8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

A run at record heat Wednesday and Thursday... perhaps some needed rainfall early next week.
Keep in mind the mid-May average high is around 86, average low closer to 73. Stay cool! @nbc6

Hard to believe this was one year ago.
Today marks one year since an unprecedented 26 inches of rain fell in a short five hours on #FortLauderdale. The impacts of it are still being felt today.
Since then, we’ve accelerated stormwater infrastructure improvements in vulnerable neighborhoods and are committed to continuing to invest in projects to make us more resilient.

NASA says an asteroid larger than the Empire State Building is heading toward Earth.
However, it's not expected to arrive until the year 2182.
And there's only a .05% chance it will hit the planet.

If you are anything like me and know nothing about cricket - watch the video - we’re not alone. 😅

Dear Broward County Families,
As we closely monitor the heavy rain, our primary concern is its potential impact on our county. Rest assured, we'll keep you informed about any effects on school and district operations through our regular communication channels. Stay tuned for updates.

I was saving this for today—the end of the 2023 hurricane season. And now @MichaelRLowry beat me to it...
For the 1st time since the 2014 season South Florida managed to avoid being placed in any tropical cyclone forecast "cones" 😅
It's nice to catch a break every now and then
