Right now Tropical Storm Isaac is dumping lot’s of rain and strong winds in south Florida. It’s dark outside, with no signs of sun. Tornado watch has been issued for Weston and it’s surrounding area’s
Hurricane warnings continue for the Florida Keys and parts of south and southwest Florida. Hurricane watches are now posted from the mouth of the Mississippi River to Indian Pass, Fla. This includes Biloxi, Gulf Shores, Pensacola Beach, Destin/Ft. Walton Beach, and Apalachicola. Watches also continue for inland Miami-Dade, metro Miami-Dade and coastal Miami-Dade
According to the National Hurricane Center, if peak storm surge occurs at high tide, peak water levels above ground could reach the following depths as Isaac moves by:
- Crystal River through Big Bend of Florida: 4-7 feet
- Southwest Fla. coast (in hurr. warning area): 4-6 feet
- Fla. west coast, including Tampa Bay: 3-5 feet
- Southeast Fla. coast, Fla. Keys: 1-3 feet
- Central, eastern Cuba: 1-3 feet
- Bahamas: 1-3 feet
My prayers and thoughts are with the people in the projected track of Isaac. Hang in there, stay safe, have enough supplies of water, food and flash lights for the next 3 days.
We shall overcome this!!
