Fall Brush fire threat a real concern especially with breezy conditions today and no rain until at least Friday. 100 acre fire earlier this week across from IJD
We have a TS watch here now and breezy/squally at the moment. One other trait S FL offers from South of Lake Okeechobee is the moist Everglades and depending how hot and wet if a summer we have had it can be a great potential fuel source for TC
GFS/Euro show that wave coming off Africa near DR; of course being 10 days we will see if there is any consistency. Having generator inter-lock installed right now
Wasn’t there a storm in the 11-14 range and we were forecasted to get 7” and I woke up to 20+? I remember waking up at 2am to 7” and it then Snowed 3-4” an hour until like 7am
I took these while working recovery in the Pan Handle; we were setting up in the Mexico Beach Public Works yard, 3 blocks from the beach and the water line was 7ft in their garage bays.
After the Hurricanes in 2005 I believe FL mandated that all new gas stations must have fixed generators and after Irma all long term facilities and nursing homes must have Generators.
The state of FL promotes having a Hurricane/Disaster plan and kit ready and does a tax free week just before Hurricane season to buy Hurricane related supplies tax free.
Many people bust on FL for different things and rightly slow but the have their shite together regarding storm prep and response
