The Salvation Army sent five canteen vehicles to Tallahassee and five to Gainesville late Monday night to provide disaster relief if needed. Storm surges of 6 to 9 feet remained a threat to coastal areas in Josephine's path late Monday night. Heavy weekend rain covered parts of the state, from 2 inches in Miami to 5 inches in Jacksonville, and the storm is expected to bring even more rain and flooding. The storm also is expected to bring continued rain and minor street flooding to the Gainesville area. We shouldn't have any problems unless it is a long and heavy rain.
Problems occur when debris like trees block storm drains.
