    The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore is currently reporting live that he is trying to make his way out of the flooding in St. Marks and heading to Tallahassee tonight to cover the flooding in the region tomorrow. People be aware of flooding in your neighborhoods. T.S. Faye caused some serious flooding in my old hood a few years ago (Lakeshore Estates) and we couldn't even get out of either entrance to our neighborhood. Please be careful if you HAVE to go out — otherwise don't go out driving at all. Keep an eye out for your neighbors if possible. Likely that somebody will need some help if flooding does happen, or trees down, etc.

    WCTV: Heaviest rain by far has been in Wakulla County..water up to knee level in Woodville and Crawfordville..and there is no signs of the rain subsiding, so more flooding is likely. And if you are close enough to the coast in the next couple of hours..tidal surge of 2-4 feet is a possibility

    The rain water in Panacea is unbelievable but we are so lucky to have the bay to drain to. I don't know what other areas will do. Just about all the roads are flooded. Praying for my county plus everyone else on the path of this storm!
