After Isaias, Josephine and Kyle will be the next systems to come. There’s no way to make a long-term forecast about where exactly they will go. If the Atlan tic Coast is on the itinerary of these three, or if their successors Laura, Marco and Nana pay our state a visit, Georgia will face challenges that we didn’t see in previous years. Social distancing during and after a hur ricane is virtually impossible. Locals and tourists who didn’t leave in time before the storm may find themselves in crowded conditions at a hotel or public building serv ing as a hurricane shelter. First responders who must extricate people from flooded buildings can’t maintain 6 feet distance while doing so. Wearing a protective mask while wading through flooded roadways with a bunch of other people may be impos sible as well. The ocean-born storms still coming this summer make it more neces sary than ever to know the facts. It seems obvious that one should leave an area when officials order evacuation. But experience has shown that many choose to ignore this. Among college-age groups, driv ing to the beach for a “hurricane party” has traditionally been a popular sport. For wise people who are willing to leave the coast when a tropical storm system approaches, a few guidelines apply. Once an evacu ation is called for, it’s not time to pack. It’s time to leave. One needs to determine what to take along, and which route to travel, well before the storm’s landfall. Highways leading away from the coast, near Savannah and Georgetown for example, may flood and trap late travelers. There again, they may be stuck in a crowded place with no way to protect themselves from the cur rent epidemic. Good weather forecasts show the like lihood of landfall in a given place as a percentage value on a map. It’s important to watch for changes in those numbers. A rapid increase, say from 30% to 50%, sharpens the focus on an area. If you see such a trend for your current location, with a hurricane approaching from the ocean, it’s time to leave. Hotel rooms may be scarce even at distant towns. But an uncomfortable night far away from the coast beats one in a crowded shelter near the beach.

TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1714, Britain’s Queen Anne died at age 49; she was succeeded by George I. In 1907, the U.S. Army Signal Corps established an aeronautical division, the forerunner of the U.S. Air Force. In 1912, the U.S. Marine Corps’ first pilot, 1st Lt. Alfred A. Cun ningham, went on his first solo flight as he took off in a Burgess/ Curtis Hydroplane from Marblehead Harbor in Massachusetts. In 1914, Germany declared war on Russia at the onset of World War I. In 1936, the Olympics opened in Berlin with a ceremony presided over by Adolf Hitler. In 1944, an uprising broke out in Warsaw, Poland, against Nazi occupation; the revolt lasted two months before collapsing. In 1957, the United States and Canada announced they had agreed to create the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD). In 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman, 25, went on an armed ram page at the University of Texas in Austin that killed 14 people, most of whom were shot by Whitman while he was perched in the clock tower of the main campus building. (Whitman, who had also slain his wife and mother hours earlier, was finally gunned down by police.) In 1981, the rock music video channel MTV made its debut. In 2001, Pro Bowl tackle Korey Stringer, 27, died of heat stroke, a day after collapsing at the Minnesota Vikings’ training camp on the hottest day of the year. In 2007, the eight-lane Interstate 35W bridge, a major Minneapo lis artery, collapsed into the Mississippi River during evening rush hour, killing 13 people. In 2013, defying the United States, Russia granted Edward Snowden temporary asylum, allowing the National Security Agency leaker to slip out of the Moscow airport where he had been holed up for weeks.

The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first. Find us on these platforms or reach out to our newsroom at news@ gainesvilletimes.com or 770-718-3435. Associated Press Bystanders gather to look over a pile of merchandise scattered over the sidewalk in front of a pawnshop at 145th Street and Eighth Avenue, August 2,1943, an aftermath of Harlem riots in New York City. /gainesvilletimes « @gtimes @gtimesnews | The calendar of events will return at a later date, Find Gainesville Times on your podcast app to listen to our Inside The Times series, where you can learn how stories come together and get to know our staff.

Now, the thing you’re hanging onto clasps your hand just as tight. There is power and magic in the exchange. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It Is normal to have bad thoughts when bad things are going on, or just in general. Regard less, persist with the business you signed up for. Thoughts come and go. Perseverance and tenacity are what will be remembered. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Money in and of itself isn’t the end-all power source. There’s a lot that is mightier than paper and ink, than symbols and status, than sums of numbers. You’ll figure this out without throwing much money at it. CANCER (June 22-July22). Selflessness leads to satisfac tion. It’s the moves you make to see other people smile or to alleviate their worry or their suf fering that will ultimately bring you the most joy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are people you like to be around and then there are peo ple you feel you really must be around to feel complete or to fulfill your duty or the dictates of your heart. Great efforts will be made. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though work may go faster when done by others and fun may be more affordable when someone else is paying, this doesn’t change your plan. You’re determined to do it yourself. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Open your mind and heart to a source of warmth. Don’t worry yourself about the future or deciding who you are, who you want to be or what you’re do ing. Like the plants, you grow as you lean into the light. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not expensive to amp up your powers of attraction, nor does it require special talent or par ticular features. The more pres ent you are to the moment, the more attractive you are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been at the task for a while now and are ready for the new challenges that can be thrown in your mix. What some would consider to be increas ing stress from every direction, you consider fun. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) While many pay lip service to a principle, you’re all about the proof, the hard evidence that the idea wi 11 work. You want to live the improvement, and so you’ll roll up your sleeves and get to work. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you pick up from ad mired sources you can apply right away, especially if you also happen to be in love with said sources. Love has a way of intensifying your learning process. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Check your sources. There’s plenty of bad information out there today, which would be a regrettable share. You can avoid mistakes. Pause, ques tion, then make your move.
