My BlueSky skyline (that's the timeline, but sky-themed) is blowing up today over the news that a big boat is stuck.

Imagine my surprise when, upon further reading, I learn that...the big boat is stuck very close to my hometown 😳

Working remotely with a global community can make the world feel so big that when something happens close to home, it feels like a one in a million occurrence.

So, here's my question: has a wild viral story ever happened close to your hometown or place of residence? Please share!
