Hello-- Does anyone have any thoughts about Jeanne's intensity once it reaches the Jacksonville area? Wondering if it's going to be worse than Frances here and what precautions we might need to take. I live about a block from the St. Johns river.



I found this under GA's information from 11PM, which addressed both GA and FL conditons. Hope it helps.

...STORM SURGE FLOOD AND STORM TIDE IMPACTS...
AT THIS TIME...SIGNIFICANT TIDAL FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH
SATURDAY. BY SATURDAY NIGHT...TIDES OF 2 TO 3 FEET ABOVE THE
HEIGHT OF NORMAL TIDES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH VALUES OF 3 TO 5 FEET
ABOVE NORMAL POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT DUE TO
PERSISTENT ONSHORE WINDS...TIDE LEVELS ON THE ST. JOHNS RIVER ARE
ALREADY ABOVE NORMAL. COMBINED WITH ALREADY HIGH ASTRONOMICAL
TIDES...IF THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK MATERIALIZES...SIGNIFICANT
FLOODING MAY OCCUR ALONG THE ST. JOHNS RIVER.
