Meanwhile, red tide is getting worse across the area. Here are all the details on weather. Red tide update The National Weather Service Tallahassee forecasting office is warning that there is a high risk of respiratory irritation in Bay and Gulf counties from red tide over the next 36 hours, as of Nov. 12.

Fresh key lime pies get made every day here, and they can sell out fast. That’s a bold move for a place that also serves breakfast until 10 at night. The doors open at 6 AM, seven days a week. A line often forms before then, stretching right down the sidewalk. Somehow it tends to move quicker than you’d expect.

The true cost of losing Sarasota Bay's natural infrastructure | Opinion

My family has called Florida home for six generations. When I am out on the water or walking with my family through the wetlands and uplands that remain in Sarasota and Manatee counties, I often find myself recalling how my ancestors saw these same waters and wetlands generations ago. They focused on progress and infrastructure that facilitated development, often at the cost of natural resources. Between 1950 and 1990, Sarasota Bay lost more than 1,800 acres of wetland habitat, approximately 38% of its wetlands, largely due to dredge-and-fill activities associated with coastal development, and we’ve continued to document reductions in natural areas since then. These habitats are the nurseries that support the fish and wildlife that make Sarasota Bay special. They sustain the food web that connects our “coastal corridor” of ecosystems, our fisheries, and the wildlife that draws people to these waters. Habitats need breathing room. Unlike roads, buildings and seawalls, natural shorelines are not static. They are living systems that are shaped by tides, storms and rising water. Their ability to adapt and expand is jeopardized when development surrounds them on one side and rising waters push from the other. Scientists call this process “coastal squeeze.” The result

Bozeman football rallies past Oak Hall for first playoff win since 2023

After falling behind early, No. 5 Bozeman football responded with a dominant offensive performance, scoring 47 unanswered points to defeat No. 4 Oak Hall 47-14 in the first round of the FHSAA Independent North B Bracket Thursday, Nov. 12. The victory marks the Bucks' first playoff win since their Final Four run in 2023 and gives first-year head coach Sean Maddox and his team another week to keep their season alive. "It's a good feeling," Maddox said. "The guys had a good week of practice and came out and executed. We're in a way better place now. The guys are still winding down a little bit. They're still wearing off all that excitement." Quarterback Hayden Gay accounted for four touchdowns. The senior threw three touchdown passes, connecting twice with receiver Rylee McNeil on scoring strikes of 25 and 35 yards. He also found receiver Jay Hentz for a 60-yard touchdown. Gay added a rushing touchdown of his own on a 5-yard run. Bozeman's running game turned in its best performance of the season, with Caleb Hentz finding the end zone on a 14-yard run, Blake Durham adding a 10-yard touchdown and Bryant Bragg capping the scoring with a 6-yard touchdown
