TROPICS: Ian is now a tropical storm centered about 40 miles southeast of Orlando; sustained winds are 65 mph. The circulation center will move into the Atlantic later this morning… the next landfall comes near Charleston tomorrow; tropical storm warnings are in effect from Boca Raton Florida to Cape Lookout, North Carolina. The system will dissipate Saturday over the mountains of North Carolina.

Tropical Depression 11 is in the middle of the Atlantic; it could briefly become Tropical Storm Julia before it dissipates this weekend. The system will stay far from land, and the rest of the Atlantic basin is very quiet.

ON THIS DATE IN 1927: An outbreak of tornadoes from Oklahoma to Indiana caused 81 deaths and 25 million dollars damage. A tornado, possibly two tornadoes, cut an eight-mile long path across St Louis, Missouri, to Granite City, Illinois, killing 79 persons.
