Golf coast tower: Millions of brackets for severe floods as potential tropical systems approaches

Golf coast tower: Millions of brackets for severe floods as potential tropical systems approaches


A extensive area of storms that still have the chance to become a tropical system grows towards the golf coast and threatens to bring significant rain and fall floods into a large part of the southeast this week, from Florida Panhandle to Louisiana and parts of East Texas.

The worst-case scenario, in which storms are near the coast, would mean that parts of South Louisiana could preserve over one foot of the rain, with the precipitation rates up to 2 to 3 inches per hour. This would probably overwhelm the storm drains in flood attacks in New Orleans, where the soil is already saturated before the recent rain. The potential flood threat to the storm is only the youngest in a summer full of fatal and devastating floods.

A The risk of level 3 of 4 is on Thursday for South Central Louisiana with a risk of level 2 of 4 along the golf coast from Osttexas to the West Florida Panhandle-Anlich, Mississippi. Heavy storms could be durable, which repeatedly follow the same areas and soak the same places with several centimeters of rain. On Friday there is a level 2 out of 4 flood risks for the same areas, including other countries in Louisiana.

Although the storms moved over warm golf waters that deliver fuel for the development, it was torn apart by enemy winds at the upper level, leaving it and leaving it. It is unlikely that he claims Dexter the next name on the list of the Atlantic Hurricane season 2025.

“Regardless of the development, strong shower and thunderstorms are expected by Friday via the North Central Golf with irregular, gusty winds and rough seas,” warns the hurricane center.

Signs of difficulties have already started. The storm cluster traveled over the Florida peninsula on Monday to Tuesday and almost fell rain in the Tampa area. In a short time, this amount of rain even overwhelmed Florida's resilient, sandy soil and, according to the National Weather Service office in Brevard County, led to floods in Brevard County.

Daytona Beach was soaked on Tuesday with 2.25 inch rain and broke his earlier daily record of 2 inches on July 15, 1935.

In New Orleans, the officials opened several sandbag distribution locations on Wednesday before the heavy rain, as can be seen from the city.

It is clear that heavy rain and floods threaten a large part of the north-central golf coast. What is not yet clear is exactly where the worst will meet and how many more water managers can withstand in this area.
