homes are destroyed in the big storm

On Tuesday morning Queens was declared to have the highest risk of being flooded, yet over 50 homes were on fire. Hurricane Sandy was making its way through New York last night leaving its mark pretty noticeable, the high winds, the flooding and the fires make it very noticeable that something bad happened. Firefighters were out all  night trying to help. The water was so high that they had to go out in boats. Luckily the president had signed a 'major disaster declaration' for these areas, basically telling everyone to get out of the area because it was unsafe. Some of the blazes were unable to get to, and get put out. most everyone got out of the houses that we know of. There are still many people stranded because of the storm, with no power or food.

Can whales talk like humans?

This week it was proven that other animals are just as curious as we are. In San Diego a white whale named Noc sounded like he was trying to mimic humans. The only time he tries was when humans were near him in the water. Words are not actually coming out of his mouth, but its the sounds that we would make. Its another step closer to other species understanding us and vise-versa. If you watch the video its pretty cool to see. He is being closely watched by a team of marine biologists.

Robin Roberts comes home

Robin Roberts is a huge face for 'Good Morning America' but she has had to take a break from the show because she had to have a bone marrow transplant to treat her MDS. MDS is myelodysplastic syndrome which affect the bone marrow and the blood. Just like any disease it can be mild and not that bad while others might be life threatening. Robin finally got home last Wednesday after having to be at the hospital for a month. As of right now everything seems to be going great. She will be returning to 'GMA' as soon as she knows she is 100% good again. As of right now she is laying low at home, she still has to be careful because of the transplant she has a new immune system, making it not protecting as well as it should. She has to be careful with what she does. She tweeted "there's no place like home", she is happy and thankful.

Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj Fight Behind the Scenes

This week Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey got in a huge fight on the show 'American Idol'. During the fight Nicki Minaj threatened Carey saying "If i had a gun, i would shoot the b***h." Because of what Nicki said it has made Carey feel very uncomfortable, and she is a little bit scared for herself and her family. Carey still wants to do the show because she loves helping younger people try and accomplish what shes done with her life. She loves being a mentor and helping everyone. But with this still she is very scared, she has had more security hired for herself, and is watching her kids closely. Nicki still wont admit to saying what she apparently said. They are both still working close to each other on the set, but they said they wouldn't mess things up. Nicki said that they would get in more fights, Carey just replied with "no, we will not." The fighting between them will also bring the ratings up on the TV show.

Girl Killed Before Testifying in Court

Last Thursday was the last time Shania Gray was seen. This 16 year old had reported that she had been sexually abused by Franklin Davis. They had known each other because Gray was his babysitter, and since he abused her she would not go back to babysit. He even went to threatening her if she told anyone about what he did. Eventually her grandmother got curious as to why she would not babysit anymore. Gray had no choice but to tell her. On Thursday he talked to her, she did not know it was him. She thought it was someone wondering about the trial. She went to a park nearby and then went down by the river where they were supposed too meet. The conversation did not last long, until he shot her and stepped on her neck and threw her body into the river. It was her third day at school, and she had only been out of school for about a hour until she was murdered. He is now being charged with murder and sexual abuse. His bail is $2 million. Davis confessed to murdering her once the police found the body.
