Fire damages quadplex in Palm Beach County, one person hospitalized
IT IS SUNDAY, MAY 24TH. I’M NIKITA RAMOS WITH A LOOK AT YOUR NEWS TO GO. THE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS IS HIGH AT LOCAL BEACHES THIS WEEKEND. LIFEGUARDS WARN THAT EVEN EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS CAN GET CAUGHT UP IN RIP CURRENTS, ESPECIALLY ON CROWDED HOLIDAY WEEKENDS, WHEN MORE PEOPLE ARE IN THE WATER. OFFICIALS SAY ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO STAY SAFE IS TO SWIM AT A GUARDED BEACH, WHERE LIFEGUARDS RESPOND QUICKLY AND CAN HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND CONDITIONS BEFORE GOING IN. AND RIGHT NOW, THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND TRAVEL RUSH CONTINUES. MORE THAN 2.3 MILLION FLORIDIANS ARE EXPECTED TO DRIVE THIS WEEKEND. FLORIDA GAS PRICES DROPPED ABOUT $0.03 OVERNIGHT, BUT STILL IT’S UP $0.16 COMPARED TO LAST SUNDAY. BUT THERE’S GOOD NEWS IF YOU ARE HITTING THE ROADS TODAY, NOT MUCH TRAFFIC IS EXPECTED, HOWEVER, TOMORROW IT’S A VERY DIFFERENT STORY. THE BUSIEST TIMES ON THE ROAD WILL BE BETWEEN NOON AND 5 P.M., SO IF YOU WANT TO AVOID THAT BULK OF THE TRAFFIC. TRIPLE A RECOMMENDS TO LEAVE BEFORE TEN IN THE MORNING TOMORROW. PALM BEACH COUNTY ANIMAL CARE AND CONTROL ASKING FOR THE PUBLIC’S HELP RIGHT NOW AS IT DEALS WITH SIGNIFICANT OVERCROWDING AT TIMES. THIS MONTH, THE SHELTER HAS BEEN 23% OVER CAPACITY. WITH SUMMER COMING CLOSER, THEY EXPECT THAT NUMBER TO CLIMB EVEN HIGHER. AND YOU DON’T HAVE TO ADOPT TO HELP OUT. YOU CAN ALSO JUST APPLY TO TAKE A DOG OUT FOR A FEW HOURS. THE SHELTER HAS LAUNCHED A BRAND NEW DOGGIE DAYCARE PROGRAM. THIS ALLOWS PEOPLE TO TAKE DOGS OUT FOR JUST A FEW HOURS, LET THEM DECOMPRESS FROM THE SHELTER, STRESS, AND HOPEFULLY FIND A NEW OWNER. NIKKI. AND IF YOU’RE PLANNING TO TAKE ANY OF THOSE PUPS OUT FOR TODAY, JUST MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THEM OUT ON WALKS EARLY IN THE MORNING OR WAIT UNTIL THIS EVENING OR INDOOR LOCATIONS BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE WAY TOO HOT ON THEIR PAWS THIS AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE BREAKING INTO THE 90S. BUT ONCE YOU FACTOR IN THE HUMIDITY, GOING TO BE FEELING MORE LIKE THE UPPER 90S AND HUNDREDS. AND WE CAN EXPECT THAT AGAIN FOR MEMORIAL DAY. SO FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, JUST MAKE SURE YOU’RE STAYING HYDRATED. MAKE SURE YOUR PETS ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO WATER AND TRY TO LIMIT STRENUOUS ACTIVITY. YOUR TIME OUT IN THE SUN THROUGH THOS
