Tropical Storm Colin will continue to impact portions of the southeastern United States with flooding rain and rough seas on Tuesday.
Colin made landfall near Deckle Beach in Taylor County, Florida, on Monday night. The storm then raced across northern Florida early Tuesday morning.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency on Monday in preparation for the storm. Scott also activated the state's national guard, with more than 6,000 guardsmen ready for deployment.
Portions of the Florida Panhandle received up to 10 inches of rain in under 12 hours on Monday.
As Colin rolled ashore, the U.S. Coast Guard rescued two people from a sinking houseboat in Bradenton Beach, Florida, according to a local news outlet.
While Colin exited Florida early Tuesday, additional downpours are expected across central portions of the Sunshine State during the day.
Rough surf will continue along the Atlantic Coast from Florida to the Carolinas, Virginia and Delmarva.

Flash flooding will remain a concern in part of the Florida Peninsula, especially in the areas hit the hardest from Tropical Storm Bonnie during the last few days of May.
Numerous roadways were flooded from heavy rain across parts of Georgia and South Carolina on Monday night, according to local officials.
Colin be rapidly swept away from the rest of the United States by a cold front that will usher fresh cool air into the Northeast.
Following some additional strengthening over the Atlantic, the system will lose its tropical characteristics by midweek. However, it could still bring rough seas, gusty winds and drenching thunderstorms to Bermuda.
In the East Pacific, the first tropical depression of the season has formed, and is expected to make landfall along the southern coast of Mexico late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.

I'm about 50 miles south...a good bit of rain but nothing major here.

Didn't even have enough rain to make it worth sitting on the porch with a bag of chips.

Jacksonville,
FL - Monday and Monday evening. Traveled trhrugh bands and bands of
heavy rain. One band so intense had to slow down, on Interstae 95, to
about 40 MPH and turn on flashers so my car would be visible to other
motorists.
George Markos ·
Turning on your flashers means you are stopped on the side of the road... just turn your lights on, we'll see you.
Clague Bruening ·
George Markos And using flashers while driving is a moving violation in Florida.

I'm just north of Cedar Key near Fanning Springs. Right in the corridor. So far, lots of rain, virtually no wind.

Hi,
up here in Merritt Island, 5 miles south of the Kennedy Space Center
entrance. Rained earlier, now it's drizzling. That's all. Really. Not
much lightning. Not much of anything . . . other than hype.

Here
in Jefferson County we are at 10.55" of rain and still raining. It
started at about 04:00 this A.M., winds currently varible at 8 M.P.H.
out of the N.E. 18:30 hrs.
Vince Ramos
Which "category" is this tropical storm?
William Ruting ·
The NWS doesn't apply "category" to tropical storms, only hurricanes.
George Markos ·
A tropical cyclone is called a tropical storm when the winds are between 39 - 73 mph.

This is so lame...

Lot
of hullabaloo over a "tropical" storm ..that likely won't do anymore
than an average good ole Florida summer THUNDERSTORM.....Bring it on..we
need the rain..starting to look like desert in my neck of the woods in
FL.

Benny Ferguson ·
No, but if a tornada happens to hit you from it, it could be worse than a cat. 2
Ann Deatherage ·
Benny Ferguson Yes..and we get them with severe thunderstorms here in Fl once in awhile..it happens..not fun but it happens..
Ann Deatherage ·
we've
had rain.but not even any thunder today at all, rain comes and goes
with the bands..Best way to get our much needed rain with our aquifers
being so low..better than an actual hurricane!

Damns
don't burst here and there's not Texas size flooding but there are
neighborhoods by intracoastal waterways that are always under water and
passing cars create a wake. I recommend plastic patio furniture and
keep the good stuff on a second floor if one has a second floor. And,
storm surges can reach the top floors of huge beach homes. Storm surges
and tornadoes are basically the worst here in Tampa Bay. Flooding can
happen from rain but again, it's called elevation. LIve on high ground
and you have less grief.

I
forgot. I don't live in an evac zone either but if it rains a lot,
we've had cars followed by police cruisers drive right into our
retention pond. It's dangerous to drive in moderate to heavy rains
when there are a lack of guard rails for ponds and canals. Impossible
to cover every eventuality. Lots of bad storms here and disasters but
not right here but too close for comfort.
Ralph Meyer ·
I
went to Home Depot to get supplies for the storm but they were out of
shovels and rock salt. People are taking this storm seriously!

Probably not but do you have pythons and alligators swimmin' around too?
Ralph Meyer ·

DiLeon Di Morrow ·
Here
in Hawaii a tropical storm can become a full force hurricane within a
few hundred miles out,....Iniki was a good example. Fact is no one
including the weather man knows where and what this will be come and it
never makes sense to not prepare, the worst diasters come from everyone
saying.....nothing but a rain storm.
Jenn Miller
Pamela
Patrick Possibly but this is our second storm in weeks. Much land here
is swamp land. So what she means is stay out of the swamp lands and low
sea level areas.
Jamie Mayfield ·
Checked
to see if work was going to be canceled. No luck, said UF is ruining as
normal. So I get to drive home in a storm in horrible traffic. Tomorrow
will be great.

