Major I-10 backup near Yellow Water Rd

An overturned semi has completely shut down all eastbound lanes on I-10 just past Yellow Water Road, turning the morning commute into a standstill. Drivers are being squeezed into the emergency lane while crews work to clear the wreck. If you’re heading this way, expect major delays and consider an alternate route. It’s a real mess out there—has anyone seen traffic moving at all? Let’s keep each other updated if you spot any changes or have tips for getting around this jam. #Transportation #I10Traffic #Jacksonville

Jacksonville unites for safer worship spaces

Attending a holiday service or community gathering should never come with fear, yet recent attacks like the Hanukkah tragedy in Sydney remind us that hate-fueled violence is a real threat—even far from home. In Jacksonville, where diversity is our strength, it’s time to talk about how we can better protect our places of worship and cultural centers. Proactive security funding isn’t just a policy—it's about making sure every family feels safe celebrating their traditions. How can we, as neighbors, stand together to reject hate and keep our community safe for everyone? #Religion #Jacksonville #CommunitySafety

Christmas Day traffic mess on Fuller Warren Bridge

Holiday travel plans hit a major snag for Jacksonville drivers this Christmas Day after a crash on the Fuller Warren Bridge spilled fluid across I-95. For hours, three lanes were blocked, turning the bridge into a parking lot and causing major headaches for anyone trying to get to family gatherings or events. Everything finally cleared up by 5 p.m., but it’s a reminder of how quickly a single incident can disrupt an entire city’s flow—especially on a day when everyone’s just trying to get home. Anyone else caught in this mess or have stories about holiday traffic chaos? #Transportation #Jacksonville #ChristmasDay
