Welcome to The Independent's US evening newsletter
A 22-year-old woman has died in the historic Buffalo blizzard after she sent a chilling final video to her family on her way home from work. Anndel Taylor was driving home on Friday afternoon when her car became stranded in the snow. She remained trapped inside the car for around 18 hours while Winter Storm Elliot raged on all around her, her family said. During those terrifying hours, the 22-year-old told her family members she was "scared" and sent two chilling videos capturing the extreme blizzard blowing around her. The first video, sent to her family group chat at around 4.15pm ET on Friday, shows the windshields of her car completely covered in snow. She sent a second video just after midnight on Christmas Eve where she lowered her window slightly to reveal the thick snow and blizzard conditions outside. Taylor's sister Shawnequa Brown told WCOS that she "was telling my sister that she was scared". Sometime later, the family – who are based in Charlotte, North Carolina – lost contact with her.

What are the best Netflix hidden gems you might have missed? |
It's hard to believe that it was just nine years ago that Neflix commissioned its first original content – the political thriller House of Cards. At the time, it was a bold, audacious move, and it seemed almost puzzling that such big names (Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright) were willing to star in a… web-series? Now, though, just about every star is getting in on the action, and you can hardly move for Netflix original content. Which means, of course, that plenty of gems get lost in the noise. Every month, one or two Netflix originals launch a thousand memes – but what about the less buzzy ones? To ensure your new favourite show or film doesn't get lost in the algorithm matrix, here are some of Netflix's best, most underrated originals. |
