* LOCATIONS AFFECTED
    - Santa Rosa Beach
    - Sandestin
    - Freeport
* WIND
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Equivalent Tropical Storm force wind
        - Peak Wind Forecast: 30-40 mph with gusts to 50 mph
    - CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Elevated
        - The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the 
          previous assessment.
        - Emergency planning should include a reasonable threat for 
          tropical storm force wind of 39 to 57 mph.
        - To be safe, prepare for the potential of limited wind 
          impacts. Efforts should now be underway to secure all 
          properties.
        - Hazardous wind is possible. Failure to adequately shelter 
          may result in serious injury.
    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Minor damage to frame built homes, limited primarily due to 
          loss of roof shingles or gutters as well as damage to 
          porches, awnings, carports and sheds. Some mobile homes 
          damaged. Unsecured lightweight objects blown around.
        - A few trees uprooted, with many large limbs snapped.
        - Isolated road closures due to fallen debris, especially in 
          wooded areas.
        - Isolated power and communication outages.
* STORM SURGE
    - No storm surge inundation forecast
    - CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: None
        - The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the 
          previous assessment.
        - Emergency planning for this event need not include a threat 
          for storm surge flooding. The ground will remain largely 
          unflooded from surge water or only have spots minimally 
          affected by surge water encroachment. Surf conditions may 
          still be rough with some beach erosion. Stronger than 
          normal rip currents may also be present.
        - Little to no preparations needed to guard against storm 
          surge flooding at this time.
        - Ensure readiness for the next storm surge event.
    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Little to None
        - Little to no potential impacts from storm surge flooding.
