2021 is coming to an end

 It has been a very, very long time since I last posted anything to this blog. In what might well be my only post of this entire year, I have to say that 2021 has been a very interesting year for sure.

Miami is returning to normal (slowly)

I have not been posting to this blog for almost 2 months as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Miami. This is because events were occurring so fast, that it would have been almost impossible to update the list so regularly.

However, things are slowly returning to what is known as 'the new normal'. Many businesses within Miami-Dade opened up on Monday 18 May, and it is expected that the vast majority will be open by Monday 1 June.

This is not without changes though, Miami-Dade County has enforced mandatory mask wearing and social distancing measures, which are riling up some of the county's residents. This will continue for an indefinite amount of time (potentially becoming a permanent rule, even after COVID-19 ends), at least until the pandemic ends.

Coronavirus in Miami

Because the response to the Coronavirus is so rapidly dynamic, I have decided to re-use my blog, and create a running page, detailing the spread of the Coronavirus in Miami. You can find the link to the page here

Happy New Year

Happy New Year 2020 from Jack Fawsitt Productions

December 2019 Update

Hello and welcome back! It feels like it has been forever since my last post about Hurricane Dorian. I feel so grateful that the Category 5 hurricane passed by Miami, after being initially forecast to impact the city. However, the same cannot be said for the Northern Bahama Islands, which received total destruction from Dorian.

Now, let me talk about this festive period. Things have been going well for Jack Fawsitt Productions over the last month. On YouTube, I have been releasing daily videos every day throughout December in the form of a video series called 'Vlogmas'. In the series, I talk about what it is like to celebrate Christmas in Miami. Throughout the last month, engagement to my YouTube channel has been at an all time high, with the most popular videos being those about the Latin influence on Miami's Christmas celebrations.

On Instagram, I have also begun to post the photos that I took when I was in the United Kingdom in October 2019. I will be continuing to post them throughout the early part of 2020.

In other news, I have also started a presence on a hugely popular social video app in the United States at the very climax of 2019, that is popular with my generation (Generation Z): TikTok. Going forward into 2020, I will be posting short videos from within Miami onto TikTok.

Thank you for reading this post from Jack Fawsitt Productions, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year 2020!

The latest track for Hurricane Dorian (23:00 on 2 September 2019)

Here is the latest track for Hurricane Dorian as of the 23:00 advisory. For the first time, it is expected that Hurricane Dorian will shift far enough East that the Florida coastline could be spared. However, as this storm has exceeded all predicted expectations, it is unpredictable where Dorian will actually go. The storm is near stationary, which is worsening the already dire impacts for the Northern islands of The Bahamas. Relief efforts are already underway in Miami earlier today. If you would like to see the 11:00 and 17:00 tracks, follow my Hurricane Dorian highlight on my Instagram handle.
