Devastating Drone Footage Of Damage From Panama City Tornadoes
We are hearing that at least four tornadoes touched down in the Panhandle around Panama City, Florida today (January 9th, 2024), and in neighboring areas. We have drone footage that AccuWeather posted on their TikTok and the aftermath from these Panama City Tornadoes is devastating.
In Southwest Florida we know all to well how Mother Nature can strike and devastate a community in an instant. In Florida we are used to hurricanes, but tornadoes are not as common. In September 2022, Hurricane Ian rocked Fort Myers Beach and surrounding areas.
Today’s weather caused damage to homes, marinas, businesses and infrastructure. However, according to a report out of Jacksonville, there have been no recorded deaths at this time. In the video below you’ll see a home knocked off of it’s foundation, other homes wiped away and the shear destruction left behind in a matter of minutes.
The weather is making it’s way south and Southwest Florida is under a tornado watch. The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch 6 until 9pm tonight for the following counties.
- Hardee
- Polk
- Sumter
- Levy
- Desoto
- Highlands
- Charlotte
- Lee
- Citrus
- Hernando
- Hillsborough
- Manatee
- Pinellas
- Sarasota
Schools here in Lee County canceled all after school activities today due to the predicted weather. Stay safe and aware of the latest weather updates as they are always changing. Keep safe inside this evening.
Netflix New Releases for January 2024
Streaming giant Netflix has a lot of highly-anticipated movies to offer their subscribers. From comedies to grisly dramas, the streamer’s January releases feature some of our favorite actors and producers. With the writers and actors strikes over, streamers and production companies are releasing projects that have been held off due to production being shut down in the latter half of 2023.
New Film and Television Series in 2024
For Netflix, one of the streamer’s highest-profile new series, 3 Body Problem, was bumped out of 2023 and into 2024. This is the first post-Game of Thrones show from creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss, arriving in the Spring. The sci-fi drama has been in the works since 2020, starring Eiza González, Benedict Wong, and Game of Thrones alums John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, and Jonathan Pryce. Additionally, the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender series is just as highly anticipated for fans of the beloved original Nickelodeon animated series. It will be coming to the streamer in late February.
Sofia Vergara stars as real-life Colombian cartel boss Griselda Blanco in a miniseries, looking completely unrecognizable. In it, she creates one of the most profitable cartels in history. With six episodes that are each an hour long, Griselda creator Eric Newman said Vergara was perfect for the role “not only because she, like Griselda, is a single mother who came to America from Colombia with nothing and built an empire, but because it was unexpected of her to do. Sofia has been thought of one way, a beautiful and brilliant comedic actress, and she is so much more than that.”
For the movie fanatics, Netflix has a few standout films kicking off January alone. Another standout project is Society of the Snow, the harrowing story of the Uruguayan rugby team that crash-landed in the Andes mountains in 1972. Kevin Hart offers a new comedy in a heist film, and Dan Levy directs and stars in a dramedy titled Good Grief. Coming in March, Millie Bobby Brown stars in a fantasy action movie called Damsel. Later in the month, Lindsay Lohan stars in her second rom-com, Irish Wish. April brings Zack Snyder’s sequel, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver.
Take a look below at the new additions that will be released in January 2024 on Netflix:
