An Astounding Rain Total of a little under 4 Inches

We received an astounding amount of rain in the past few hours. Currently, the official rainfall total on Skidaway Island is a little under 4" of rain. We are still receiving the rain so we could get even more.

Right now, we are under a Flood Watch. This just means that poorly drained areas will mostly likely have some shallow flooding. This type of advisory is only issued when there is a minimal threat to life or property. However, heavy flooding can and probably will occur in poorly drained areas. Therefore, be careful while driving as a vehicle can be swept away in only two feet of moving water. A person can be swept away in only six inches of water.

We will keep you updated on the situation that is occurring. We will also post a Tropical Update in about an hour with the latest information from the tropics.
