The last hurricane was really bad for the Big Bend area. People including me sighed a sigh that some relief that it did not hit us directly. Many were not that lucky. We should not get too comfortable at all. This past summer has been record breaking highs.. 100 plus. The waters are hot. The Hurricane season has just gotten started. The date on this info is today. Not very comforting.
Look what I found on the dot gov today.

Two systems starting up and more churning towards Florida and the Carribean.

Today was almost 100 degrees again today.
These systems I fear are starting up not giving up. www.orlandosentinel.com
Climate change is real. What about this do these knuckleheads not understand? September has always been a cliffhanger for Florida in regard to Tropical Storms.
Basically NOAA says not to be concerned in the next 48 hours...Middle of the week is a 90 percent concern for some kind of organization and development. Sigh.
Orlando Sentinel is reporting things but not much from local stations. I guess it is just way too soon after this past booger. We don’t have any local leadership with DeSantis either. He has a presidential run to concentrate on.
