Special Weather Statement

August 3, 2009

A line of strong thunderstorms will affect North Escambia this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

Radar shows that a line of storms will affect areas in and around Barrineau Park by about 3:45 this afternoon.

The primary threats from these storms are small hail…frequent
lightning…and wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph. Winds this strong could
bring down dead or diseased trees and large limbs resulting in
serious injury or property damage. Local loss of electrical power may
result from downed power lines. Exercise extreme caution when
outdoors during such strong winds…or seek shelter in a safe home or
building until these storms have passed.
