Hurricane Ian: Evacuees rescue drowning baby deer from floodwater
You must have come across various wild animal rescue operation videos and images on the internet.
Despite the fact that animals are physically stronger than people, there are still some situations and places in this world where the brute creations lack the necessary ability and do need human help.
In one such incident, a man in the United States recently stepped up to help wildlife when Hurricane Ian hit Florida earlier this week.
Owen Fletcher and his roommates reportedly rescued a baby deer in distress as Hurricane Ian slammed Orlando with flooding rains.
Mr Fletcher, who lives off of University Boulevard, said that the baby deer was struggling to stay above water. He and his roommates then brought it onto their balcony to keep it safe.
When the group was evacuated from their apartment building, they then brought the deer with them to Lake Nona. They now intended to release the baby deer into the wild, Mr Fletcher said, according to news reports.
Meanwhile, the deadly Hurricane Ian, which is one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the United States, had left a trail of devastation. Almost two million customers were without electricity in Florida, out of a total of more than 11 million.
Earlier this week, a video had also surfaced on the internet which captured how Fort Myers Beach was affected by storm surge and flooding caused by Hurricane Ian. -ndtv.com

Message in bottle floats from Canada to Ireland in 13 years
A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com

Woman earns world record for collection of 15,485 egg cups
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
