TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – As the most-active hurricane season on record approaches an end, Florida overall has been relatively lucky. The 2020 Atlantic season, which on the calendar ends Monday, has put up 30 named storms -- requiring the use of the auxiliary Greek alphabet for the second time ever. However, in a season that overlapped the coronavirus pandemic, most storms spun away from Florida. The six-month hurricane season officially started June 1, but there had already been two named storms -- both off the Carolinas -- before that date. Florida disaster-management workers had been at an elevated level of preparedness for three months before the hurricane season because of the coronavirus pandemic.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Floridians in the Panhandle and Big Bend, including those in areas hit by Hurricane Michael last year, could see impacts this weekend from Tropical Storm Nestor. The storm won't have the 162 mph sustained winds that Hurricane Michael brought on shore near Mexico Beach on Oct. 10, 2018. But tropical-storm force winds can still cause minor damage, especially to property still unrepaired from Michael. "There is no such thing as just a tropical storm," Wool said. A tropical-storm warning was in effect Friday from Navarre to Yankeetown.
