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.
