Jaguars fans brave morning rain to watch London game at local sports bar

Jessica Salinas — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 20:35:35 +0000

Distance, early hours, and dreary weather couldn’t keep Jacksonville Jaguars fans away from their game-day routine Sunday.

As the Jaguars squared off against the Philadelphia Eagles across the pond in London, local fans packed into The Block Jax starting as early as 8 a.m.

That’s when many began to secure prime seats, breakfast, and drinks.

“Had to wake up early for it,” said fan Logan Davis.

For many, the early kickoff brought out friendly rivalries. Attendees like Lily and Hannah noted the energetic atmosphere of fans mixing team loyalties.

“We got a little friendship rivalry with the Jags and the Eagles, so we all had to come out and watch the game together.”

With the NFL hosting a game in London involving the Jaguars for its 14th consecutive season, local supporters say the international series continues to build a strong global presence for Jacksonville.

Sunday’s damp conditions also sparked nostalgic comparisons to past international matchups.

“It was very rainy last year. The whole game against the Rams was very, very rainy,” said a Jags fan. “So it’s giving a little bit of that vibe.”

Fans plan to keep the momentum going bright and early next week as the Jaguars prepare to face off against the Texans at Wembley Stadium in London.

Jacksonville police fatally shoot woman after she fires at officers, sheriff’s office says

Jenna Bartkovsky — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 19:21:23 +0000

UPDATE: Officers fatally shot a 32-year-old woman Sunday morning after officials said she fired a gun at them, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced at a briefing.

No officers were injured, the undersheriff said. It was the agency’s 15th officer-involved shooting this year.

Officers were called at 10:16 a.m. to Mar Vic Lane and Dunn Avenue, after a caller reported a black woman was pointing a gun at a white man.

Four officers arrived at 10:22 a.m. and determined she was the same person deputies had been unable to find a day earlier, the undersheriff said.

The woman was yelling at officers and carrying bags, which she repeatedly reached into, officials said. Officers asked her at least four times to show her hands, but she did not comply and kept walking away, the undersheriff said.

Officers followed her for about a quarter-mile, giving commands. At one point, an officer said he believed she had a gun.

At 10:34 a.m., at the intersection of Mar Vic and Biscayne avenues, she pulled a gun from a bag and fired once, hitting the driver’s side door of a patrol vehicle, the undersheriff said.

Officers were walking alongside the vehicle for cover. Three of them returned fire multiple times, striking her. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities have not released her name because her next of kin had not been notified. The undersheriff said the officers’ names would be released under Marsy’s Law.

The woman was linked to two earlier calls Saturday, the undersheriff said. At 9:15 a.m. on Satuday, a 911 caller reported a Black woman dressed in purple waving a gun in the 10600 block of Monaco Drive.

About an hour later, at 10:12 a.m., officers were sent to the 10600 block of Briar Cliff Road East, where a caller said a Black woman wearing purple pointed a gun at the caller and the caller’s dog. Officers did not find her either time on Saturday.

When asked whether officers could have de-escalated the situation, given a neighbor’s account that she appeared to be going through a mental health crisis, the undersheriff said that following her, repeatedly asking her to show her hands and eventually telling her to drop the gun was the de-escalation.

“How else do you de-escalate something?” he said.

The undersheriff said he did not have any history on the woman and was not aware of other calls beyond the two on Saturday, though investigators may find more.

The homicide cold case unit and the crime scene unit are investigating, and the State Attorney’s Office is conducting an independent investigation, officials said.

The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has confirmed an officer-involved shooting occurred in a Northside neighborhood Sunday.

JSO has taped off Mar Vic Lane at Dunn Avenue and Biscayne Boulevard.

The sheriff’s office said the shooting happened on Dunn Avenue and Pine Estates Road East. Our crew at the scene is reporting numerous police vehicles and crime scene tape.

JSO was unable to provide any additional information at this time. Officials are expected to give a briefing later this afternoon.

Action News Jax is working to learn more.

