POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* FLOODING RAIN:
POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM THE FLOODING RAIN ARE STILL UNFOLDING ACROSS
THE FAR EASTERN BIG BEND AREA. REMAIN WELL GUARDED AGAINST LOCALLY
HAZARDOUS FLOOD WATERS HAVING POSSIBLE LIMITED IMPACTS. IF REALIZED,
THESE IMPACTS INCLUDE:
    - LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL MAY RESULT IN FLOODING OF LOW LYING
      AREAS, NECESSITATING BASIC PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT VULNERABLE
      STRUCTURES.
    - RIVERS AND ASSOCIATED TRIBUTARY CREEKS AND STREAMS WILL RISE
      AND APPROACH BANKFULL LEVELS. RUNOFF WILL INCREASE WATER LEVELS
      IN AREA HOLDING PONDS AND DRAINAGE DITCHES, REDUCING STORAGE
      CAPACITY TO ABSORB FUTURE RAINFALL.
    - ISOLATED FLOODING IN LOW LYING AREAS WILL MAKE DRIVING
      DIFFICULT. PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING AREAS MAY RESULT IN
      BRIEF ROAD CLOSURES.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PANHANDLE, SOUTHWEST GEORGIA,
AND SOUTHEAST ALABAMA, LITTLE TO NO IMPACT IS ANTICIPATED.

* SURGE:
POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM THE MAIN SURGE EVENT ARE NOW UNFOLDING ACROSS
THE BIG BEND ALONG APALACHEE BAY. REMAIN WELL AWAY FROM LOCALLY
HAZARDOUS SURGE. IF REALIZED, THESE IMPACTS INCLUDE:
    - LOCALIZED INUNDATION WITH STORM SURGE FLOODING, MAINLY ALONG
      THE IMMEDIATE COAST OR IN LOW LYING AREAS JUST INLAND. HIGHER
      WAVES MAY LOCALLY INCREASE AREA OF FLOODING.
    - ISOLATED SECTIONS OF COASTAL HIGHWAYS AND ACCESS ROADS FLOODED,
      MAKING TRAVELING IN THESE AREAS DANGEROUS DUE TO FLOOD WATERS.
    - MODERATE BEACH EROSION. LARGE BREAKERS WILL WILL ERODE DUNES IN
      MORE VULNERABLE LOCATIONS.
    - MINOR DAMAGE TO MARINAS, DOCKS, AND PIERS. A FEW SMALL CRAFT
      NOT SECURED PRIOR TO THE STORM WILL BREAK AWAY FROM MOORINGS.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PANHANDLE, LITTLE TO NO
IMPACT IS ANTICIPATED.

* TORNADOES:
POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM TORNADOES ARE STILL UNFOLDING ACROSS THE EASTERN
BIG BEND AREA. REMAIN WELL BRACED AGAINST A TORNADO EVENT
HAVING POSSIBLE LIMITED IMPACTS. IF REALIZED, THESE IMPACTS INCLUDE:
    - ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE EXPECTED, RESULTING IN A NOTABLE IMPACT
      TO AFFECTED COMMUNITIES.
    - ISOLATED AREAS AFFECTED BY TORNADOES WILL EXPERIENCE MINOR
      DAMAGE, INCLUDING SOME DAMAGE TO STRUCTURES AND SPORADIC POWER
      AND COMMUNICATION OUTAGES.
    - A FEW STRUCTURES WILL BE DAMAGED BY TORNADOES, MAINLY WITH LOSS
      OF SHINGLES OR SIDING. SOME MOBILE HOMES WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY
      DAMAGED, ESPECIALLY THOSE UNANCHORED. LARGE TREES WILL BE
      SNAPPED OR UPROOTED.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA
INTO SOUTHWEST GEORGIA LITTLE TO NO IMPACT IS ANTICIPATED.

* WIND:
POTENTIAL IMPACTS FROM THE MAIN WIND EVENT ARE NOW UNFOLDING ACROSS
THE BIG BEND. REMAIN WELL SHELTERED FROM HAZARDOUS
WIND HAVING LIMITED IMPACTS. IF REALIZED, THESE IMPACTS INCLUDE:
    - MINOR DAMAGE TO FRAME BUILT HOMES, LIMITED PRIMARILY DUE TO
      LOSS OF ROOF SHINGLES OR GUTTERS AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO PORCHES,
      AWNINGS, CARPORTS AND SHEDS. SOME MOBILE HOMES DAMAGED.
      UNSECURED LIGHTWEIGHT OBJECTS BLOWN AROUND.
    - A FEW TREES UPROOTED, WITH MANY LARGE LIMBS SNAPPED.
    - ISOLATED ROAD CLOSURES DUE TO FALLEN DEBRIS, ESPECIALLY IN
      WOODED AREAS.
    - ISOLATED POWER AND COMMUNICATION OUTAGES.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE EASTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE, SOUTHEASTERN ALABAMA
AND SOUTHWESTERN GEORGIA, LITTLE TO NO IMPACT IS ANTICIPATED.

* OTHER COASTAL HAZARDS:
STRONG ONSHORE FLOW AND INCREASING SURF WILL RESULT IN A HIGH RISK
OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND PANHANDLE COAST.
EVERYONE...INCLUDING EXPERIENCED SWIMMERS AND SURFERS SHOULD REMAIN
OUT OF THE WATER.
