Here is today’s morning report on Hurricane Irma…
From Ted Wynn, Bulloch County Public Safety/EMA/HS –
Irma 5am Friday
Track Shifts a Little More Westerly
We are still in the cone of uncertainty with Irma, so don’t let your guard down. If you contrast the 5pm Thursday with the new 5am Friday track you will see the shift. Irma is still a cat 4 storm and is expected to impact the entire state of Florida as it makes it’s way into Georgia. Florida may weaken the storm but due to its size as it comes into Georgia we could see strong winds, perhaps nearing a cat 1 storm, but de…finitely tropical storm force. The westerly shift puts us on the eastern side of Irma which makes heavy rains and tornados a possibility.
Continue to be vigilant with preparations for Irma. Stay tuned to your weather sources.
