Today's riddle: What do you call somebody who crosses the ocean twice and doesn't take a bath? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Post Hurricane Isaias, sunny skies and plenty of dry time ahead (wjhg.com) — After Hurricane Isaias, Panama City residents can expect a cooler, dry night followed by sunny, mid‑80s days and gradually returning heat early this week. Forecasters say beach surf remains dangerous, and another cold front next weekend should bring even drier, more comfortable air as the Panhandle continues storm recovery.
2. Isaias Leaves Massive Power Outages in Path as Storm Tracks Through U.S. Southeast (directrelief.org) — Panama City's PanCare health center is running on backup power and keeping Saturday clinics open to see patients despite widespread Bay County outages after Hurricane Isaias. With tens of thousands still without electricity, pre-positioned medical caches and resilient power systems are helping protect medications and maintain care for residents managing chronic conditions across the Panhandle.
3. DeSantis, Okaloosa officials give update from Okaloosa Island after Hurricane Isaias landfall (getthecoast.com) — Northwest Florida International Airport serving the Panama City area has reopened to commercial flights, even as hundreds of thousands across the Panhandle remain without power after Hurricane Isaias. State officials report major tree damage, ongoing river-flood risks, and scattered store closures, while urging residents to avoid flooded roads, watch for contractor fraud, and document any property damage for insurance claims.
4. Flamingos take shelter in zoo restroom as Hurricane Isaias moves through Florida (local12.com) — ZooWorld in nearby Panama City Beach sheltered its flamingos in a restroom during Hurricane Isaias and is reopening to visitors today after cleanup. Staff say all animals are doing well, offering a reassuring sign of recovery for families around Panama City as the Panhandle starts getting back to normal after the storm's passage.
