Massive tree crushed this house in Milton, FL, during Isaias. Owner was sleeping in the adjacent bedroom. A limb knocked the ceiling and roof trusses on top of her, but she wasn’t seriously hurt

Agree with other assessments I’ve seen today that Milton, FL has some of the heaviest damage to buildings from Isaias. 114 mph wind gusts here.

What a difference 12 hours can make. Coastal cities west of landfall were spared the worst from Isaias. Curfew has ended here in Gulf Shores. Bridges back into town have reopened.

Something to watch. Storm after storm where I end up on the “weak” side, it’s the backside winds post-landfall that are often the strongest, and most sustained
💨Widespread tropical storm force winds and damage will occur well away from the center, with damaging hurricane force winds near the center close to the coast. Potential exists for strong winds even on the west side if the storm. ⚠️Don't let your guard down west of the center!!

Was looking forward to the possibility of a entire Atlantic season without a hurricane, but maybe it's like talking about a no-hitter

Maybe 10 yrs ago an opposing club coach shrugged and told me "It's a business." Probably didn't hide my reaction well when he told me team fees were around $2k per kid for spring. The kids were 9 or 10 at the time. Community rec teams are the alternative but as this story correctly points out, the level of play there has been decimated.

If you’re seeing political TV ads during 🏈 for elections far away from where you live, that’s because at this stage in the cycle it is likely less expensive to buy a TV ad during a regional/national NFL game than to buy it locally. Or there’s more inventory nationally. That’s right - more expensive to buy 30 seconds in the Des Moines or Dallas markets - if there’s no air time left there - than to buy it nationwide.

Atlantic season isn’t giving up just yet
2 pm EDT Oct 4 --- An area of low pressure is likely to form around the middle of the week over the southwestern Gulf of America. A tropical depression could form late this week while the system drifts northward. Visit hurricanes.gov for updates.

Statement from Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles on the approval of parole for former Dallas Police Officer Amber Guyger who was convicted of murder in the death of Botham Jean. Amber Guyger initially became eligible for parole on September 29, 2024.  Her initial review occurred on October 10, 2024, and resulted in a parole denial with her next review being scheduled on/about October 2026.    After a thorough review and consideration of a plethora of information, the parole panel voted to approve Amber Guyger for parole on October 1, 2026.   The reasons provided for approval were:   •The record does not include a documented pattern of violent or assaultive arrests/convictions. •The record indicates that the offender has maintained a satisfactory institutional adjustment. •The record indicates participation in and completion of programs and activities in the individual treatment plan that should enhance chances to obtain and maintain full-time stable employment.   Timothy McDonnell Chief Operating Officer Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles

This charge comes the day before Wilber Garces-Perez has a court hearing in San Antonio, with the intention of keeping him from being quickly deported.
News: Federal prosecutors in Texas have charged a Venezuelan delivery driver who was shot by an ICE agent earlier this month in Austin with assaulting a federal officer. More on @CBSNews.
