NOAA predicts active 2013 Atlantic hurricane season
For the six-month hurricane season, which begins June 1, NOAA’s Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook says there is a 70 percent likelihood of 13 to 20 named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher), of which 7 to 11 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5; winds of 111 mph or higher).
These ranges are well above the seasonal average of 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes.

CBF milled live oak today.
Remember the lot that was clear cut of its live oaks located on Shore Drive near the Lesner Bridge?
CBF accepted the cut down live oak material.
Today it was milled into lumber to be dried then used inside & around the Brock Center.
Thanks to everyone who helped preserve the live oak material.
Shame the trees couldn’t be preserved but at least their beautiful lumber will live on & may inspire future generations.
The rumor is the north span is torn down first and all traffic shares 2 lanes for a year.

Come on down to the old Ocean Park firehouse for burgers, hot-dogs, equipment tours, blood pressure checks, and see how many EMTs can fit in an ambulance! We will be on hand to answer questions about our station, the EMS system, and how you can get involved.
Plus the USCG Auxiliary flotilla 5-7 will be on hand from 9am till 12 noon for free boat inspections, if you need one or you know someone who would like to get their bot inspected in the morning have them drop by! We will be having people bring their boats to the parking lot to the right of the squad and we will have the USCG Aux volunteers on hand for the inspections. They will also be on hand to talk about boater safety, as the weather gets warmer we know our neighbors will be dusting off their winter boat covers and we want you to be safe out on the water. They will have life jacket demonstrations and coloring books for the kids.
His girlfriend Jerrie DeLozier is more optimistic. DeLozier calls Treesh “the artistic one” and herself “the logical one.” She acknowledged that some pieces of the Boat House, as it is known in the neighborhood, will have to go. But she’s hoping she can get the summons stayed, and in the meantime obtain a survey of the property, and apply for a variance for the carport/yacht stern.
“We really would like to keep the boat,” DeLozier said. “That’s his heart, it really is.”
One of the comments from article:
Chic’s Beach is such a cool and funky place and his home fits in perfectly . . . particularly on that street. Though he should have followed the rules, hopefully, there can be minimal adjustments, and the character of the house can remain the same.
