😎Welcome to October!! Another pleasant one on tap today but still dealing with some hazardous surf conditions and tidal flooding so be careful around the coast. Make it a great one! weather.gov/ilm #ncwx #scwx #ilmwx #myrwx

Great summary of Idalia's impacts in FL from our friends NWS Tampa Bay and reminder of how a storm doesn't have to hit you directly for there to be significant impacts! Also, small changes in a storm can affect the impacts so it's important to prepare for a bit worse.

Coastal flooding is defined as inundation along the coast and can be caused by storm surge, onshore winds, high surf, or high astronomical tides. If coastal flooding is expected in your area, take action. weather.gov/safety/flood #WeatherReady

Minor coastal flooding continues early this week, due to higher than normal astronomical tides from a full moon, and persistent easterly swells.

IMPORTANT: On Wednesday, Oct. 4th at 2:20 p.m. ET, there will be a nationwide emergency alert test on cell phones, wireless devices, radios, and TVs. This is a standard test that occurs at least once every three years. No action is needed. Info & FAQs: fema.gov/emergency-mana…
