Near Normal
NOAA predicts a near-normal 2012 Atlantic hurricane season
Conditions in the atmosphere and the ocean favor a near-normal hurricane season in the Atlantic Basin this season, NOAA announced today from Miami at its Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, and home to the Hurricane Research Division.
For the entire six-month season, which begins June 1, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center says there’s a 70 percent chance of nine to 15 named storms (with top winds of 39 mph or higher), of which four to eight will strengthen to a hurricane (with top winds of 74 mph or higher) and of those one to three will become major hurricanes (with top winds of 111 mph or higher, ranking Category 3, 4 or 5). Based on the period 1981-2010, an average season produces 12 named storms with six hurricanes, including three major hurricanes.

Disney Dilemma
Video: Squirrel stops Disney World monorail
ClickOrlando.com
Waiting at Walt Disney World is not uncommon, but recent park guests had to wait longer than usual because of a squirrel.
A video recorded and posted to YouTube on Monday shows a monorail train heading from the Grand Floridian to the Magic Kingdom moving slowly -- starting and stopping -- because a squirrel was on the track and wouldn't jump off.
The video was recorded by a park guest awaiting the train at a nearby station. "Monorail passengers at Disney World had a 45-minute ride between stops because a squirrel got on the track and the woman driving...

Donut Demolition
As you can see in this photograph, the long-vacant former home of Hole in One Donuts has been razed. You can still get their amazing treats in their locations on Jim Redman Parkway as well as North Alexander Street. It will be interesting to see what takes over this spot in Plant City's retail hub.
