.WINDS.
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 45 TO 55 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 65 MPH WILL
CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH AT LEAST TUES & POSSIBLY INTO
WEDNESDAY DEPENDING ON THE EVENTUAL TRACK OF DEBBY. WINDS MAY NOT
FALL BELOW TROPICAL STORM FORCE UNTIL WED NIGHT.
DAMAGING WINDS ARE LIKELY. SOME POORLY ANCHORED MOBILE HOMES WILL
BE PRONE TO DAMAGE. OTHER HOMES MAY HAVE DAMAGE TO
SHINGLES.SIDING.GUTTERS & WINDOWS.ESPECIALLY IF THESE
ITEMS ARE NOT PROPERLY SECURED. LOOSE OUTDOOR ITEMS WILL BECOME
AIRBORNE.CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE & POSSIBLE INJURY. POWER
LINES WILL BE KNOCKED DOWN BY FALLING TREES.RESULTING IN
SCATTERED POWER OUTAGES. MANY LARGE BRANCHES OF TREES WILL BE
SNAPPED.& A FEW TREES WILL BE UPROOTED.
.STORM SURGE & STORM TIDE.
COMBINED STORM SURGE & ASTRONOMICAL TIDE WATERS UP TO 4 FEET
ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL ARE LIKELY BEING REALIZED WITHIN AREAS
CLOSER TO THE COAST AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE. THIS IS
RESULTING IN WORST CASE FLOOD INUNDATION OF UP TO 3 FEET ABOVE
GROUND LEVEL WITHIN PARTS OF THE SURGE ZONE.PARTICULARLY IN GULF
COUNTY.
BECAUSE OF THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF TROPICAL STORM DEBBY.A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF COASTAL FLOODING IS LIKELY ACROSS THE WARNING
AREA. THIS FLOOD THREAT MAY CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY
AND INCLUDE SEVERAL HIGH TIDE CYCLES. RESIDENTS IN FLOOD PRONE
AREAS NEED TO PREPARE FOR THIS LONG DURATION SITUATION.
FLOODING OF THIS NATURE PRESENTS AN ELEVATED THREAT TO LIFE AND
PROPERTY HAVING A MODERATE IMPACT. IF THIS FLOODING IS
REALIZED.PEOPLE WITHIN THE THREATENED AREAS WHO FAIL TO HEED
EVACUATION ORDERS ARE PLACING THEMSELVES AT SOME MEASURE OF RISK.
MANY HOMES & BUSINESSES ALONG THE SHORELINE.OR IN FLOOD-PRONE
AREAS.WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE SOME WATER ENTERING INSIDE.
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE STRUCTURES NOT RAISED OR PROTECTED BY A
SEAWALL. HIGHER WAVES & POUNDING SURF WILL INCREASE THE
LIKELIHOOD OF PROPERTY DAMAGE NEAR THE COAST.ESPECIALLY IN
EXPOSED LOCATIONS. SOME CARS MAY TAKE ON WATER OR EVEN BECOME
DISPLACED.
MODERATE BEACH EROSION WILL OCCUR.WHICH MAY BECOME SUBSTANTIAL
IF CONDITIONS EXTEND THROUGH MULTIPLE HIGH TIDES. SEVERAL ROADS
IN FLOOD-PRONE AREAS WILL LIKELY BE CLOSED.
.INLAND FLOODING.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA.
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH DEBBY. COASTAL AREAS
CAN EXPECT AS MUCH AS 8 TO 10 INCHES THROUGH TUES WITH LESSER VALUES
OCCURRING FURTHER INLAND. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF THIS INTENSITY COULD
EASILY CAUSE DANGEROUS FLOODING IN LOW LYING AREAS.
.TORNADOES.
ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT & ON MON AS THE
STRONGER OUTER RAINBANDS OF DEBBY ROTATE ASHORE.
