CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
STORM INFORMATION:
Tropical Storm Eta is moving near the Dry Tortugas this morning and
is forecast to move across the eastern Gulf of Mexico through the
week. Significant flooding is impacting much of Southeast Florida
this morning. Bands of heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts are
still affecting Miami-Dade County and that activity is moving into
Southwest Florida. Residents and visitors are urged to remain in
shelter until conditions subside later today.
The primary concerns are urban and flash flooding due to torrential
rainfall, strong wind gusts, and dangerous marine conditions through
the day. Some gradual improvement is anticipated from east to west
as the storm continues to pull southwestward away from Florida
today. Tornadoes and waterspouts are also a secondary concern. Some
minor coastal flooding of vulnerable low-lying docks, parking lots,
and roads due to Eta is possible with the greatest risk over the
Southwest Florida coast.
Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across
Southwest Florida. Remain well guarded against dangerous flood waters
having further impacts of limited to significant potential.
Elsewhere across South Florida, little to no impact is anticipated.
Elsewhere across South Florida, little to no impact is anticipated.
EVACUATIONS:
Do not enter evacuated areas until officials have given the all clear
to return.
OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Remain safely sheltered until conditions improve. When going outside
be sure to stay away from downed power lines, hazardous debris and
flooded areas.
Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers
interfere with the emergency work of first responders.
Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe.
Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can blow
you off the roof.
If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following
instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in a
well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from open
doors and windows.
Problems with sewer backups can further contaminate standing flood
waters. Keep children away from flood waters. Also, listen for boil
water alerts as tap water may have become non-potable.
Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened
trees and/or power lines, collapse damaged structures, or cause
flying debris.
Be alert for flooded roads which could be compromised or littered
with debris. Avoid travel until water levels subside and roads have
been cleared. Do not drive through places where flood waters cover
the road. Turn around, don't drown!
As it pertains to this event...this will be the last local statement
issued by the National Weather Service in Miami FL regarding the
effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.
