Haven’t seen the Cedar Key storm surge values. Have been busy answering warning alert sirens since last night. With every squall since then, we get a new flash flood warning. There have been more squalls than I can count.

Debby is a pokey-cane. May slow down to less than 7 mph.

Windy.com is always useful for tracking weather events.

We’re good if we don’t go anywhere this evening.

I must go to Tampa tomorrow. My buddy said Tampa is experiencing sever flooding too.

They closed the Howard Frankenstein and Skyway.

Don’t know if they’re back open.

I suggest airboats.

Hurricane Floyd caused the Tar River to crest at 42 ft, which is 22 ft above flood stage. The Pamlico Sound was an ecological disaster with contaminants including fertilizers and pesticides. Nearly 3 million animals died, mostly due to drowning. In Duplin County alone, 750,000 turkeys and 100,000 hogs were killed by the storm.

Last I heard, the Skyway Bridge was still closed due to high winds.

The northbound lanes of the Howard Frankland Bridge closed Monday morning after heavy waves washed out part of the roadway. Last night cars were getting swamped driving over the bridge.

Thanks for putting this thread together.

You all in LA and TX, keep an eye on the other storm out there. It is forecasted to go over the Yucatan and get into the Gulf probably by this weekend.

The Neuse, Tar other Pamlico feeder rivers may get hit by this storm but the Northside of the Albemarle feeds from the Roanoke and Chowan whose more northernly drainage ate expected to get less as of now.

"In my opinion we have this incredible model variation because of the proximity of the two high pressure areas trapping the hurricane from steering forces that almost always what these models build off of in their predictions. Until the resolution of the conjoined highs this sucker is going to break dance in south GA giving everything from central FL to the NC line storm band training floods."

The other half of the equation is the Fujiwara "flirtation" late Tues-early Wed with the descending baggy trough out of the Great Lakes. This is why some models push it out into the Atlantic but then pull it back onshore in a really ugly 72-hour rain bamb centered on Charleston, SC. Shades of Harvey's doom loop in Houston.

Ominous setup for a Harvey inundation scenario.
