The U.S. Army’s Special Operations Command has publicly announced and identified the four Soldiers with the “Night Stalkers” of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR(A) that were killed in last week’s crash of an MH-60M “Black Hawk” Helicopter near Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State, as:
-Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew Cully, 35, from Sparta, MO
-Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew Kraus, 39, from Sanibel, FL
-Sgt. Donavon Scott, 25, from Tacoma, WA
-Sgt. Jadalyn Good, 23, from Mount Vernon, WA
“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm the loss of four courageous Night Stalkers from the 4th Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), who tragically lost their lives on Sept. 17th during a training mission.,” said Col. Stephen Smith, Commander of the 160th SOAR(A). “These exceptional warriors— Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew Cully, Chief Warrant Officer Three Andrew Kraus, Sgt. Donavon Scott, and Sgt. Jadalyn Good — embodied the unwavering dedication, selflessness, and excellence that define the very spirit of the Army and Army Special Operations. Their sacrifice in service to our nation will forever be etched in our hearts and in the legacy of the Night Stalkers. These heroes were not only elite professionals but also cherished teammates, friends, and family members whose absence leaves an immeasurable void.”

The past few weeks have presented challenges unlike anything @USouthFlorida has experienced since our founding in 1956.
Back-to-back major hurricanes have severely impacted our Tampa Bay region, creating a difficult, and in some cases devastating, situation for our students, faculty and staff. We recognize that the recovery process will be lengthy and complex, and our hearts go out to everyone affected by these catastrophic events.
As we gradually ramp up classes and business operations this week, we are urging everyone on our campuses to be patient, understanding and flexible during these unique circumstances.
For those who wish to support our students, faculty and staff who are in need, the USF Foundation offers two funds:
USF United Support Fund: https://t.co/PC0YXE2veu
Employee Hardship Fund: https://t.co/ICS2hr3sSw
The road ahead may be difficult, but our USF Bulls community is incredibly resilient, and we will persevere. Thank you for doing your part and supporting each other as we overcome these challenging times together.

The Tampa Bay Area is currently experiencing the worst storm surge in over 100 years & the water is still rising. Only the Tampa Bay hurricanes of 1921 & 1848 had similar surge heights. Obviously, Tampa Bay was less populated during those events.
Here are a few pictures from Tampa to St. Pete. The full scope of this disaster will become more clear when the sun rises in the morning. Please stay safe.
The Harris campaign should pursue nontraditional interviews:
Put Kamala on the Food Network (she’s a huge cooking enthusiast and foodie)
Put former football coach Tim Walz on ESPN
Meet people where they’re at
Deleted the original “special guest” tweet, but will be leaving the apology up for accuracy’s sake - and shame.
Goodnight, folks.
Back at it tomorrow - we have an election to win.
