A mandatory evacuation will be issued at 3:00 pm CST today for residents of Walton County in low lying areas south of Hwy 20. Current forecasts indicate that Walton County will experience tropical storm force winds by 5:00 pm Monday August 27, 2012. The Clyde B. Wells Bridge will close when the wind reaches a sustained 40 mph. Again, this is expected to be at 5:00 pm Monday evening.

Update: The Sherrif's facebook page now says 5:00 pm for the mandatory evacuation.

1) FoWal....:clap:

2) This thread reminds me SO MUCH of the threads I read when I first got on SoWal way back in '05. I was looking for info on Hurricane Dennis, and a google and a sticker I had picked up led me to SoWal .com. I couldn't believe everyone was so knowledgeable, helpful and willing to help out in the aftermath. Thankfully, still today, some things haven't changed.

A Local State of Emergency is being issued as we speak and Mandatory Evacuation Orders for low-lying areas, mobile home, RV parks, and non-residents will be issued effective at 6:00AM Monday morning.


Walton County Schools will be closed Monday and Tuesday to facilitate the opening of evacuation shelters.

So to summarize/clarify per the latest EOC message below.

No shortage of gas, propane or any other items.
Maybe they have restocked since last night, but Wal Mart SRB was completely out or nearly out of water, D batteries, Ramen noodles, vienna sausages and SPAM! Dollar General seemed to have everything but D batteries.