Here’s why over 700 bicyclists are traveling along A1A from Ponte Vedra to Daytona Beach

Jessica Salinas — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 18:03:48 +0000

More than 700 cyclists took to the road Saturday along A1A toward Daytona for Bike MS: Cycle to the Shore. The ride aims to bring greater awareness, support and funding to individuals affected by multiple sclerosis.

Participants in the two-day event are cycling routes ranging between 36 and 100 miles along the coastline. More than 1 million people in the United States live with MS, a neurodegenerative condition that currently has no known cure.

Robin Nunley, executive director of the Florida National MS Society, noted the impact of the fundraising efforts. “We will raise almost a million dollars for the National MS Society through this event,” Nunley said.

Among the cyclists undertaking the trek was Selena Buongiorno, a rider living with multiple sclerosis who set out from Ponte Vedra for the 100-mile route. “Multiple sclerosis currently has no cure. So we’re trying to just raise money for research to ultimately find that cure,” Buongiorno said.

Buongiorno, who also raises awareness by discussing her experience on her podcast, described the hidden struggles associated with the condition. “A lot of times it’s an invisible illness, so we don’t always see the battle people are fighting,” Buongiorno said. “It’s just a lot of perseverance and trying to push through the pain because that’s my biggest symptom.”

She emphasized her determination to continue participating in Bike MS rides despite the physical toll of training. “It’s a hundred miles. I’m extremely stubborn, which makes the training even worse because I’ll lay on the floor, get myself together and then get back up again,” Buongiorno said.

Cyclists will cross the finish line tomorrow as the two-day event officially concludes.

Brother with DUI tries to get driver’s license using brother’s identity - but police pull the plug

Doug Filaroski — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 02:26:46 +0000

Police said Michael Ryan, 22, of Palm Coast, turned himself in to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office after he used his brother’s identity to obtain a replacement driver’s license because his own license was revoked.

In September, Ryan went to the tax collector’s office and claimed to be his brother, saying he’d lost his license. He gave his brother’s Social Security number to verify his identity.

Ryan had his picture taken for a replacement license in his brother’s name. However, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles Fraud Division confirmed that the man applying for the license was Ryan, not his brother, Flagler County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post on Saturday.

“This guy certainly won’t win the brother of the year award,” Flagler Sheriff Rick Staly said. “This is just a series of stupid decisions by Ryan to skirt the law.”

The sheriff’s office detectives obtained an arrest warrant on October 8 for Ryan for obtaining a driver’s license by fraud.

“First, he drives drunk. Big mistake,” Staly said. “Then he tries to get around the suspension of his license by posing as his brother, thinking he wouldn’t get caught.”

Ryan turned himself in on the warrant for obtaining a driver’s license by fraud. He is being held at the St. Johns County Jail on a $2,500 bond.

Isaias serves as a reminder of the importance of volunteers’ work restoring beaches

Jessica Salinas — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 21:01:26 +0000

Volunteers expect to pull over 1,500 pounds of invasive plants in Jacksonville for a beach dune restoration.

With Hurricane Isaias, it’s a reminder to keep our sand dunes ready.

More than 50 community members rolled up their sleeves and grabbed buckets this week to protect the local coastline from an aggressive, fast-spreading threat.

>>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<<

In a targeted environmental effort coordinated by the Surfrider Foundation, 55 volunteers spent two hours clearing invasive plant species across a two-block stretch of Jacksonville Beach sand dunes. Within the first hour alone, organizers confirmed they had successfully removed over 700 pounds of non-native vegetation, with total expectations aiming for nearly 2,000 pounds by the end of the day.

The environmental cleanup worked as part of Florida National Climate Week, a statewide initiative highlighting localized efforts to combat ecological damage and boost climate resilience.

The primary target of the cleanup is a destructive succulent known colloquially as “Mother of Millions” (Kalanchoe).

“Every leaf has hundreds of plantlets on it. Every plantlet can make a new plant,” explained Eli Cunningham of the Surfrider Foundation. “So it spreads like wildfire and it chokes out our native plants.”

