HUALIEN, Taiwan \u2014\u00a0Taiwan\u2019s fire department on Thursday revised down to 14 the death toll from a typhoon this week on its remote east coast, as rescuers continued to search for 33 people still missing amid thick, black mud and scenes of devastation.<\/p>\n

The deaths happened after\u00a0Super Typhoon Ragasa\u2019s outer bands brought heavy rain to Hualien county, causing a barrier lake in the mountains to overflow and unleash a wall of water onto the small town of Guangfu.<\/p>\n

Having said the previous day that 17 had died, the fire department adjusted that to 14, saying some casualties had been counted twice.<\/p>\n

It put the new number of missing at 33, a figure that had hit 152 on Wednesday, as the government searches for people reported out of contact.<\/p>\n

In downtown Guangfu, residents and rescuers, including soldiers, used shovels, buckets and diggers to remove the mud and stones carried by the floodwaters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s too risky to return home now. We must make sure people are aware of the potential danger, especially the elderly,\u201d said Esther Chen, 26, who was volunteering for relief efforts.<\/p>\n

Taiwan Premier Cho Jung-tai said the deaths, which mostly happened on the first floors of buildings, must be investigated and that authorities must \u201cseize the golden rescue window\u201d to find the missing.<\/p>\n

While Guangfu\u2019s train station is back in operation, the main highway has been cut off after the floodwaters swept away the bridge.<\/p>\n

Taiwan President\u00a0Lai Ching-te\u00a0on Wednesday pledged a month of his salary to relief efforts for displaced residents, and was set to visit the disaster zone later on Thursday.<\/p>\n

While it has stopped raining, the government has maintained its warnings for the barrier dam in a remote mountain area behind Guangfu.<\/p>\n

Agriculture Minister Chen Junne-jih told reporters in Taipei that blowing up the bank holding back the lake with explosives was too dangerous given it could exacerbate the problem with more landslides.<\/p>\n

For millions of fans,\u00a0Randy Owen<\/strong>\u00a0will forever be remembered as the voice that carried Alabama to the pinnacle of country music. His songs filled stadiums, his lyrics resonated with hardworking families, and his voice became woven into the very fabric of America\u2019s soundtrack. But beyond the blinding stage lights and roaring applause, Randy\u2019s most cherished role has always been the one closest to home.<\/p>\n

Born in December 1949 in the rolling hills of\u00a0Fort Payne, Alabama<\/strong>, Randy never lost sight of where he came from. Even as Alabama climbed to superstardom with decades of relentless touring, countless awards, and millions of albums sold, his roots remained steady. The fame never pulled him far from the soil that shaped him.<\/p>\n

Through it all, Randy\u2019s heart has always belonged to his wife,\u00a0Kelly<\/strong>, and the family they lovingly built together. Behind every encore and every standing ovation was a quieter devotion \u2014 evenings spent rocking on the porch, sharing stories with their children, and listening to the laughter of grandchildren echo across the family farm.<\/p>\n

For Randy, these simple moments were never second to music \u2014 they were the music. A song of love, faith, and belonging that only grew sweeter with time.<\/p>\n

Now, at\u00a075 years old<\/strong>, Randy speaks less of chart-topping singles and sold-out arenas, and more about the legacy that truly defines his life. His pride shines brightest as he watches his children step into parenthood and his grandchildren carry the Owen name forward with strength, joy, and resilience.<\/p>\n

Fans will always remember the music. The world will never forget the hits. But Randy Owen\u2019s greatest legacy \u2014 the one he and Kelly have quietly nurtured for a lifetime \u2014 is not measured in records sold or awards won. It lives in the enduring strength of a family whose love has outlasted fame, time, and the final curtain call.<\/p>\n

Bruce Willis, the beloved Hollywood star known for iconic roles in\u00a0Die Hard,\u00a0Armageddon, and\u00a0The Fifth Element, is now battling frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a devastating brain disease.

That\u2019s all that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
