Tropical Storm Elsa is coming, with the first waves of wind and rain Tuesday night, then worsening Wednesday, Mayor Lenny Curry warned with city leaders.
Gathered in the Duval County Emergency Operations Center at noon Tuesday, the mayor said it will be wet and windy as Wednesday dawns on the city. While we are on the edge of the cone and not expecting widespread damage, there is a chance for flash flooding, strong winds, tornadoes and severe thunderstorms, Curry said. While we are no stranger to these conditions, it is important that everyone is prepared, not just for Elsa, the first named storm to impact us this year, but for the remaining months of hurricane season.

The demolition of an old concrete weir this week means eels and other native fish can swim freely up a South Taranaki stream for the first time in 120 years. There have been 20 years of debate about the Glenn Rd weir, in the Kaūpokonui Stream, five kilometres from the coast, which was first identified as a fish barrier in 2001.
