Loggers Run Unofficial

Anyone know where the smoke out of the West is coming from?

Let's see some pictures of your holiday decorations in Loggers Run.

Well, that was a lot of rain. Unfortunately, there is more rain to come.

Are there any areas out there that are flooded that we need to avoid?

How are you doing?

Looks like South Florida is in for some bad weather this weekend.

Please prepare yourselves for a lot of rain.

Good evening Loggers Run neighbors.

This is NOT a shot from the 1996 Will Smith film Independence Day but from earlier this evening.

Our area is now completely out of Tropical Storm Laura's cone.

The Keys are still in it.

Stay safe!

Howdy neighbors! According to the National Hurricane Center, it is quite possible that we could have hurricane conditions starting on Monday morning.

Please start your preparations now.

Hopefully everyone made it through the storm without too many issues.

On the bright side, here is today's sunset.

The 2020-2021 school year will begin for students on Monday, August 31 in Palm Beach County School District-operated schools. The School Board voted unanimously on July 22 to delay the start date by three weeks, allowing more time to prepare for the start of school, which will launch with distance learning.
The new start date gives educators additional time to prepare for teaching in an online platform, for the District to receive and distribute thousands of new laptops to students in need, and to ensure better internet connectivity offered by business partners and municipalities throughout the County.
Board members also approved adding two additional pre-school days for professional development for employees in the T-bargaining unit. That decision is pending final approval from the Classroom Teachers Association (CTA).
With the change in the calendar, most District employees will not experience a gap in pay. However, there will be a delay in paychecks for about 4,000 support staff employees (those who are not in the T-Bargaining Unit) within the following contracted duty day groups:

180 duty days

182 duty days

187 duty days

188 duty days

Bus drivers, bus attendants, school food service workers, and paraprofessionals are among those in the group. While the first paycheck of the school year will be delayed, their salary is not affected by the change in the school year start date.

The District will also continue its summer Monday through Thursday work schedule for 12-month employees, through the week of August 17. As such, Friday, August 21 will be the last Friday off before those employees return to their regular five-day workweek.
Non-12-month employees who have already begun working will now have scheduled days off in August and should consult the employee calendar notes for additional details.
The Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks will remain as previously scheduled. First semester exams will be held after the winter break, with the first semester ending January 29, 2021. The last day of school will be Friday, June 18, 2021.
The School District will now submit its Reopening Plan to the Florida Department of Education for its final approval.

U.S. records more than 1,000 daily deaths, first time in nearly 50 days

"The United States recorded more than 1,000 deaths Tuesday, the first time the country has topped that mark in nearly 50 days. It’s the highest single-day death total since June 2, when 1,052 fatalities were reported, and the milestone undercuts Trump’s claims of a fast-falling coronavirus mortality rate."

There is a lot of misinformation out there related to how COVID-19 is spread.

The story below is a MUST READ. Please use common sense, follow what the experts say and most of all, stay safe.

COVID-19 is especially easy to spread if an infected person is seated in an enclosed room for about an hour.

Restaurants, workplaces and churches are locations that are especially vulnerable. These are the places that people are rushing to go back into.

It turns out that social distancing WILL NOT STOP the spread of the virus if you are seated in the same room for an extended period of time with an asymptomatic infected person.

From Dr. Erin Bromage (an infectious disease specialist):

"Restaurants: Some really great shoe-leather epidemiology demonstrated clearly the effect of a single asymptomatic carrier in a restaurant environment (see below). The infected person (A1) sat at a table and had dinner with 9 friends. Dinner took about 1 to 1.5 hours. During this meal, the asymptomatic carrier released low-levels of virus into the air from their breathing. Airflow (from the restaurant's various airflow vents) was from right to left. Approximately 50% of the people at the infected person's table became sick over the next 7 days. 75% of the people on the adjacent downwind table became infected. And even 2 of the 7 people on the upwind table were infected (believed to happen by turbulent airflow). No one at tables E or F became infected, they were out of the main airflow from the air conditioner on the right to the exhaust fan on the left of the room. (Ref) "

The picture shown below was one person that infected 9 people in the same restaurant. 5 of those people were at other tables, two of which were 20 feet away.

Stay safe out there.
