Lake County prescribed burn could send smoke into Seminole County

Smoke from a prescribed burn in Lake County could drift into northern and western Seminole County on Friday, prompting fire officials to notify residents about its source.

A smoke column may also be visible. The department shared the information after some residents called 911 about the smoke.

DeLand's WWII Tugboat Tiger Comes Home to Lake Beresford After 82 Years Afloat

A 140-ton World War II Army tugboat named Tiger is finally resting less than 600 feet from the Lake Beresford shoreline where it was built in 1944, after volunteers towed the vessel to its new spot on Oct. 31. The homecoming caps a journey that took the tug across an ocean, through decades in private hands overseas, and into a muddy stretch of the St. Johns River before it finally returned to DeLand.

Local ice cream shop expands with new location in Daytona Beach

Earlier this year, Lighthouse Ice Cream’s future hinged on finding a new home. Now, just six months after relocating in Ponce Inlet, the local business has two places to call its own. Together, owners Kim Canny and Heather Highfield have expanded the brand to Daytona’s Beach Street, bringing its familiar Hershey’s scoops and a little soda fountain nostalgia to the former Neighborhood Scoop storefront. The new shop, located at 228 S. Beach St., was warmly welcomed last month with a late October ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening celebration downtown. “It’s been busy, but we managed to pull it off. We had great support from the community, our friends and our family. Even Ponce Inlet’s mayor, Lois Paritsky, joined us, which was super nice,” Canny said. “… So, it went really well.” Why did Lighthouse Ice Cream expand? The expansion, months in the making, grew partly out of necessity, Canny and Highfield explained. After more than four years across from the historic Ponce Inlet Lighthouse & Museum, the owners were informed last November that their lease would not be renewed. The news prompted their move to a far smaller Ponce Inlet space in front of Hidden Treasure Rum Bar & Grill

Bartow football's regular-season tests prepare program for playoffs

The last time the Bartow Yellow Jackets won a first-round playoff game was on Nov. 10, 2023, when the local program defeated Winter Haven 7-0. That means Bartow (6-4) on Friday night, Nov. 13, at Oviedo High School is trying to win its first playoff game in three years when the Yellow Jackets take the field at 7:30 p.m. With the win, Bartow would have won four of six after playing local and state powerhouses in Lake Wales and Lakeland the last couple of weeks. Still, second-year Bartow head football coach Grady Morrell has had full confidence before the year even started that his Yellow Jackets would make a playoff run. "That was one of our goals in changing our culture. It's a step-by-step process. ... We are one play at a time type team. ... I tell our guys all the time that we are one or two plays away on being 7-3 or one or two plays away from not making the playoffs. ... (We) are thankful for having the opportunity, blessed to be having the opportunity, so we've been going at it full force these past two weeks," Morrell said.

El Niño could mean higher chance of tornadoes in Volusia, Flagler

A tornado outbreak is not something Central Florida residents see very often, which is why most remember the ones that tore through the area in the winter of 1998. Osceola, Orange, Seminole and Volusia counties saw F2 and F3 tornadoes that lead to a few dozen fatalities across the area in February of that year. One of those fatalities was recorded in Volusia County near DeLand. Part of the reason for that event was an unusually strong El Niño, putting Florida on the path of severe weather patterns that typically dodge the Sunshine State. With another strong El Niño forecast for this winter, is there a chance that Central Florida, including Volusia and Flagler counties, will see a similar event? 1998 tornadoes: Though uncommon, some Florida tornadoes have proven deadly. Here are a few. Here’s what meteorologists are saying. What is a strong El Niño and how does it change Florida’s winter weather? Florida’s dry season, which runs between November and April, results when the subtropical jet stream typically moves above the Sunshine State as it moves from west to east. “The jet stream is a fast-moving channel of air further aloft in the atmosphere, and that jet stream increases
