11 Things To Know About Moving Cross-Country For A Better Life As Remote Work Becomes The Norm
Moving to flyover country was one of the best decisions we've ever made. It has been good for us financially, spiritually, and relationally.
A murder suspect out on bond has been apprehended after going on the run with his pet Bengal tiger who was found running loose Sunday in a Houston neighborhood.
Several videos began circulating online from witnesses in a West Houston neighborhood, showing what one onlooker observed was an adult "freakin' Bengal tiger" crouched in a yard, wearing a collar.

Multiple videos show a man wearing a black shirt — later reported to be an off-duty sheriff's deputy — holding a gun on the beast, poised to shoot, but he does not. In one, he tells the purported owner of the predator, "F*** you and your f***ing tiger. Get the f*** back inside."
But later video shows the presumed owner walking the tiger back to a residence as the deputy (with his gun lowered) yells repeatedly, "GET THE TIGER BACK INSIDE!"
In clips obtained by ABC News, a child can be heard asking, "There's a tiger in the neighborhood? Like, why would he even be here?"

Fox News reported that once deputies arrived, the owner of the tiger loaded the big cat into a white Jeep Cherokee and fled. Officers took chase, but the Jeep got away.
According to Buzzfeed News, Houston police later identified the tiger owner as Victor Hugo Cuevas, 26, who was out on bond after facing a murder charge from an unrelated incident in November.
The outlet noted that "fleeing from police and being in possession of the tiger could violate his bond terms." Tigers are not allowed within the city limits of Houston. Authorities are also seeking two monkeys Cuevas is believed to own.
"My main concern right now is focusing on finding him and finding the tiger because what I don't want him to do is harm that tiger. We have plenty of places we can take that tiger and keep it safe and give it a home for the rest of its life," Houston police Commander Ron Borza said during a news conference Monday.
"If that tiger was to get out and start doing some damage yesterday, I'm sure one of these citizens would have shot the tiger," Borza added. "We have plenty of neighbors out here with guns and we don't want to see that. It's not the animal's fault. It's the breeder's fault. It's unacceptable."
The landlord of the property where the tiger and monkeys are believed to have been kept reportedly told KHOU-TV that the tenants initially told him they did not own any pets, and he has begun the eviction process.
ABC News reported late Monday that Cuevas "is now in custody, according to Houston police, but the 'whereabouts of the tiger are not yet known.'"
Three people were killed — including a child — and one person was injured when a small plane crashed into a residential neighborhood in Pembroke Pines, Florida, Monday afternoon, WTVJ-TV reported.
Surveillance video from a home just feet away captured the moment the plane hit the right side of an SUV before careening across a street and bursting into flames.

After impact, the SUV ended up across the street facing in the opposite direction from which it had been traveling. Pembroke Pines Police told the station the crash occurred near Southwest 72nd Avenue and Southwest 13th Street.

The two people on the plane were killed at the scene, fire rescue officials told WTVJ, while an adult and child in the SUV were taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in serious condition. The station, citing sources, said the adult was later released while the child died late Monday night.
Authorities identified the deceased child as 4-year-old Taylor Bishop, WPLJ-TV reported.
His mother, who also was in the SUV, was identified at a Broward School Board meeting Tuesday as Megan Bishop, WPLJ said, adding that she's a paraprofessional at Hollywood Hills Elementary School.

While Megan and Taylor Bishop were injured, Taylor was trapped and had to be extricated, WPLJ reported, adding that first responders said he was wearing a seatbelt.
Aerial footage showed firefighters spraying down the plane wreckage against an airport fence across the street from the residential neighborhood, WTVJ reported, adding that other pieces of the plane were scattered around the scene of the accident.
Federal Aviation Administration officials told WTVJ the single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff from the airport around 3 p.m.
Witnesses told WPLJ they saw the plane circling back toward the runway before it took out a power line and crashed.
Annabelle Fernandez told WTVJ she was nearby when the plane went down.
"We heard a tremendous noise, and we went out and everybody was on fire, everything was bad," Fernandez said. "It got to the car. It was a mother with her kid, and we don't know what happened to them. The fire rescue came, and they got them."
The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will be investigating the crash, WTVJ added.
