As Floridians, especially across North Florida, clean up after Hurricane Debby dragged through the area, heat returns and there are still chances for a hyperactive hurricane season. Colorado State University released an update to their forecast and it calls for up to 23 named storms.

Volunteers and staff with the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation will be assessing the island's turtle nests in the coming days to determine how many were damaged or ruined by Tropical Storm Debby, which strengthened after passing more than 100 miles west of the Lee County barrier islands and made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane in the Big Bend

Last year, sea turtle nests were lost when Hurricane Idalia whipped up Florida's Gest Coast before making landfall in the Big Bend during the last week of August as a Category 4 storm. This year, Hurricane Debby disturbed sea turtle nests again along that coast before making landfall in the Big Bend during the first week of August as a Category 1.
