saw, and this is your news to go this morning. So the city of West Palm Beach has suspended residential and commercial sanitation services until further notice that includes trash and garbage pickups. Recycling services have also been suspended for tomorrow. They're going to resume on the next service day and try rail is suspending service today because of ADA. The South, for a regional transportation authority says they're gonna monitor the storm to figure out when service can restart. They also make the decision to remove the crossing gates whenever winds of 35 miles an hour or mawr are anticipated, and my country safari making sure they're prepared for any impacts. They're gonna close at 3 p.m. today, with the last car admitted into the safari at two in the afternoon. They also stay close tomorrow on Monday and have not said when they will reopen and the Palm Beach. You also stay closed today and tomorrow. The zoo says they will reopen Tuesday as long as it's safe to do so, There will only be a few animals, though moved to the hospital complex there on the zoo grounds as most night houses, they say, provide safety for tropical storm force winds and tropical rains. And now we're gonna get because we have a land falling Ada. Right now it's over Cuba. It ascends into the Florida Straits throughout the day to day. So we'll get those rape wraparound rain bands embedded with strong torrential downpours and wind gusts up to just shy of 50 miles an hour. Especially later this afternoon, overnight and into tomorrow, when Ada still is a tropical storm is trying to make a run at the keys for another landfall before moving into the gulf, and then it looks like it's out of our hair. But we can't really let down our guard because it gets caught up in a cool front, tries to migrate back a little bit further to the north and the east, and that's even into Friday. So still a lot of uncertainty. But the next two days they're gonna be pretty rough going, so keep it here. We'll keep you posted, and that is your news to go. Mhm
