Isaias continues to strengthen over the southern Gulf and will make landfall along the northern Gulf Coast late Friday or early Saturday. Lopsided impacts along and east of the center include flooding rains, wind, tornadoes, and storm surge potential. Check your hurricane kits and more updates to come. Preparations should be complete by midday Friday.
Just having enough supplies to make it through a hurricane isnβt enough. You need plenty to make it through what could be a LONG recovery period too. Water and electricity could be out for a week or more. Have enough non-perishable food, water, and medicine to last each person in your family for AT LEAST a week. Also make sure you have extra cash, a battery-powered radio, flashlights, and a portable crank or solar-powered USB charger to charge your cell phone.
There is a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) for tornadoes, Friday and Saturday. For Friday, the threat will be highest across the Florida Panhandle into the western Florida Big Bend, extreme southwestern Georgia, and far southern Alabama. For Saturday, the threat expands across Southeastern Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, the western Florida Big Bend and much of southwestern Georgia.
A Flood Watch is in effect for much of the area starting Friday afternoon and lasting into Saturday evening. Locally heavy rain from tropical rainbands around Isaias will bring 5 to 10 inches of widespread rainfall in the Flood Watch area with locally higher amounts of 10 to 15 inches. This much rain would lead to isolated to scattered instances of flash flooding, especially in more urban and low-lying areas. River flooding is also a concern due to the recent rain much of the area received this past weekend.
