SUMMARY: Hurricane Milton is expected to transition across Florida from the West Coast to the East Coast, maintaining hurricane force winds. Jacksonville Beach is currently under a tropical storm and storm surge warning. To the south, from Ponto V Beach to Indian River, hurricane warnings are in effect. The First Coast could experience a surge of 3 to 5 feet, with risks extending to Georgia. If this surge coincides with high tide and heavy rainfall, flooding may occur, particularly along the St. John River in Jacksonville. Meteorologist J. Carfagno from The Weather Channel reports on these conditions.

SUMMARY: At the state fair, beyond the rides and food, exists a vibrant world of livestock showing. Young participants like 16-year-old Riley dedicate months to care for their animals, including calves and goats, preparing them for competition in 4-H andFFA events. This process involves early mornings of feeding and grooming, instilling a strong sense of responsibility. Families often pass down this tradition, creating a deep-rooted passion for the sport. While prize money and awards are significant, the kids cherish the opportunity to interact with fairgoers, inviting them to engage with their animals and share their experiences.
