    In this far-fetched year some teams have had to put a pause on fans. 

    With the help of some parents, Farmington girls swimming and diving head coach Jen Marshall surprised the team at their first virtual meet.

    They put up pictures of their families and also their dogs.

    It brings a sense of normalcy for the student-athletes and it motivates them in the pool.

    Hurricane Sally didn’t just bring massive floods and downed power lines to the Gulf Coast — it also left a few natural dangers in its wake. Tina Bennett, who lives in Gulf Shores, Alabama, shared video with CBS affiliate WKRG of a giant alligator swimming through the waters surging outside her residence after Sally made landfall on Wednesday.

    “Oh my god, this is outside of our window!” Bennett can be heard saying in the video. “It is a 10 or 12-foot alligator!”

    Ryan Lochte said his “No. 1” gold medal from his first individual Olympic title in 2008 has gone missing.

    “I don’t know where it is,” Lochte told Graham Bensinger in an interview clip published Wednesday. “I have a couple guesses.”

    Lochte believed a former agent or his mom had the medal, but said they told him they don’t have it.

  • Sink Or Swim? Asia’s Sinking Villages Engulfed By Rising Seas | The Longest Day | Climate Change

    By 2050, rising sea levels will flood 200 million people’s homes across the globe. For thousands across Asia, this is already a reality. In this episode, we travel to some of the worst affected places on Asia’s coastline, spending 24 hours with the families living at the whim of an unpredictable ocean. Every day, from the Bay of Bengal to Java Island, families are facing flooding, storms, dwindling fish stocks and waterborne diseases. From dawn to dusk, we witness the resilience of those fighting on the frontlines. Villagers build their houses on stilts, intrepid doctors travel on boat clinics, and families plant entire mangrove forests, growing natural sea walls on their doorsteps. For some, it is too late. We meet climate migrants working menial jobs Kolkata, forced to flee after their farm was decimated by floods. Every day, the tide rises higher, storms get stronger and oceans get warmer. Will those that live by the coasts adapt or are they facing a losing battle?
