This week marked the end of a quiet hurricane season. But, now the state is looking at a new set of challenges brought on by what the Ocala Star Banner says is the third-strongest El Nino on record.
El Nino can cause severe weather and flooding. And it’s had deadly results in the state. In 1998, tornadoes caused by a strong El Nino killed 42 people in Orlando and Daytona Beach.
We’ll explore what can expect, what’s happened in the past and what local emergency operation centers are doing to get ready.
Guests:
Jeff Huffman, Florida Public Radio Emergency Network Meteorologist
Wayne Sallade, Director for Charlotte County Office of Emergency Management
Richard Zyvoloski, Collier County Emergency Management Coordinator.
