Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 18th of October.
Good morning, Palm Bay.
🌲 Environment
The Orionid meteor shower, which is active now, will peak between Oct.
20 and Oct. 21 with 10 to 20 meteors per hour as Earth passes through debris left by Halley's comet—stargazers in Palm Bay should seek dark skies to view bright fireballs and glowing trails. This annual display offers a clear, fast-moving show enhanced by a nearly invisible waning crescent moon.
📰 Real Estate
A recent Zillow report shows that less than 3% of apartment listings in major Florida metro areas are priced under $1,000 a month, with Palm Bay at 3.8% and a median single room rent of $850.
The report notes that none of the 13 largest U.S. metro areas with a high share of low-cost listings come from Florida — highlighting the state’s limited affordable rental options.
🏈 Sports
At Wickham Park, local distance runners competed in the Cape Coast Conference championship meet and ran through a low section with 2 to 3 inches of water from recent rain.
Photographer Craig Bailey captured a striking image of the athletes pushing on — showing their determination in the wet conditions.