Invasive species like Kalanchoe possess shallow root systems. According to Surfrider’s Katie Bauman, these shallow roots overcrowd the area, making it increasingly difficult for deeply anchored native plants to survive. “We’re out here making our dunes stronger, healthy,” Bauman said.

[DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks]

Organizers stressed that maintaining a balanced, native ecosystem is vital to protecting the town from worsening coastal weather. In the wake of structural reminders left behind by storms like Hurricane Isaias, experts emphasize that a natural dune barrier offers far superior security than man-made infrastructure.

“A healthy dune system can absorb wave energy, can slow erosion, and can stop those tides that are coming in from Nor’easters, from the King Tides, from storms during hurricane season,” Cunningham said. He noted that robust dunes serve as the community’s first and best line of defense—outperforming rock walls, steel barriers, or traditional seawalls.

By removing the foreign weeds, volunteers are giving native species the vital space they need to multiply. “We’re giving the natural plants more room to expand and anchor the dunes in place to protect our community,” Cunningham added.

[SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter]

The Surfrider Foundation plans to return and do more work at the Jacksonville Beach dunes in March to monitor the growth of the cleared areas. The group is also exploring future initiatives to actively plant more native species to further reinforce the shoreline.

Local officials issued a reminder to beachgoers that while the invasive plants pose an ecological risk, residents should not attempt to pull them on their own. Dune restoration requires strict environmental oversight, and organizers had to secure a special permit to execute the cleanup.

Talking the Tropics w/Mike: Isais remnants still dropping heavy rain..Rachel near SoCal.Simon-Mexico

Mike Buresh — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 13:15:12 +0000

THE TROPICS:

***** ALWAYS CHECK & RE-CHECK THE LATEST FORECAST & UPDATES! ****

This blog is written & updated daily by *me* - Mike Buresh.

Tropics threats/impacts for Jacksonville/NE Florida/SE Georgia: Peripheral lingering outer bands loosely connected to what’s left of Isaias well to the north exit by later Sunday. Rough seas & surf are diminishing with an offshore wind - out of the west - taking over.

The Atlantic Basin Overview:

The Atlantic hurricane season is June 1st through Nov. 30th. The peak of the season is September 10th.

The average date of the ninth named storm of the season is September 9th (8 so far)... first Atlantic hurricane avg. date is Aug. 11 (none this season so far).

** A tropical wave over the far Eastern Atlantic off the coast of Africa has a small window of opportunity to organize before encountering strong wind shear. Some heavy rain & gusty winds for the Cape Verde Islands but the wave will not be able to make it very west before turning northward.

** The NHC upgraded the area of low pressure over the Western Gulf to tropical depression #9 Tue. afternoon & to tropical depression “Isaias” early Wednesday followed by rapid intensification to a hurricane Wed. evening about 11:30pm - the first hurricane of the Atlantic season... & became a Cat. 3 Fri. morning... & made landfall near Destin in the far Western Fl. Panhandle about 9:30pm EDT with strongest winds estimated to be near 105 mph (165 km/h)/Cat. 2. The estimated minimum central pressure was 971 mb (28.67 inches). Isaias quickly became post-tropical (typical of tropical systems later in the season once making landfall) early Saturday morning. The intensity leveled off then decreased some upon approach to the coast due to strong westerly wind shear & some dry air intrusion. Still... Isaias - the first U.S. landfalling hurricane since Milton in 2024 - & its impacts were significant - major near & just east of the eye - from Southeast Mississippi to especially Southeast Alabama to the Central & Western Fl. Panhandle with strong winds, heavy rain, flooding & tornadoes.

( “Isaias” (repeat from 2020) was memorable 6 years ago for the flooding & tornado outbreak from the Carolina’s to Mid-Atlantic to New England.)

Isaias continues weakening well inland as the remnant low pressure system turns more northeast through the Tennessee Valley & eventually Mid-Atlantic states still dropping heavy rain & triggering isolated tornadoes.

