heartbroken, Benny and Susanne made the 900-mile journey back home, leaving the hope of finding Rayne Beau behind. "We had to leave without him," Susanne said. "That was the hardest day because I felt like I was abandoning him." With grief-filled hearts, they never gave up hope of finding Rayne Beau. It became apparent that his sister, Starr, was missing him, too. A month after he vanished, they opted to fill the void by adopting another cat to help with the loss.

Rayne Beau had been found a mere 190 miles from his home in Roseville, California, which meant he had somehow traveled most of the 900 miles home!

This is another Hurricane Katrina. The effects of this storm will be felt for years. Many states are suffering. It's so important that we stay on top of this since the media is hardly covering it.

On Sunday morning, hundreds lined up at a Harris Teeter in North Asheville with hopes of purchasing water and other goods that are in short supply. Mel Salla, a resident of the River Arts District neighborhood, said she arrived at 6 a.m. to make sure she could purchase water from the grocery store, which opened around 8 a.m. on Sunday morning. Before the grocery store even opened, the line was astoundingly long – with hundreds of people winding through the store’s parking lot and along Merrimon Avenue. The grocery store allowed 10 people in at a time. Officials from the City of Asheville and Buncombe County have not released a plan for distributing food or water to its residents yet. At a press conference this morning, Buncombe County Manager Avril Pinder said that trucks of food and water are on their way, but have been stuck in transit. “In North Carolina, floodwaters have rendered cell service and local roads useless in the state’s largest mountain city, Asheville. Supplies are being airlifted to the region, but many residents remain stranded and isolated. NewsNation’s Mills Hayes has more on the ground in Asheville,” NewsNation wrote. WATCH: Asheville Citizen Times reports: For days, Buncombe County officials have said water is on the way and distribution sites will be set up. As of a 4 p.m. media briefing Sept. 29, it was still unclear when that would happen. Earlier in the day, the City of Asheville released a statement that said fully restoring water to city’s system might take weeks. On Sunday, children at Pisgah View played with a downed tree limb, hanging it off the edge of the playground’s jungle gym. Brown, who residents acknowledged kept an eye on her neighbors’ well-being, yelled at them to stop. And they listened. “I’m Aunt Julie,” Brown said. “Everyone here calls me Aunt Julie.” At a unit around the corner, resident Sabrina Commons, 45, told the Citizen Times that her family, which includes four young children, has “no water, no lights – we can’t even flush our commodes.” Even if they could access water, residents were unsure how they could even purchase it, as many stores, if open, are only accepting cash.

Hundreds of soldiers from the Tennessee National Guard departed for a deployment to the Middle East while the state battled catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Helene. “More than 700 Soldiers from the Tennessee Army National Guard’s 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment are departing Saturday, September 28, on the first leg of a year-long deployment to the Middle East,” the Tennessee Department of Military stated. “A third of the state is currently underwater. Why are they being shipped overseas instead of being deployed to help their own people?” Sean Davis, CEO of The Federalist, wrote. A third of the state is currently underwater. Why are they being shipped overseas instead of being deployed to help their own people? https://t.co/d0IfpRCjZN — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) September 29, 2024 From the Tennessee Department of Military: The Task Force, comprised primarily of Soldiers from the 278th’s 2nd Squadron, will initially deploy to Fort Bliss, Texas, for a few weeks of additional deployment training before flying to Kuwait. “Our servicemembers have spent the last year conducting rigorous training and preparing to deploy in support of Operation Spartan Shield,” said Lt. Col. Jason Tomberlin, commander of the Task Force. “As an extremely formidable force of deterrence in the Middle East, we will accomplish our mission with dignity and honor, and look forward to returning home when our job is complete.” Operation Spartan Shield builds partnerships in the Middle East to promote regional self-reliance and increase security. As a part of U.S. Central Command, the Tennessee Soldiers will assist maintaining a military posture in the region, help strengthen defense relationships, and serve as an enhanced force throughout the area. Prior to departing Tennessee, Task Force units in Cookeville, Crossville, Gordonsville, and Morrison will hold departure ceremonies for the Soldiers where families and friends can honor them for their service.
