Tropical Storm Sara has formed in the Caribbean Sea and is projected to move northwest over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche. The storm is expected to shift northeast while traversing the Gulf of Mexico, potentially impacting the Florida Gulf Coast, particularly areas just north of Tampa. Heavy rainfall and the risk of catastrophic flooding are anticipated along the Gulf Coast, affecting regions in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and northern Florida. The storm's trajectory is being closely monitored, especially due to recent hurricane activity in the area.

Let's see how close predictions come to reality.

Tropical Storm, Sara, formed in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Honduras. It is expected to move NW over Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche (Spanish: Bahía de Campeche), or Campeche Sound, in the southern portion of the Gulf of Mexico. Over the bay, Sara is expected to turn to the NE and traverse the Gulf of Mexico to the Florida Gulf Coast, perhaps just north of Tampa, Florida.

I have been watching the storm since some of the models have it going to the Tampa area where my sister lives. They had two hurricanes recently and another one in neighboring regions.
 
M 7.6 - 73 km ENE of Misawa, Japan https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000rtdt/executive 2025-12-08 14:15:11 (UTC) 40.960°N 142.185°E 53.1 km depth It was however fairly deep (53.1 km depth) as compared to the Great Tohoku earthquake in which the sea floor was displaced. I don't believe a tsunami would be significant. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us6000rtdt/region-info
