I was on my way back from my son’s track meet in Minnesota and got a flat tire on a Iowa interstate. I tried to request roadside assistance in my Allstate app (because I don’t know how to change a flat tire), but was not getting a signal on my phone because of where we were in Iowa, so I was looking down messing with my phone and thought instead of using the app, I would call Allstate (which takes longer). I was thinking, it’s going to take a few hours for them to get to me once I get ahold of them, when my son goes, someone is here. Like this guy appeared out of no where, dressed in Iowa Hawkeye gear and goes, “Can I help you?” Long story short, his name is Zach Twedt, football player for Iowa Hawkeyes…I just wanted to appreciate him for being so kind and helping a stranger out, who needed to get her kids home safely. He could’ve kept going, but he didn’t! What a good dude! May God reward him for his kindness today!

NOAA tide station observations indicate that the perigean spring tide and persistent easterly winds are contributing to coastal flooding across Southeast, with many stations measuring over two feet above normal high tide.

October has been the month of northeasterly winds across northeast FL, with the majority of wind observations at both Jacksonville International and Craig Airport from the northeast. Coupled with the recent round of King tides, coastal flooding has been common. @ActionNewsJax
#firstalertwx “All the Weather, All the Time” with 2nd graders at Jacksonville Country Day School @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews
Gusty winds will continue through the upcoming weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 1) though speeds will drop *some* - especially windy at the beaches/intracoastal/along St. Johns River @actionnewsjax @wokvnews #FirstAlertWx
#firstalertwx the prolonged (going on 2 weeks) onshore winds will continue to help produce flooding at times of high tide in combination w/ the annual king tides. Beach erosion continues as surf only very slowly decreases @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews
#firstalertwx Jacksonville, Florida has never had a 90+ degree day after Halloween. We won't hit 90 through Sat., so it looks like Jax will end up with 109 90-degree days for 2026 - 4th on the all-time list @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews
