Florida Braces for Severe Storms and Flooding Threat

Volusia County Beach Safety officials are warning residents to stay out of the water due to rough surf caused by ongoing rain and wind. The county has implemented a sand trap bag system to protect vulnerable areas where seawalls are not yet rebuilt after last year's hurricanes. Precautionary measures, such as removing trash bins and dog bag dispensers from the beach, have also been taken. The county is under a single red flag warning and will upgrade to a double red flag only if large debris are present in the water.

Norovirus Confirmed as Cause of Illness Among CCSU Students

Central Connecticut State University officials have confirmed that students who experienced gastrointestinal symptoms last month were affected by norovirus, not food poisoning. The university took immediate action to increase cleaning and restricted access to certain areas on campus. The Hilltop Café dining hall was temporarily closed as a precautionary measure. Less than 10 people tested positive for norovirus, and all affected students have since recovered. No new cases have been reported, and extra cleaning will continue on campus. Health officials recommend frequent handwashing and avoiding food preparation if experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms.
