Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just a quick note to let you know what we're seeing and expecting from the Emergency Operations Center.
We’ve been monitor this latest tropical system for days and the impacts we saw this morning were expected. The region received approximately 4-5 inches of rain yesterday (9-12" since Monday). The good news is the worst of the rainfall is over. We may experience some minor flooding during this afternoon’s high tide scheduled for 1:58pm. As a reminder, water starts to rise about an hour before and may take an hour to recede. With the wind pushing the water upstream, the floodwaters may not recede as quickly. Good news is the flooding will not be as severe as we saw during the last tropical storm and roads should be clear by afternoon rush hour.
Public Works crews have been working to clear storm drains and ditches so the water flows with ease. Trash collection will take place as scheduled. If a truck cannot get down the road in the morning, crews will go back in the afternoon to pick-up.
Chance of rain tomorrow (Thursday) morning is around 30% with minimal accumulation. Similar tidal flooding expected tomorrow afternoon, but not to the degree we expect today.
We continue to monitor the weather and if anything changes, we will let you know.
Thank you!
Jim
