There is a “castle” in #FL that was apparently built by one man, who quarried the stone, trimmed and fitted it, and assembled them without mortar. The site is also called #Florida’s Stonehenge. This is according to #Wikipedia. I did not bother to check anywhere else.

Made inquiries to co-workers in #FL, #GA, #SC, #NC for status updates. #TropStorm #Ian (formerly #Hurricane Ian)

I made sure not to watch the Weather Channel / weather\.com site, because am not thrilled by watching someone standing in the wind and rain, telling us how bad it is.
#GS3 did want to check on the wurricanes at mid-day today, so we looked a bit at #Hurricane #Ian as it slid into the #FL coast. He asked about storm surge (which is a term I only heard in the past 3-5 years; I have been watching weather and visiting weather sites for much longer) so we talked about the ocean water covering people's houses.

The 12:00 Eastern Time update lists storm surge of up to 18 feet above normally dry ground. That is in addition to any tides and in addition to any fresh water flooding due to rainfall. #Hurricane #Ian is extremely dangerous for #FL. Probably even worse than #Fiona was for #PR.

Watching the #NOAA / #NHC site’s updates about #Hurricane #Ian as the storm’s eyewall comes ashore in #FL. I’m used to watching the storm stream from WAFB-TV-9 in #Baton_Rouge #LA, but they are not covering this event in #Florida. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

#FL Governor fights against court order. He is trying to prevent school districts from requiring masks.
There’s a simple solution: If an unmasked person gives #COVID-19 to someone else, make them responsible for the affected person’s medical costs, lost wages, and such. In the case of students at schools, make the parents of the infector responsible for the costs. (If the infector is an adult, they can bear the responsibility themselves.)
Surely Florida’s Governor’s fight for personal and parental responsibility includes financial liability.

By the way, the #FL building collapse shows once again why we need to include non-human household members in emergency and evacuation plans.
People chased out of the part of the building that did not collapse left pets behind, but were never permitted back into the building to retrieve them. When they demolished that part of the building, one can presume the pets were all killed in the collapse.

#NOAA / #NHC #TropStorm #Elsa briefly reached #hurricane status again off shore of Tampa Bay, but is now a tropical storm again. Storm surge, tornadoes, wind and rain all expected across the US Southeast over the next few days.
If you're in #FL, #GA, #SC, #NC, #AL it is probably too late to do any additional preparation. Just try to ride it out.

#NOAA / #NHC: #Hurricane #Elsa now a #TropStorm, currently affecting #Haiti and the #Dominican_Republic, expected to pass near #Jamaica before hitting #Cuba.
Still expected to affect #Florida between Monday night and Wednesday morning. If you're in the Caribbean or #FL, get ready now.

Now 24 bodies found, including a firefighter's daughter. 9 firefighters test positive for #COVID-19

Yep. #NOAA / #NHC announcing PTC3 just South of #Louisiana ... though if it does become a #TropStorm, I'd expect it to be East of its current center, with most of the activity being in #FL and #AL. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
