Weeks after Hurricane Debby battered the Big Bend region, Florida’s Panhandle and West Coast are bracing for another powerful storm.
As of Tuesday morning, potential Tropical Cyclone Nine had not yet been named, but meteorologists are warning residents of the northern and eastern Gulf Coast to prepare for the arrival of a hurricane with winds of up to 115 mph later this week.
It’s too early to determine specific impacts, but the National Weather Service Tallahassee is warning residents to prepare for the potential for significant storm surge, heavy rains, strong winds and dangerous beach and boating conditions along the northern and eastern Gulf Coasts.
