A swirl of clouds very visible on the latest GOES-East satellite view of the Florida coast may become the U.S. East Coast’s next tropical cyclone, although it won’t have much time to amount to too much. Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center (NHC) have been monitoring this area for potential development for several days now; they believe there are better odds that a tropical cyclone will form here than not before it moves onto land.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
