The fi nal tourism tax report for fi scal year 2019-2020 presented Nov. 5 left Tourist Develop- ment Council (TDC) members smiling. The year totaled more than $3.5 million of revenue to the county’s tourism promotion arm. That’s down less than 10% from last year, and the total still blows past revenues from two years ago. Tourist Development Director Julie White ini- tially projected COVID-19 related losses could be as much as $1.5 million, more than a third of the typical year’s revenue. “We were very conservative,” White told the TDC.

  • Hurricane Sally Threatens Deadly Flooding in Southern US 15 September 2020, by Gianrigo Marletta, with Tori Otten in Washington
    Hurricane Sally threatens deadly flooding in southern US 15 September 2020, by Gianrigo Marletta, With Tori Otten In Washington Alabama governor Kay Ivey warned state residents that even though the storm had weakened, "Hurricane Sally is not to be taken for granted. "We are looking at record flooding, perhaps breaking historic levels. And with rising water comes a greater risk for loss of property and life," she told a press conference. "I urge you in the strongest way possible to evacuate if conditions permit and seek shelter elsewhere as possible today." National Weather Service meteorologist John De Hurricane Sally, seen off the Gulf of Mexico on Block said that Sally could bring upwards of eight to September 14, 2020, at 1510 GMT 10 inches (20 to 25 centimeters) of rainfall. Ivey had declared a state of emergency Monday ahead of Sally's arrival. Hurricane Sally churned towards the US Gulf Coast on Tuesday, threatening deadly flash President Donald Trump, speaking earlier on "Fox flooding in Alabama and Mississippi, even as it & Friends," compared Sally to Hurricane Laura, weakened to a Category 1 storm. which battered Texas and Louisiana, as well as the Caribbean, just a few weeks ago. The National Hurricane Center said the storm in the Gulf of Mexico was packing maximum sustained winds of around 85 miles (140 kilometers) per hour. "Historic flooding is possible from Sally with extreme life-threatening flash flooding likely through Wednesday," the Miami-based center warned. At 1500 GMT, Sally was 110 miles southeast of Mobile, Alabama, and heading in a northwesterly direction at two miles per hour.

  • Hurricane Delta: October 9, 2020 Delta Tracking Toward U.S
    Hurricane Delta: October 9, 2020 Delta Tracking Toward U.S. Gulf Coast; Threatens Storm-Weary Region With Life-Threatening Winds, Flooding Rain Hurricane Delta is a Category 3 storm heading for a Gulf Coast landfall later Friday with life-threatening storm surge, damaging winds and rainfall flooding from Louisiana and east Texas to Mississippi. This includes some of the same areas that were ravaged by Hurricane Laura more than a month ago. As expected, Delta intensified again over warmer Gulf of Mexico water Thursday and it appears to be leveling off in strength. Delta’s center is currently about 200 miles south of Cameron, Louisiana, moving north at 10 to 15 mph. Happening Now Rainbands from Delta continue to spread inland and conditions will deteriorate along the Louisiana and upper Texas coasts Friday morning. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend up to 160 miles from Delta’s center. Current Watches and Warnings A hurricane warning is in effect from High Island, Texas, to Morgan City, Louisiana, including Lake Charles and Lafayette, Louisiana; and Port Arthur, Texas. This means hurricane conditions are expected Friday. A storm surge warning is also in effect from High Island, Texas, to the Pearl River, Louisiana, including Calcasieu Lake, Vermilion Bay and Lake Borgne. This means a life-threatening storm surge is expected, in this case Friday afternoon or early evening. Tropical storm warnings are in effect from Sargent to west of High Island, Texas, and from east of Morgan City, Louisiana, to the mouth of the Pearl River, including New Orleans.

  • Thursday's Focus Is on Hurricanes and Flooding
    Florida’s Severe Weather Awareness Week takes place from February 1-5, 2021. Severe Weather Awareness Week is an opportunity for Floridians to learn about the various weather hazards that frequently impact the state and how families and businesses can prepare for these natural events. Each day focuses on a specific weather event. Thursday’s focus is on hurricanes and flooding. The most feared weather phenomenon throughout Florida during the summer and early fall is the tropical cyclone. Close to the tropics and surrounded on three sides by warm water, the unique location of Florida makes it particularly vulnerable to these systems as they develop across the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea. The relatively flat terrain of Florida can also make it susceptible to flooding. Florida has a long history of hurricanes. Records indicate that approximately 118 hurricanes and around 164 tropical storms have impacted the state since 1888 (133 years), with many more cited in history books prior to that year and even before official records were kept. DID YOU KNOW??? No other state in the country has more hurricane landfalls per year on average than Florida does. Nearly 40% of all hurricanes that strike the United States make landfall in Florida. DID YOU KNOW??? In the last 150 years, all of Florida’s counties have been impacted by at least one hurricane. The North Atlantic Ocean hurricane season officially begins on June 1 and continues through November 30. However, tropical systems can still form outside of hurricane season as early as May and as late as December.

At 0500 GMT, Sally was about 65 miles south of Mobile, Alabama and heading north at a crawling pace of two miles per hour in the Gulf of Mexico, though the storm was expected to pick up speed through Wednesday.

Sally is one of five tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean—a phenomenon only recorded once before, in September 1971, according to meteorologists Hurricane Sally picked up strength as it edged towards the US Gulf Coast early Wednesday, with forecasts of drenching rains that could provoke "historic" and potentially deadly flash floods.

Effective today September 14th all persons (excepting personnel needed to ensure public health and safety) living in low lying areas, flood prone areas, and mobile and manufactured homes in Mobile and Baldwin Counties South of I-10 are strongly recommended to evacuate to other Alabama Emergency Management Agency P.O.

Everyone across the state needs to monitor this unfolding situation. A Hurricane Watch and Storm Surge Warning are in effect for Mobile and Baldwin counties with a Tropical Storm Warning as well, including Washington county. Flash Flood Watches will be in effect for a large portion of the state by Tuesday or Wednesday. Unfortunately, a forecast shift towards the east (closer to Alabama) occurred last night and additional track changes are still possible over the next 36 hours. The Alabama coast is back in the forecast cone of uncertainty and the center of circulation/landfall could still occur in our state. I want to again stress the forecast cone is where the center of circulation may be.

Idea, Practice, and Entextualization Be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Sandra Ott, Advisor Anjel Errasti, Co-Advisor David Croasdell, Committee Member Kirstin Swagman, Committee Member Magdalena Romera, Committee Member Alan Deutschman, Committee Member Larry Dailey, Graduate School Representative David W.

More specifically I examine why and how this Navarrese community of entrepreneurs, while belonging to the European Union, appropriates Silicon Valley’s discourse and know-how as its frame of reference. In this sense, I mainly emphasize two aspects: The adoption of corporative organizational learning to build capacity in the civil sector together with a masterful use of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In this regard, I have conducted a thorough study of the circulation of a metaphor in a computer-mediated discourse and its entextualization.
