AIRPLANE CRASH SCARE IN BOCA RATON: Fire Rescue On Standby For Troubled Aircraft

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A Cessna landed safely just before 8 a.m. Monday after Boca Raton Fire Rescue was on standby for a possible crash. The Boca Raton Airport control tower alerted around 7:40 this morning that the Cessna was suffering an electrical problem — possibly an alternator that was not working. The fear: the plane would land without any electrical power whatsoever. While this is not unprecedented, it’s not ideal. Boca Raton Fire Rescue rushed to the airport with a huge contingent of rescuers ready to respond. You may have seen them if you were on Airport Road. The good news: the plane did not lose power and landed safely, then taxied to an area of the airport for emergency response. Both people on the plane exited without a problem.

The Miami attorney sent 435 text messages - after the restraining order

A North Miami Beach lawyer claims her psychological state after going through a hysterectomy clouded her ability to fully understand the injunction against stalking to which she agreed. An Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest report says Ginna Arevalo understood it well enough to not send the other party 435 text messages, including one that said “Just bc I am a dangerous person who wants to harm you, your daughter, and your employees.” An Orange County jury concurred, convicting Arevalo of aggravated stalking after injunction. With that July verdict, the state Supreme Court hit Arevalo in October with a suspension from the Florida Bar. That’ll be in effect until the professional discipline case is heard by case referee Judge Ariana Fajardo Orshan. Meanwhile, Arevalo’s appealed her conviction while beginning to serve her probation that’s scheduled to run until Jan. 13, 2031. Arevalo’s been a member of the Bar since 2017 with a previously clean discipline record.

VR tool reveals how sea level rise could swamp Fort Lauderdale

As sea levels rise and weather patterns change, low-lying, coastal South Florida is likely to see flooding that becomes more frequent and severe . Parts of Fort Lauderdale, which has been affected by such events in recent years, are especially vulnerable. Researchers at Florida Atlantic University have developed a virtual reality simulation that models the possible future effects of flooding in the city, portraying the potential combined effects of king tides , regular storms and various feet of sea level rise. The simulation provides the viewer with a slider to raise and lower possible flood levels — various stages show even inland neighborhoods largely inundated. "The point of the VR is to take these very complex calculations and put them into a format that people can understand, and also relate to," Serena Hoermann, director for the Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions at FAU, who spearheaded the project, told the USA TODAY Network. The model demonstrates " illustrative scenarios, not predictions ," she said in the release. King tides may provide glimpse into possible future flooding Parts of South Florida have repeatedly been inundated recently due to king tides, and, according to Miami-Dade County , the annual flooding is only
