Hurricane Ian
Outer bands of heavy rain are lashing Grand Cayman, where winds have gusted up to 53 mph early Monday morning.
As mentioned earlier, a hurricane watch has now been issued for parts of Florida's west coast from north of Englewood to the Anclote River, including Tampa Bay. This watch means hurricane conditions are possible and is typically issued 48 hours in advance of when tropical storm force winds may begin.
A storm surge watch is also in effect from the Anclote River to the Florida Keys, meaning life-threatening flooding from rising water moving inland from the coastline is possible by Tuesday.
A hurricane warning is in effect for Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, as well as for parts of western Cuba, as shown in the map below. This means hurricane conditions are expected, in this case Monday in Grand Cayman and by early Tuesday in western Cuba.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for other parts of western and central Cuba as well as the lower Florida Keys, meaning tropical storm conditions are expected there Monday night or Tuesday.
After its brush with Grand Cayman, Ian will head for western Cuba tonight into early Tuesday, then in the general direction either of the Florida Panhandle or Florida Peninsula.
There remains important uncertainty about Ian's track forecast with regard to Florida.
If Ian curls sharper toward the east, that could bring it ashore somewhere along the western Florida Peninsula as soon as late Wednesday.
If, however, it continues in a more northerly direction, its center may not come ashore in the Big Bend of Panhandle until late Thursday or Friday. Ian is currently centered southwest of Grand Cayman, moving northwest.
There is a real threat Ian's circulation could scrape up a significant portion of the western Peninsula, even if it never makes landfall, there.
Ian is expected to rapidly intensify to a major hurricane (at least Category 3) either by the time it reaches western Cuba or in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico Tuesday.

School Bus Accident
A visit with Lampasas ISD Superintendent Dr. Chane
Rascoe brought more information about the school bus accident in Kempner yesterday.
According to Dr. Rascoe, bus 8 was slowing on the east side of Kempner east bound on 190 to drop off a student. At this time, an eastbound dump truck collided with a Circle K gas truck (that was behind the bus) and pushed the gas truck into the bus (he was pushed a few hundred feet). The gas truck ran down the driver’s side of the bus.
Dr. Rascoe called this a glancing blow’.
The dump truck then collided with the bus on the door (passenger side) causing damage to the bus and ended up in front of the bus.
3 students were transported to the hospital with very minor
injuries, out of caution. Dr. Rascoe is checking in with them today. The driver of the dump truck was transported by Care-Flight.
Dr. Rascoe wanted to thank Director of Transportation Beverly Spencer for her quick response, as well as Donna Clark, Clarissa Brown, Lt. Chuck Montgomery, the Mayor and city staff of Kempner, the first responders and others who assisted at the accident scene. The City of Kempner was very accommodating as the students were transported to Kempner City Hall as a meeting place where parents could pick up their children..
Dr. Rascoe said it could have been a much different scenario; a few feet one way or the other and the outcome would have been very different.
Slow down and pay attention, especially around school buses!

Save Me With A Seat
Vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death among children in the nation, so the Texas Department of Transportation is reminding parents that one of the most important things they can do to protect children is to properly install and use a car seat. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that 46% of all child car seats are misused.
TxDOT’s “Save Me With a Seat” campaign kicks off in September to coincide with National Child Passenger Safety Week, Sept. 18–Sept. 24, 2022. The campaign invites parents to schedule a free car seat safety check by visiting SaveMeWithASeat.org and entering their ZIP code to find the nearest TxDOT Traffic Safety Specialist in their area. TxDOT offers free car seat safety checks year-round.
When child car seats are used correctly, they can help reduce injuries and prevent fatalities when children are involved in a crash,” said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams. “We urge parents to schedule a car seat check today to ensure they are safely and correctly using the right car seat for their child.”
With the “Save Me With a Seat” campaign, drivers are reminded that Texas law requires all children under 8 — unless they are taller than 4 feet, 9 inches — to be in a car seat whenever they ride in a passenger vehicle. Failure to properly restrain a child can result in a ticket of up to $250. Children under age 13 should ride in the back seat, properly secured in a seat belt or safety seat.
In 2021, 78 children younger than 8 years old died in traffic crashes in Texas, and 22 of those were unrestrained at the time of the crash. Among children ages 8–12 in 2021, 36 died in traffic crashes, with 13 of them unrestrained at the time of the crash. According to NHTSA, child car seats in passenger vehicles can reduce the risk of fatal injury in a crash by 71% for infants and by 54% for toddlers.

