Flash Floods Submerge Southern Minnesota; I-90 Closures Prompt Rescues in Austin, Adams, LeRoy

Heavy rainfall caused flash floods across southern Minnesota, trapping people and pets in Adams and LeRoy and flooding Austin; I-90 was closed overnight due to water over the freeway and reopened by sunrise after rescues. 4–7 inches of rain fell in Mower County, Beaver Creek Valley State Park remains closed for debris cleanup, and damage assessments are planned as flood warnings linger for the Cedar River and local creeks. A heat wave is forecast for Sunday into next week.

Ariana Grande Enjoys a Friendly Reunion with Ex Ricky Alvarez in Austin

Ariana Grande was spotted in Austin, Texas, this week with her ex Ricky Alvarez, just two weeks after news of her split from Ethan Slater. They were photographed dining at De Nada Cantina during Grande’s Eternal Sunshine Tour birthday stop, but sources say the gathering was friendly with friends and not a romantic reunion. Grande and Alvarez dated from 2015–2016, and the sighting underscores a past connection rather than a fresh romance.

Exonerated man's widow decries yogurt shop settlement as 'blood money'

Kimberli and Marisa Pierce, the widow and daughter of Maurice Pierce, will receive a $10 million share of Austin's $35 million settlement tied to the 1991 yogurt shop murders after the four suspects were exonerated in February 2026. They call the payout “blood money” and say the case is about broader reform, outlining seven proposed measures—such as a child advocate for minors, protections against deceptive interrogations, and better rights education and accountability in policing—as they pursue changes beyond financial compensation.
