Tropical Cyclone Local Statement issued October 10 at 5:09AM EDT by NWS Tallahassee FL

HLSTAE This product covers eastern Florida panhandle, Florida Big Bend, southeastern Alabama and southwestern Georgia **POST-TROPICAL CYCLONE ISAIAS CONTINUES PULLING AWAY FROM THE REGION. ALL TROPICAL HEADLINES HAVE BEEN DROPPED** NEW INFORMATION --------------- * CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - All watches and warnings have been canceled * CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - None * STORM INFORMATION: - About 140 miles north-northwest of Panama City or about 180 miles north-northwest of Apalachicola - 32.0N 86.5W - Storm Intensity 35 mph - Movement North or 360 degrees at 14 mph SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------ At 5 AM ET, Post-Tropical Cyclone Isaias was moving north at 20 mph over Southern Alabama with max sustained winds of 35 mph. This downgraded system has pulled far enough away from the region to warrant dropping all tropical headlines with this advisory cycle. The previous Storm Surge Warning has been replaced by a Coastal Flood Advisory for the FL Panhandle and Big Bend Forgotten coast where inundation values of 1 to 3 feet above normally dry ground are possible through today. Very heavy rain was observed earlier this evening mainly along and just east of Isaias' track. Radar-estimated amounts highlight a swath of 7 to 8 inches from coastal Walton County, FL into western Geneva, and Coffee County, AL with isolated amounts in excess of 10 inches. Standing water is likely at those locations. Although much of the flooding rain threat has subsided, additional bands of showers with embedded heavy rain are expected to focus across the Forgotten Coast, Florida Big Bend, and I-75 corridor. A Flood Watch remains in effect for points east of US-19. The tornado risk has also diminished substantially overnight, but there is another window of opportunity for potential tornadic circulations within the aforementioned bands through this afternoon. Despite the overall improved weather conditions, residents are urged to remain vigilant with respect to damage in the form of downed trees and power lines, in addition to any standing water from flooding rains, and continued hazardous beach conditions.Listen to local officials during any cleanup efforts. Exercise caution if affected by power outages. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * FLOODING RAIN: Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across the Florida Big Bend and parts of Southwest Georgia. Remain well guarded against dangerous flood waters having further impacts of significant potential. * TORNADOES: Additional impacts from tornadoes are still a concern across the Florida Big Bend and parts of Southwest Georgia. Remain well braced against dangerous tornado event having further significant impact potential. * SURGE: Minor impacts are anticipated at this time across eastern Florida Panhandle and Big Bend Forgotten Coast. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do not tie up communications systems. Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their points of contact. Do not attempt to return to evacuated areas until local authorities have inspected roads and bridges and have given the all clear. Hazards like downed power lines and trees, washed out roads, continued flooding in low lying areas and non-functioning traffic lights make travel difficult. Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers interfere with the emergency work of first responders. When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other leaking flammables. When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes. Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance. Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience do the job. Never cut trees without a partner. If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from open doors and windows. Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable. Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts and heed any flood watches and warnings. Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover the road. Turn around, don't drown! Have multiple ways to receive Tornado Warnings if issued. Consider nearby shelter options as you move about. Be ready to shelter quickly. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- As it pertains to this event...this will be the last local statement issued by the National Weather Service in Tallahassee FL regarding the effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.

HLSBMX This product covers Central Alabama ** Flash flooding risk continues across all of Central Alabama ** NEW INFORMATION --------------- * CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - All watches and warnings have been canceled * CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - None * STORM INFORMATION: - About 110 miles south of Birmingham AL or about 30 miles south-southwest of Montgomery AL - 32.0N 86.5W - Storm Intensity 35 mph - Movement North or 360 degrees at 14 mph SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------ Hurricane Isaias made landfall earlier this evening near Destin, FL with max sustained winds of 105 MPH and a central pressure of 971 mb. The system has since become quite disorganized with the center becoming ill defined and has become post-tropical with the characteristic broadening wind field and expanding precipitation area. Further weakening is expected as the system continues to move north then northeast into Eastern Tennessee and toward the Mid Atlantic States. With the system now post-tropical, we are discontinuing all tropical- based products. The Tropical Storm Warning is being replaced by a Wind Advisory and the High Wind Warning will remain in effect across our far northeast counties. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * WIND: Little to no additional wind impacts expected. - Community officials are now assessing the extent of actual wind impacts accordingly. - Emergency work crews are restoring essential community infrastructure as necessary. - If you have an emergency dial 9 1 1. Elsewhere across Central Alabama, little to no impact is anticipated. * FLOODING RAIN: Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across Central Alabama. Remain well guarded against locally hazardous flood waters having further impacts of limited potential. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: Remain safely sheltered until conditions improve. When going outside be sure to stay away from downed power lines, hazardous debris and flooded areas. If your home or shelter was damaged, be alert to the smell of gas leaks and be cautious around electrical wiring, broken glass, jagged metal and wood, and protruding nails and screws. Check to see if everyone in your group is OK. Administer first aid to those who are injured. If possible, call 9 1 1 for any serious injuries. Remember, it may be difficult for emergency responders to arrive quickly. Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do not tie up communications systems. Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their points of contact. Allow extra time for emergency vehicles to reach you as they navigate road hazards. When entering areas that have been heavily damaged, bring along a GPS-enabled device to help with street navigation. Do not drive on roads that have been marked closed. Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers interfere with the emergency work of first responders. When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other leaking flammables. Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe. Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can blow you off the roof. When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes. Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance. Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience do the job. Never cut trees without a partner. If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from open doors and windows. Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable. Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened trees and/or power lines, collapse damaged structures, or cause flying debris. Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts and heed any flood watches and warnings. Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover the road. Turn around, don't drown! Have multiple ways to receive Tornado Warnings if issued. Consider nearby shelter options as you move about. Be ready to shelter quickly. * ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION: - For information on appropriate preparations see ready.gov - For information on creating an emergency plan see getagameplan.org - For additional disaster preparedness information see redcross.org NEXT UPDATE ----------- As it pertains to this event...this will be the last local statement issued by the National Weather Service in Birmingham AL regarding the effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.
