That near-miss still allows Sarasota County officials, like those further north in Tampa Bay, to make the point that preparation for a direct hit in a future storm is the entire region&#8217;s best bet.<\/p>\n<p>Except for one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jimschwab.com\/Hablarbooks\/2023\/07\/04\/the-earth-is-speaking-to-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unrelated post<\/a> on July 4, it has been a while until now. David Taylor and I left Chicago on a road trip on July 6 to film in Colorado and Iowa, returning on July 18. The delay since then in putting this series back on track arose from both a short-term illness and a long to-do list of other tasks once I was back home, but here we are. We have much more to share now about Florida, Colorado, and Iowa to keep readers aware of our progress, so please keep tuning in every few days.
