It’s WINDY today, unlike yesterday. Squalls come through with pouring rain, then abruptly stops- you know the drill. Tornado watch over here. Looks like Jax is in for a rough morning.

Most of them are old money owning places for years. A lot of of home grow Georgians. I almost moved there but it is one way in one way out and no parking.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

I met John Berendt, the author once years ago along with UGA’s Sonny Seiler. Berendt was a strange but interesting guy. Yeah South Georgian’s are tough but the flooding this storm may bring is going to test their mettle.

~~~~~~ I am so jealous, and you met Sonny! Was Uga there? GO DAWGS

ICON Model now backing off of a Wilmington strike — mostly — but is in line with NHC track... and a ~966mb second landfall North of Hilton Head.

Morning. We're still under Flood and Tropical Storm warnings. Crazy! The tail on this storm continues to shovel squall lines onshore. All day today. Our water gauge clocked 7" rain thus far. But the street is not flooded. And that is good.

With all the local flooding, I'm guessing no trash pickup today.

Tornado warning N Central Polk Co. near Auberndale, moving NE at 40 mph.

With Debby drawing feeder bands from both the Gulf and Atlantic waters, it is a formidable storm system.

[alancarp]

Yeah, the 48-hr precipitation rates are well over a foot for a big area.

In Winter Haven I just got a cell phone alert that cloud rotation was spotted near Lake Alfred, a few miles from here. Tornado watch extended until 4 p.m. I have a pine tree branch (about 6-inch diameter) down in the front yard, but that is all I see this morning.

[NautiNurse]

With all of the rain and gusty winds, expect there will be a lot of inland trees damaged and down across central and north FL.

Lots and lots of inland tornadic activity with the system already. Keep weather alert sources close at hand.

[NautiNurse]

Along the Central FL Gulf coast, we are expecting squall lines to continue throughout the day. I guess we could call it an atmospheric river, as the MSM loves to say.

Same impact as Idalia last year. The Manatees there are not doing well as it is.

[FamiliarFace]

Family in Gainesville said roads are treacherous and roof at the shop is leaking. They canceled work for the day.

[FamiliarFace]

Are you in Crystal River or near there?

[CodeToad]

A few hours away near Mexico Beach.

Tornado warnings in my area off and on as a heavy rain band comes through north of Orlando. Seminole county is getting heavy rain and also had tornado warning in Altamonte Springs.