A combination of factors made the forecast for Isaias - especially the intensity - challenging to say the least. The AI models did quite well even with genesis which has often been a shortcoming. But a shout out to the ol’ & often much maligned American GFS model for also sniffing out this one many days in advance. The European model had its share of problems. The UKMET model did pretty well overall.

Wind shear was strong - out of the west/southwest at 25-40+ mph across the Northern Gulf but was weaker during formative stages through early Friday farther to the south. There was a fair amount of dry mid & upper level air advancing from the north toward the Northwest Gulf arriving in tandem with landfall at which point the underside (south) of Isaias was quickly scoured away. This surge of dry air from west to east will enhance the wind & possibly tornado threat Saturday to the east of Isaias’s track.

Working in favor of Isaias - the Gulf was plenty warm. In fact, the hurricane passed over an eddy of very deep warm ocean water over the Central Gulf. Reasonably strong upper level divergence (air spreading apart/a “chimney” effect) due to the proximity of an upper level trough to the north was also helpful. And last but not least, a MJO “pulse” is in a favorable position to enhance tropical activity over the Atlantic Basin, particularly the Gulf.

South Fl. Water Management District:

Water temps. in the Gulf are at least in the 80s... shear has been on the order of 25-40+ mph over the Northern Gulf:

A map of deep oceanic heat content (OHC) shows a warm “eddy” that was in the path of Isaias:

7-day rainfall forecast nationally:

Upper level model (Euro) forecast was for Fri. night clearly shows the ridge of high pressure near/east of Florida & the trough of low pressure over Texas - teaming up to create the “alleyway”:

Isaias found a little “sweet spot” over the Western & Central Gulf that couched between the strongest shear over very warm water & with some extra help from a pulse of the MJO, so Oct. 7, 2026 is now the latest date during the satellite era for the first Atlantic hurricane of the season.

So, 2026 has established a record for the satellite era - since 1966 - for no Atlantic hurricanes on or before Sept. 11. Strong wind shear has dominated much of the Atlantic Basin - especially south of about 20 degrees N. This is a hallmark of an El Nino season - see the “Buresh Blog” for more on our strong Pacific El Nino. There have been two seasons - since the mid 1800s - with zero Atlantic hurricanes - 1907 & 1914.

‘Velocity potential anomalies’ below. “Rising” air (green lines) equates with an uptick in overall convection. With rising air, conditions are generally more favorable for tropical development. Where there are brown lines, the air is generally sinking & is often less conducive to tropical cyclones (though not impossible to have development).

Saharan dust spreads west each year from Africa driven by the prevailing winds (from east to west over the Atlantic). Dry air = yellow/orange/red/pink. Widespread dust is indicative of dry air that *can* interfere with the development of tropical cyclones. However, sometimes “wanna’ be” waves will just wait until they get to the other side of - or away from - the dust plume then try to develop if other conditions are favorable (we saw this with Beryl & Debby last year). It’s my personal opinion that there is way too much “hoopla” about the presence of Saharan dust & how it relates to tropical cyclones. In any case, the peak of Saharan dust typically is in June & July, & we are indeed seeing a large “blobs” of Saharan dust over the Central & Eastern Atlantic that’s thinning with westward extent but enough of it to make for hazy skies across the Caribbean & - at times - across parts of Florida.

Crash on Edgewood Ave. in Magnolia Gardens claims driver’s life, sends car’s passenger to hospital

Doug Filaroski — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 23:18:10 +0000

A crash Sunday on Edgewood Avenue in the Magnolia Gardens neighborhood killed a man and sent another person to the hospital, police said.

The driver of a Toyota Scion traveling south on Cleveland Road crashed into a Dodge Ram being driven west on Edgewood Ave. about 4 p.m.

The driver of the Scion - and man in his late 60s - and his passenger were both taken to the hospital, where the driver died, police said.

A Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said later Sunday during a press briefing held in Northwest section neighborhood that the driver of the Dodge sustained only minor injuries.

The incident shut down traffic at the intersection for an a brief period.

Police said the man’s death was the 127th traffic fatality in Duval County this year.

