Hurricane Prep Mistakes: Key Lessons for Floridians

Hurricane Prep Mistakes: Key Lessons for Floridians

As the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season progresses, experts are highlighting common preparation mistakes made by Florida residents. According to NOAA, water hazards such as storm surge and inland flooding remain the leading causes of hurricane-related fatalities. Despite predictions of a quieter season, emergency officials stress that even a single storm can have devastating impacts. Floridians are urged to prepare well in advance of any storm entering the forecast cone, as last-minute preparations often lead to supply shortages and logistical challenges. Additionally, many residents focus solely on wind risks, neglecting the dangers of flooding and prolonged power outages. The National Hurricane Center emphasizes that hurricane hazards can extend far beyond the storm's center, underscoring the need for comprehensive readiness.

President Trump Casts Mail Ballot in Florida Primary Despite Spreading Falsehoods About Mail Voting Fraud

President Trump Casts Mail Ballot in Florida Primary Despite Spreading Falsehoods About Mail Voting Fraud

President Trump cast a mail ballot in Florida's recent primary election, despite his repeated public statements and spread of falsehoods regarding widespread fraud in mail voting. Records from Palm Beach County confirmed his mail ballot submission. When questioned about the discrepancy between his actions and his rhetoric, a White House spokesperson, Olivia Wales, stated that President Trump supports "commonsense exceptions for Americans to use mail-in ballots for illness, disability, military, or travel," but opposes "universal mail-in voting" due to its susceptibility to fraud. The spokesperson emphasized that President Trump is a resident of Palm Beach and participates in Florida elections, though he primarily resides at the White House. This is not the first instance of President Trump voting by mail; he also did so in a March special state house election and in the 2020 primaries. Florida law allows for no-excuse mail voting, a system adopted with bipartisan support after the 2000 presidential electio...

President Trump Votes by Mail Despite Criticizing Practice as 'Inherently Corrupt'

President Trump Votes by Mail Despite Criticizing Practice as 'Inherently Corrupt'

President Trump cast his vote by mail in Florida's Republican primary, a move that comes despite his repeated public denunciations of mail-in voting as 'inherently corrupt' and highly susceptible to fraud. Palm Beach County voting records indicate that President Trump requested a ballot in late July and returned it last week for the primary elections in his adopted home state. This is not the first instance of President Trump utilizing mail-in voting; he previously voted by mail in Palm Beach County in 2020 and again in a Florida special election earlier this year. Following the latter vote, he defended his personal use of the system while reiterating his broader opposition, stating, 'No, I think mail-in voting is a terrible thing. I think if you vote, you should go.' White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales clarified that President Trump's use of mail-in ballots aligns with exceptions outlined in the SAVE America Act, which he supports. These exceptions permit mail-in voting for reasons such as illness, disab...

No Tropical Threats in Atlantic; Hurricane Lala Moves Away from Hawaii

No Tropical Threats in Atlantic; Hurricane Lala Moves Away from Hawaii

The National Hurricane Center's 2 a.m. Sunday outlook (August 16, 2026) reports no tropical cyclone formation expected across the Atlantic, Caribbean Sea, or Gulf of Mexico over the next seven days. This marks a significant shift from earlier in the week when multiple tropical waves were being monitored. South Florida currently faces no immediate tropical threats, though meteorologists will continue to monitor waves emerging from Africa as the Atlantic hurricane season approaches its peak. Meanwhile, Hurricane Lala passed near Hawaii's Big Island on Saturday, bringing damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and dangerous surf. The system is now moving away from the island chain, but residual impacts such as flooding, mudslides, and hazardous surf conditions remain a concern.
