@CherNohio If you have a Facebook account, you should follow Mike's Weather Page. Mike is a gifted amateur who specializes in #Florida #Hurricane coverage. He's gold for events such as this.
Once upon a time, I was actively involved in social media for the #Angels minor league baseball (1998-2012).
In 2009, we moved here to #SpaceCoast, where I started doing the same for the local #Brewers affiliate.
They had no radio broadcast, so I volunteered to do selected live webcasts through their website.
This is a sample, a playoff game against the Tampa #Yankees. Strictly amateur, my fifth webcast, but the first one I think is decent.
The #Helene wind gusts forecast for 1 PM EDT on Friday. The #SpaceCoast is looking at gusts in the 50s MPH. The Big Bend approaches 100 MPH.
From #FloridaToday: Brevard Public Schools halts its book ban committee due to vacancies.
Meanwhile, it's Banned Books Week, a movement started in 1982 to promote banned books.
@cassandra17lina Yep, I think that every morning when I see their faces.
Today's "This Modern World" by Tom Tomorrow on #DailyKos at:
@DJ95X We should be okay on the Space Coast so long as it remains on its current projected track. I'm mainly worried about the Panhandle.
"A bipartisan effort to deter future abuse of the legal system by lawyers seeking to overturn legitimate elections. We will hold such lawyers accountable for past abuses and will work to revitalize the state bar disciplinary process so that lawyers, including public officials, who lie about election results and who fuel insurrection will face professional consequences."
A catastropic drop in the #Helene millibar pressure forecast according to these models. Just in from Mike's Weather Page.
The latest on nascent #Helene ... The forecast continues to worsen, now possibly a Category 4 for the Panhandle.
The final panel is the ten-day forecast for Merritt Island, where I live (as well as #NASA #KSC). The winds are now forecast as 29 MPH, higher than last night's 27 MPH.
The four-leaf panel model suggests this will be an event for almost all of Florida, catastrophic for some.

(For the record, I'm on the Atlantic coast near Cape Canaveral.)
@Kinnison Since I'm not a #NorthCarolina resident, I have no dog in the hunt, but the worse it gets for Mr. Robinson, the better for #Harris and the worse for #Trump, I hope. If Harris takes NC, the electoral college looks much better for her.
Projected track and intensity for nascent #Helene. Intensity as high as Category 3 for the Panhandle, meaning a major hurricane.
From #CNN: Four #NorthCarolina Republican governor candidate Mark Robinson campaign staffers step down.
#Sarcasm Replacements are named Göring, Goebbels, Himmler, and Heydrich. #Sarcasm
