3 Three day storm-total rains have reached historic totals of 20 to 28 inches across much of Okeechobee St. Lucie and Martin Counties with isolated totals as high as 30 inches over interior St. Lucie County and extreme southern Okeechobee County. If you are in a safe location remain in place and do not attempt to travel as numerous dangers exist. If you must evacuate due to unsafe conditions contact emergency officials if possible and use extreme caution. Do not travel at night! TRAINING SCENARIO FOR DISASTER RESISTANT COMMUNITIES GROUP Catastrophic flooding continues across a large part of the region with reports of several feet of standing water across a widespread area. Several hundred homes and businesses have been inundated with flood waters and most roadways remain closed. The low pressure system which has been producing the severe flooding has intensified over the past 24 hours and begun to move slowly northwest toward the Florida panhandle. Forecast data indicates that the low will continue to move northwest away from south Florida allowing rainfall to taper off through this afternoon and end totally by this evening. An additional 2 to 4 inches of rain is possible through sunset. An Extreme Threat for significant flooding continues due to high levels of standing water which will only slowly begin to recede today or tonight. A very serious threat to life and property continues and travel is not advised.
4 TRAINING SCENARIO FOR DISASTER RESISTANT COMMUNITIES GROUP An Extreme Risk for flooding continues for much of Okeechobee St. Lucie and Martin Counties. Catastrophic flooding is currently being experienced. Additional rainfall of 2 to 4 inches will cause water levels to rise a little higher or at least remain steady today then slowly begin to recede tonight. Travel is not advised. A few periods of moderate to briefly heavy rain will continue this morning, with coverage and intensity lessening this afternoon and rainfall ending all together by sunset.
5 Wide swath of 72-hour rainfall (storm total) now likely to reach inches! TRAINING SCENARIO FOR DISASTER RESISTANT COMMUNITIES GROUP