St. Augustine sees flooding after back-to-back heavy rainfall days

Caysea Stone — Sun, 11 Oct 2026 00:54:36 +0000

Several areas of St. Augustine saw flooding on Saturday as Hurricane Isaias’ outer bands stretched inland.

Action News Jax observed some of the worst flooding in St. Augustine’s Historic District, though videos shared online showed water covering roadways in multiple neighborhoods.

While traveling into St. Augustine around 4:30 p.m., Action News Jax saw cars driving through pools of standing water. They sent water spraying across roadways as drivers navigated flooded streets.

Action News Jax’s First Alert Weather Team says many areas have received more than a foot of rain so far this month.

In parts of the Historic District, floodwaters appeared to be roughly eight inches deep. Cars moving through the area created waves that washed toward sidewalks with each pass.

Despite the flooding, some visitors said the conditions were not enough to derail their plans.

“We just love, you know, walking through tide pools,” said Josh D’Amor, who’s vacationing in St. Augustine with his wife. “We’ve just been making sure I don’tsee a gator pop up or anything like that.”

Social media videos highlighted some of the challenges drivers faced through other parts of the city.

One Facebook video recorded Friday night at Sunset Grille in St. Augustine Beach showed a man attempting to move his car after becoming stuck in floodwater along State Route A1A.

Doug Willis, who lives about a half-mile from the area, said conditions around his neighborhood were also severe.

“Our backyard did have water up over the ankles, and the street behind us, they flooded up to your knee,” Willis said.

Action News Jax will continue monitoring floodwaters, which are expected to recede as Post-tropical Cyclone Isaias continues to move north and the area begins to dry out.>>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<<

Police arrest suspect in Friday deadly shooting near a store on Broward Road

Doug Filaroski — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 21:39:12 +0000

Police said they arrested a 32-year-old man for gunning down another man near a convenience store on Broward Road on Friday night.

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Keith Bernard Carter, Jr. is being held in Duval County Jail on second-degree murder charges for the shooting death near Interstate Center Dr.

LIVE UPDATES: Isaias now a post-tropical cyclone in the Carolinas; State begins cleanup and recovery

Jenna Bartkovsky, Doug Filaroski — Sat, 10 Oct 2026 18:22:46 +0000

Isaias made landfall as a Category 2 hurricane near Destin on Friday, and weakened into a post-tropical cyclone as it moved into the Carolinas on Saturday.

By Sunday, most of the weather effects will have ended, but residents and businesses will be hard at work on recovery in the days and weeks ahead.

LIVE UPDATES:

7 PM: Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Department of Transportation summarized the state’s response so far to damages brought by the powerful storm. Here are some of the highlights:

Military & Law Enforcement Deployment: The Florida National Guard activated roughly 5,000 personnel alongside 400 Florida State Guard soldiers to execute search and rescue, distribute emergency supplies, and clear blocked roadways. Locally, the Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department sent about 40 first responders to assist. Meanwhile, the Florida Highway Patrol and FDLE deployed quick-response cut-and-toss teams and mobile command centers to secure critical infrastructure and clear major evacuation corridors like Interstate 10.
Transportation & Infrastructure Recovery: All state-owned coastal bridges and major interstates have been reopened following rapid morning inspections. To ease evacuation and relief logistics, the state temporarily waived tolls on select Panhead parkways and suspended size and weight restrictions for commercial carriers.
Health & Social Services Coordination: The Florida Department of Health and Agency for Health Care Administration worked alongside local emergency teams to maintain operations at special needs shelters and coordinate facility evacuations. Private sector partners like Uber and Comcast stepped in by offering free shelter transit rides and opening over 26,000 public Wi-Fi hotspots across impacted regions.
Business & Consumer Assistance: FloridaCommerce activated the Business Damage Assessment Survey to evaluate economic impacts, while Volunteer Florida mobilized networks to distribute critical cleaning supplies, food buckets, and temporary emergency housing options.

2 PM: Governor DeSantis and other state leaders hold a press conference in Destin after surveying storm damage.