......That's what they said about this storm...Oct 27, 2012 - There's

of the worst storms in its history. ..Warning someone about a potential
storm is not "fear mongering"
Jamie Mayfield ·
Political Hostage
Went through six hurricans now but also drove through a ton of tropical
storms. Traffic on my way home is horrible and Gainesville drivers are
horrible. Not worried about the strom, worried about all the traffic.
Case and point, my car was in perfect condition for five years, then I
moved to Gainesville, four hit and runs and three accedents, none my
fault. My car looks like shit, bad weather just makes me cringe now.
People can barely drive when it is nothing but blue skys.

Can't find the video, but I don't doubt you! Most of our local

etc. correctly.

When
I first heard of this depression/storm, my first thought was "great, my
birding trip to Ft. DeSoto [this Thursday] might be off!"
I think I need to reassess my priorities.

either or it's the bad side of any hurricane. Been through 9, will this
be number 10? Evacuated once, never again unless it's a 4 or higher.

Yes, I totally agree Ron, my little garden is really sad, i just hope we won't see tornado weather.

Need the rain, but...
Ron Grutz ·
We in New Smyrna Beach have been in a drought for 2 months. Any rain would be a blessing.

Hi Ron
I have a house beach side in NSB but up north right now. Saw the rain falling from my cameras but it looks like it is done now. Hope all is well.

I'm sorry, but can this site make a tropical storm any more extremely ominous, theatening and out and out dangerous.
It's a possible tropical storm; it's not the end of the world.

Tracy Sloan
People
have died in Tropical Storms. Ask the victims of Katrina or Andrew if
their world didn't end when those hurricanes hit that were downplayed.
Ann Gillam ·
Tracy Sloan - Katrina was hardly a "tropical storm"...ask how I know (Gulfport, MS).
Katie O'Malley ·
Tracy Sloan Those were both hurricanes.
Katie O'Malley ·
Several
years ago my family and I got literally swamped by TS Allison, though,
admittedly because of Houston's sh***y drainage systens and a creek
right behind our house.
Will Rossman ·
Katie
O'Malley And Katrina wouldn't have been so tragically remembered if
they'd had a properly maintained and modernized levee system. Lives were
lost regardless. I do agree that a TS can be little worse than a severe
thunderstorm complex any part of the eastern US can get during summer
though.
John Friedhof
Tracy Sloan you may want to check the classification of storms...
Peggy Larson ·
Katie
O'Malley TS Allison also gave us 16 days of rain. The only name retired
for a TS that never developed into a Hurricane. - Everyone else:
Remember "SuperStorm Sandy"? Another "not a hurricane", did some serious
damage. Or, Hurricane Ike in 2008, filled the entire Gulf at one point,
but because it was classified as a Cat 2, most coastal residental said
it was no big deal. Wrong.
Shallyn Shiv Willey ·
Tracy
Sloan ...I was a survivor of Andrew. Hardly a tropical storm.
Furthermore tropical storms (generally) arent in themselves dangerous.
The secondary problems associated with it are. (Possible flooding and
tornado development) as long as you live in a sturdy home with good
drainage ppl should be just fine. Its really no diffrent then a bad
thunderstorm.
Unless there is further development it iSNT a big deal....northern florida has pretty adequate drainage and isnt prone to flooding.
so ppl running about screaming and screaming about doom and catastrophe need to have a seat. Unless of course temporary power outages branches off a tree or puddles are now considered news worthy items.
t.s. Allison...and sandy are exceptions and not rules...rare example of storms not the norm and effected places that normally dont see wether events like that.
relax and enjoy the rain...its part of living in florida. Jesus ppl

pay
close attention to eveything that the weather man says carefully, some
station hype things up and get you scared...watch channel 9
(brightHouse) they are very good in giving you information...right now
its just a lot of rain and wind coming towards us....trust me I get
anxiety when hurrican season comes... I have lived in Florida all my
life ( 67 years) but we can not control nature...we just have to deal
with it and prepare for the worst and hope for the best....
Katie O'Malley ·
Maybe
the stations and web sites "hype it up" so they get more viewers. OMG
CHANNEL 'X' says WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, let's keep it on so we know
when to panic!" :P
Peggy Larson ·
Katie
O'Malley That's what Dr. Neil Frank did during Hurricane Rita, while
all the other channels said it was going towards Beaumont. Since it was a
week after Katrina, & he had been the Director of National
Hurricane Center, a lot of people trusted his opinion. Hence, people
dieing in the traffic jams trying to get further North. Haven't paid
attention to that crap since.
Don Steele ·
Whomever
the "attempted" jounalist is at this weak "fear" mongering.....is an
idiot. The "storm" isn't named yet...won't be named...will dissipate
into a remnant low after Cancun....Florida, at BEST, will get it's
normal afternoon thunderstorms.
WeatherMatrix
The
NHC just initiated advisories on Tropical Depression Three at 11 am.
This includes a Tropical Storm Warning for part of the Florida west
coast.
Michael Voight ·
So, Don, you know more than the experts who issued a Tropical Storm Warning for Florida?
Tracy Sloan
It's
people like you that downplay this that aren't prepared for when
something like Charlie, Katrina, or Andrew hit. Every storm, even a
thunderstorm, has the potential to be the last storm that you ever see.
Not fear-mongering, just truth.
Southeast Georgia Weather
Dude,
you'e way off. This is almost word-for-word with what the NWS is
saying. But clearly, Don is much more of a meterologist than the dozens
working on it. And clearly more intelligent than the supercomputers
modeling this storm.
Michael Voight ·
I guess you were wrong Don.. It is a named Tropical Storm now.
