Nameless storm tests Sun Coast then backs off
Sebastian D Alli and Sarasota County civil defense crews awoke to 30 to 60 mph winds and rising tides as a nameless tropical storm brushed the Sun Coast. The storm cooled suddenly, receded, and left island residents relieved after a nerve wracking dry run with no advance warning. D Alli coordinated with Manatee and Charlotte Counties and activated weather alerts before the system dissipated.
