Thank you to all who have given to the Homes for Hope fundraising campaign to help repair and rebuild the homes of those who lost everything in the flood.

Oh no, not again. Just when I-40 was poised to reopen with one lane in each direction. On the bright side, crews had detected the warning signs of a crack forming earlier in the week — suggesting it is possible to keep tabs on areas "at risk" of fresh slides. So hopefully reopening partial lanes isn't totally off the table, even though this one came pretty darn close to the median .
