Florida braces for severe storm impacts as hurricane approaches
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the impending impacts of a significant storm expected to affect Florida, particularly Nassau County. The meeting highlighted the uncertainty surrounding the storm's path, with two primary weather models—the GFS and European models—showing differing trajectories. The National Weather Service indicated that the storm could make landfall anywhere between Jacksonville and St. Augustine, raising concerns about sustained hurricane-force winds in the area.

Emergency management officials emphasized the importance of preparedness, noting that residents should not become complacent despite the storm's fast-moving nature. They are currently planning for various scenarios, including potential school closures and the opening of at least one shelter in the county. The officials reassured the public that transportation to shelters would be provided for those in need.

The timeline for the storm's effects is projected to begin between 8 AM and 8 PM on Wednesday, with officials urging residents considering evacuation to act promptly. The meeting concluded with a call for vigilance as the situation remains fluid, and further updates will be provided as the storm approaches.
