A Florida woman has been arrested, accused of swindling a man out of more than $2,000 in an alleged romance scam, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said. Deputies said Gianna Abel-Venezia met her victim via Facebook Dating and claimed she was trapped in a domestic violence relationship and needed help. That man sent her more than $2,000, officials said.  He confronted the woman about it, who apparently admitted to scamming him. She also reportedly said that she had been doing this since 2025. When interviewed, Abel-Venezia told deputies that she knew what she was doing was morally wrong, but claimed that if people were "dumb enough" to send her money, that was on them, MCSO said. She was arrested and booked into jail. Detectives believe there could be more victims out there.

The NOAA Hurricane Hunters are always looking to the future to see how they can be the most technologically advanced team to study hurricanes and keep us safe when the next storm strikes. The P3 Orion aircrafts, cleverly named "Kermit" and "Miss Piggy" have been flying into storms for over 50 years - and soon it will be time to pay tribute to their "inspirational , celebrational and Muppetational" careers. The current planes were first introduced to the fleet in the 1970s where the P3 Orion aircrafts were nicknamed "the pig". Then in the 1990s a few engineers working on the incredible planes coined the name "miss piggy" and the Muppet name trend then spread to all of the aircrafts in the fleet. But after years of flying its soon time for the curtain to close on the Muppet show. The P3 Orions will be phased out for two specialized C-130J Hercules aircrafts to become the next generation of NOAA hurricane hunter aircrafts.
