Tropical storm could hit this weekend

| SFBW Staff
A weather wave with plenty of rain was closing in on Puerto Rico Wednesday and could hit South Florida this weekend.

An Air Force reconnaissance plane found some tropical storm winds in a wave that could hit South Florida this weekend.

The National Weather Service estimated that the Invest 99-L wave, which was approaching Puerto Rico on Wednesday, has an 80 percent chance of turning into a tropical storm. Tropical storms can have winds of up to 73 mph, but the biggest concern appears to be heavy rain leading to flooding.

The storm would be called Hermine. Tropical Gaston is further out in the Atlantic and is not expected to hit Florida.

The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America (PCI) sent out a press release Wednesday urging Floridians to take steps now to prepare.

“With peak of the season storms potentially targeting Florida, PCI encourages property owners to take precautions to protect themselves and their belongings for direct and indirect impacts that Invest 99 could have on our homes and businesses,” said Logan McFaddin, PCI’s Florida regional manager.

FPL’s website has tips on how businesses can prepare for storms.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
