It will be east of pensacola surrounding this. Gusts up to 85 miles perou we have reporterioned across the west coast of florida. Tomorrow morningitalready will have moved to southeastern and the carolina coastline by this time tomorrow night. Our bigger concern is what is going to happen over the next six hours because as this moves inland there is a ton of trailing moisture. We have been watching this for it isnt moving much. Eventually it will move east but then it wont move from there. So you could have this band on top of us for 30 hours. And a second band is just developing behind it.

I noticed it was it makes you a little concerned if it does. Back at the beach traffic moving as wantinued to spill t on the street.

Reporting live one to the panhandle with are seeing t of rain and conditionsedthere in the last two hours . Reporter we about the calm before the storm it truly like somebody flipped on a switch. They are in downtown tallahassee and this picked up substantially the rain. Picking up with some nice wind and breezes coming through. It hasnt been too bad all day today. But as the storm makes its way lot more wind. As we were coming in earlier today you saw a lot of downed trees and explosions in the sky as he came into downtown tallahassee because of transformers were watching and then the powers going out in those areas. We are getting ready to report on the conditions here in tallahassee. So the storm surge is cing inie and down d weg at 60 mileu or hour. Re in downtown tallahassee so definitely something people want to be concerned abo i should mention the Hurricane Party over my sh. Hopefully they are safetonight well be live out here later as soon as the storm starts to heat ll live in tallahassee. Meantime heavy rain and flooding and as some evacuations there. Even in the last 20 minutes of the wind has taped off it has been raining a lot more and this parking lot has been flooding pastor out here. There are some flooded spots in the county here in Crystal River and on the coast emergency crews anticipate the water will rise asigh as 5 feet to 8 feet. They are worried the worst we including stronger wind will start around 4 am. Officials are asking people who live on the coast to spend the night with a friend or in a hotel. There is also a shelter at the school. I have a very high lot out here and my neighbors are low down there so they all come and parked their cars and trailers of here in my loft. [laughter] i am doing a good deed for my neighbors. E did want to show a restaurant out here, a business and make sure to put a note that they are closed because of the weather that is about to come this way. They have also keep the water out so flooding is a huge concern for many counties. E going to send it over to our reporter who is live with what it looks like out there. Right along the riverbank that is the funny thing downtow see where the river begins and ends. Because it seamlessly rg together with this is flooded out. And take a look at the picnic table. Right now the water has not only risen above the seawall but also it is coming up on the bench. Take a look at this video we shotutbo 1 1 2 hours ago. You can see the river still dealing with flooding in the yards along the driveways and ar hours after the high tide mid afternoon. Neighbors looking to step fr the riverbank and now looking at the overnight high tide. Have my yard is covered. I nimagine at 2 am is going to make any difference i rains pushing to from what was looking public park it is now completely under water. And the question is how that high tide will impact that along the river. Thank you. And stay with us for the la on the storms.

The streets are empty but the school board still shines bright. Students had most of the day off after the state shut down. But they found food at one of the restaurants still open. I wanted one for each of my roommates. I want backup batter flashlight. For the others it is old hat. I have friends who are not from florida and they are all freaking out. And i said jill. Its category one. This avenue eat and drink downto this is a lot like the store atth was in the 80s. They knocked the power out for almost a week. He is making sure his business is safe and secure. To make landfall in the next couple of hours probably around the bay. As we told you there was something in effect that was set to extend to 11 pm. It was extended till tomorrow morning. Originally the Storm Prediction Center did not have Pinellas County in that much but it has been added by the local office. So there is a tornado watch that remains in effect through tomorrow morning. Th through. Plenty of energy this Thunderstorm Development is popping. That lets us know there is more energy. And like our afternoon storms we are in for a rather rainy night with issues with wind and coastal flooding. Were going to talk about that in the next couple of minutes but lets focus in on bit of wind but i think the most Stormy Weather and the heaviest rain will be off to the east. This is a huge system your center is here but it is pushing some of the heavier squalls from gainesville back to the big bend area or soup each horse shoe beachso tallahassee being there they have already had wind gusting to Tropical Storm is going to move through their as a hurricane and it will be the first landfall hurricane in florida in 11 years. There is that tornado watch i talked about in Effect Tomorrow morning until it clock. It does not include our seven counties. Tropical storm force wind will continue. We get gusts up to 50 Miles Per Hour but ese sustained wind it wont take a lot for the trees to go because the ground is so soft. Especially with large dead trees they can fall on houses and cars it could happen agaiov night. One of the ma reasons the storm and rain is nowhere near over. Power outage will continue and that could be more. And theyre nt of power outage in Pinellas County for o morning at 85 8 am. We early looking at more rain through the hours. We have dried out for the last several hours as the band is poised to move on in and that has been helpful. It has given us an opportunity to have the rain sink in. Talk about this and have been talking about it for days. The storm has not moved off to our north. Its as if something is pushing water into the bay. That something is hurricane hermine. And as esway it will continue to do so. It will continue to push the water in. Just like it was today at 1 pm. And depending on the rise. Heavy rain wont really make a lot of difference. The heavy flooding is not coming from Mother Nature in terms of rainfall. But that is additional areas of flooding because we are soaked. Even though you had an opportunity for the water to soak in a bid. We are still saturated and when you see a number like this and this and rolls through all night. Continuing overnight which will add to flooding problems. At least by midmorning tomorrow is gone. And weekly move out as the storm goes from florida to georgia to the carolinas in 24 will be partly sunny. Labor day wewill be great. There will be scattered storms as they usually are but you can i think it will be okay beach t we drerts of erosion with constant waves coming in. And there will be some scattered storms coming in but at least the worst of this will be long gone by this time tomorrow. There it is as we said you can see eye as it is moving in. With 18 hour 80 80 miles tomorrow morning at 8 am it is already in southeastern georgia. And by tomorrow night it is in the carolinas moving out. There is stil which will extend down to it which is why we have rain in the forecast tomorrow but i see the improvements in time for the weekend. You do obviously not want to go out on a boat tomorrow. Feet to 15 feet tomorrow. High tides for the next two for the next 2 to 3 hours anywhere near bayshore current st. Pete car anywhere near the water if you flooded at 2 pm this again in the several hours. Very cautious of that. Ntinues throughout that nd rain period of rain. Weather. By saturd it was over the Labor Day Weekend looks much better with highs in 90 degrees. Buccee said a player made his Football Team last night but he wouldnt say who. Buthway after was talking y decisions will be made but they will be announced unl. John sable has been information. Once again jenkins wrong reasons. This time regarding an outburst in the preseason finale. He started yelling at one of the coaches after in concluded pass. With good remember players play and coaches coach. We definitely it was what it was. He came right over were talking and it was good. What was interesting was Fourth Quarter in the preseason finale. We wanted to see him pl and i dont really need to give you why registered he needed to pay more. He really needed to make this team. And this latest immature outburst may not help his long term future. And they are back in a so we are not going that rain. Maybe those two bands are will combine into one. So that is one big band of rain and it will pretty much rain all night. The total is probably another 4 inches of rain and coastal flooding. A high tide over the next several hours. And you can see all the tornado tornado watch it has been extended there is the center you can see that eye it was originally supposed to expire at 11 it was originally supposed to expire at 11 it has been extended to 11 am tomorrow morning. It will probably get better but not until later in the day. You can follow us at absactionnews. Com for any further coverage. Have a good night.