Governor Abbott Increases Efforts Against Fentanyl
Gov. Greg Abbott on Wednesday directed the Department of Public Safety to redouble its efforts combating Mexican drug cartels, which he blamed for transporting millions of doses of the opioid fentanyl into Texas.
“Fentanyl is a clandestine killer, and Texans are falling victim to the Mexican cartels that are producing it,” Abbott said at a roundtable in Midland with DPS Director Steve McCraw and local law enforcement and political officials. In a new executive order, Abbott directed the state police to, among other priorities, boost efforts to collect intelligence on cartels, investigate gangs in Texas that support drug and human smuggling, and seize goods the cartels are smuggling back to Mexico, including cash.
Abbott also sent a letter to the heads of state agencies asking them to work harder on combating the “fentanyl crisis.” He asked them to prepare for the coming legislative session that starts in January, outlining budget priorities and other initiatives to decrease fentanyl deaths in Texas.

Working from Home Still Popular with some
According to a story from IHeart media, some workers want to keep their work-from-home status so much they'll take a pay cut to keep it.
Remote working is popular for many reasons and Michael Cupps of ActiveOps gives us the biggest. " Getting in a car and driving, paying for parking and lunch. It's just the cost of working in an office that people didn't understand until they weren't spending it during the Covid Lockdown. It's a simple decision."
With skyrocketing inflation, many employers are giving across the board pay increases - and offering a remote work deal to forego the raise. Cupps says eventually it could be the norm. "The technology is catching up to make more and more jobs remote-friendly. But not all of them are going to be there!" People who make and fix things, plant and building things, serve you in some way and sell you items you want to see and feel before you buy.
Even with skyrocketing inflation - lots of workers are agreeing to a pay cut if they can just remain working remotely. Cupps points out that it's especially true with a certain demographic.
"Overwhelmingly, the 'younger generation' doesn't want to work in an office. I was with a client in Houston last week and he told me his daughter has been in the workforce for 3 years and has never set foot in her office!"
Cupps says it's not a bad deal for managers as multiple studies show remote some workers actually work more hours when not in the office

Texas A&M Forestry Service
Last week, a Texas A&M Forest wildfire handcrew was
mobilized to the Cedar Creek Fire in Oregon. This 20-person crew is supporting the Willamette National Forest on the
wildfire burning more than 112,000-acres.
The Lone Star State Type II Initial Attack Handcrew is
comprised of highly skilled and well-trained individuals from all divisions of the Texas A&M Forest Service. This is the third year in a row the handcrew has mobilized for wildfire response in another state.
According to the National Interagency Fire Center, there are 94 large fires burning across the United States with more than 15,000 wildland firefighters and support personnel committed to these incidents.
Thirty-four Texas A&M Forest Service personnel are responding to wildfire incidents in California, Montana, Oregon
and Washington.
In addition to the handcrew, two engine crews and multiple
support personnel are supporting wildfires
in other states. All resources will complete an assignment lasting 14 to 21 days before returning to Texas.
Since Jan. 1, state, federal and local firefighters, including Texas A&M Forest Service and Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid
System, have responded to 9,481 wildfires for 638,540 acres burned across Texas. During what became the most significant wildfire season since 2011, Texas A&M Forest Service
mobilized more than 4,400 firefighters and support staff from across the nation to support the state’s response.
The National Multi-Agency Coordinating Group moved the National Preparedness Level to 3 out of 5, as multiple states experience wildfire activity with a large commitment from
national resources.
