The ocean is going to be a mess straight through Saturday, the council signed off on ninety seven apartments at Broken Sound without saying what they cost, and the hospital opens its new tower to patients before the month is out.

Let's get into it.

The National Weather Service reissued its high surf, coastal flood and rip current advisories for coastal Palm Beach County at 11:58pm last night. Waves were washing over the south jetty at Boca Inlet on Tuesday.

Five to eight foot breakers, moderate coastal flooding, and none of it clears until Saturday.

Parks and low roads get it worst.

Council approved Park Tower at Broken Sound on a 3 to 1 vote, eight stories at 1075 and 1095 NW Broken Sound Parkway. A one story industrial building comes down for 97 rentals.

Ten of the 97 are set aside as affordable, at 120 percent of the county median income.

What the other eighty seven cost is still nobody's business.

Boca Raton Regional Hospital moves its first patients into the Gloria Drummond Patient Tower at 800 Meadows Road by the end of October. Eight stories, 216 private rooms, 20 operating rooms.

Up to $750 million, and named for a woman who lost two children in 1962, when Boca had no hospital.

She spent the next five years making sure the next family had one.
