Sarasota and the state are on the east side of the storm, “which is traditionally the side that has rain and the wind and possibly some isolated tornadoes,” McCrane said.

“Better than we hoped, this is good,” McCrane said during a 6 p.m. video update.

IS CRUISE TOURISM BACK?

Tuesday marks a very important milestone in Saint Lucia in respect of cruise tourism as it is the day Port Castries welcomes Celebrity Millennium, setting the tone for the gradual reintroduction of cruise tourism to the island.
That sector of Saint Lucia’s tourism product has been closed for months amid the global Covid-19 pandemic, raising queries as to when will it resume and how best will it be handled on its resumption.
Celebrity Millennium will call into port just about 7:30a.m. with an anticipated 400-passenger capacity.
According to tourism officials, the scheduled call into Saint Lucia bodes well for business linkages and signals the reinstatement of revenue for well over 1000 cruise-dependent income earners.
