SUMMARY: Last week, a hiker named Juanarez fractured her leg while hiking in the Los Angeles National Forest. Despite being in a remote area without cell service, Juanarez was able to use her iPhone 14's emergency SOS feature to contact first responders via satellite connection. This is the third satellite call that the L.A County search and rescue team has received this month. In previous instances, an iPhone's emergency text and an SOS message sent by a stranded group of teenagers led rescuers to their location. Personal location beacons and soon-to-be-available satellite communication on certain Android phones offer similar functionalities. For Juanarez, her phone was her lifeline and saved her life.

A stranded hiker in a remote Los Angeles canyon had no service but had her iPhone 14 which has a new SOS feature that allows a 911 call to go via satellite. NBC ' Erin McLaughlin has more details on the rescue.

What’s going on with the Lake Livingston Dam? KPRC 2 digs into the problem, finds answers on the fix

SUMMARY: This report highlights two significant issues discovered along the Trinity River, affecting the dam and surrounding infrastructure. The first issue, found in May, involves erosion around a westward training wall, leading to partial failure. The second, discovered last week, involves severe erosion at the base of a support structure near the dam’s apron, prompting federal emergency alerts. In response, the Trinity River Authority is taking three major actions: lowering Lake Livingston’s water level, moving 100 truckloads of rock daily, and pumping concrete for essential repairs. These measures aim to ensure the dam’s safety before any tropical storms hit, with final repairs expected by month’s end.

Nearly a week after the Trinity River Authority declared a “potential failure watch” for the Lake Livingston Dam, we’re learning about the damage done during flooding earlier this year.
