📰 News we're reading
• Florida's hot Gulf waters are ripe for a hurricane but is that enough? (coralspringsflnews.com) — Hurricane experts say the Gulf’s unusually warm waters could support storm development, but current models show only a small chance of anything organizing soon. Forecasters emphasize that any system would likely be weak and mainly a rainmaker, with no specific threat yet to The Acreage or nearby communities. Residents should stay weather-aware but not alarmed by early AI model chatter. 
• An AI Data Center at the Edge of the Everglades Heads to a Decisive Vote (insideclimatenews.org) — Palm Beach County commissioners vote July 15 on a massive AI data center near the Everglades that could affect drinking water for The Acreage’s well-dependent homes. Neighbors and environmental groups fear heavy water and power use, coolant discharges, and nonstop noise near schools, while the developer promises jobs and tax revenue. The outcome could reshape the area’s landscape, utilities, and daily life.
