SC governor lifts mandatory evacuation order for Beaufort, Jasper and Colleton counties

TYBEE ISLAND, GA (WTOC) -
Even though Georgia is no longer in the cone of uncertainty of Hurricane Florence, it doesn't mean Georgia's coast will not see an impact.

The sun may be shining right now on Tybee Island and people may be enjoying the beach and waves, but at the same time, emergency crews are making sure they have all plans in place just in case any bad weather does come this way.

Chatham Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) has been meeting throughout the day Monday to make sure they have plans in place for Hurricane Florence. Right now, they are operating in condition 4 which means they are actively monitoring the storm and keeping the emergency operations center activated throughout the day. CEMA says they've been coordinating with partners to make sure everything is in order.

One area of concern is the coast, which would include Tybee Island.

"They have a really high risk of rip currents that are going to be affecting them over the next several days," said Dennis Jones, Director of Chatham Emergency Management Agency. "Beach erosion. That's a significant issue for the city of Tybee Island, and we are also entering into a period to where we have above average tides - not associated with the storm. That's just the normal tide sequence."

Tybee Mayor Jason Buelterman says he's encouraging people who live on the island to pay close attention to the hurricane updates and be prepared ahead of time.

I hope he also stated that it is highly recommended to leave. I'm guessing these are the 3 counties that are outside the cone. I think he should of just changed the time of the mandatory evacuations to noon tomorrow for those counties, so they would still be prepared, then changed it tomorrow morning if it looks like Florence will be coming in at the NC/SC border or further North.

SURF: Swells generated by Florence are affecting Bermuda and
portions of the U.S. East Coast. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office.



STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the
tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by
rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water has the
potential to reach the following heights above ground if peak surge
occurs at the time of high tide...

Cape Fear to Cape Lookout, including the Neuse and Pamlico
Rivers...9-13 ft
North Myrtle Beach to Cape Fear...6-9 ft
Cape Lookout to Ocracoke Inlet...6-9 ft
South Santee River to North Myrtle Beach...4-6 ft
Ocracoke Inlet to North Carolina/Virginia Border...4-6 ft
Edisto Beach to South Santee River...2-4 ft

The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast in areas of
onshore winds, where the surge will be accompanied by large and
destructive waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative
timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over
short distances. For information specific to your area, please see
products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast
office.
