Featured Story

We’ve Got Twins

A story so Florida it should come with a twelve-pack and a pet alligator. You’ve probably already heard, but lurking out there in the Atlantic is a pair of twin disturbances that might try and reenact a Hardy Boys tag team. Lucky for us, North Carolina is in their sights.

Tropical Storm Humberto and a tropical wave that sounds like a soccer team may likely pull off something called the Fujiwhara effect. Not the Macarena, but apparently it’s pretty close.

Here’s the gist. When two tropical systems wander within roughly 800 to 900 miles of each other, they can start to pinwheel around a shared center, tugging each other off their original paths. Sometimes one absorbs the other. Sometimes one slingshots away. Sometimes it’s just messy, and the forecast confidence takes a vacation. That pinwheel move is the Fujiwhara effect.

For Southshore, the headline right now isn’t direct impact. It’s the ripple effects. Two nearby systems can still send higher seas offshore, toss some extra moisture our way, and make the models do the cha-cha until the dance partners sort out who’s leading.

Bottom line: twin storms, possible Fujiwhara, East Coast on alert, Florida mostly watching from the cheap seats for now. We’ll keep it light, keep it local, and keep you posted if this two-step turns into a conga line.

What is Bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping. You hear it all the time, but do you know what bookkeepers actually do? It’s not a librarian with a key ring, and the “books” they keep can save you a lot more than a late fee. Behind every thriving small business is a clean, organized set of numbers. Without them, you’re making decisions in the dark.

Things to do

What’s Washing Up on The Shore This Week

Fighting For Community

We talk about community a lot around here. It’s kind of our thing. Think of us as a cyber town hall. We focus on feel-good stories, hometown heroes, and must-attend events at local establishments.

The other half is partnering with local businesses and making sure Southshore knows who to call when they need anything. Toilet running? We know a guy. Garage needs some love? We’ve got that too. Want your roof checked before October 9? An inspection is a click away. It’s not about flooding your inbox with ads. It’s about keeping the community together.

If there’s a show at the local high school, we want you to know. If a neighbor is struggling and asks for help, we want the community involved.

We’re community first, every step of the way. We live here. Our kids go to school here. I’ve seen half of you at Publix, Finn’s, or Apollo Pizza. Our kids know your kids. I’ve probably coached half of them. When I say community, I mean family. That’s what Southshore is to me.

Our family is growing, and we’ll keep bringing you the best of the area and partnering with companies that put community first. Because when the community wins, we all win.
