The tropics historically get more active heading into September, but even this is a little ridiculous. We have 6 tropical systems, 4 of which are named storms. For now, the orange blob is the only one we need to watch. It'll stay well into the Atlantic for at least 10 more days.

@FLGovScott
: "The time to evacuate has passed," but there are things you can STILL do to save your life:
Move to interior room, highest level of home in surge area
Protect head with mattress or helmet.
Do NOT try last-minute repairs. Listen to local NPR station.
