Tropical Storm Julia a Flood Threat in Coastal Georgia and S. Carolina [1]

"Tropical Storm Julia formed late Tuesday night and is now spinning inland across southeast Georgia.

Julia is the first tropical cyclone on record to be named while over land in Florida, according to Dr. Phil Klotzbach.

The main concern from Julia will be heavy rain along the immediate Southeast coast through Thursday, which could result in flooding.

The tropical storm warning that was is in effect from Fernandina Beach, Florida, northward to Altamaha Sound, Georgia has been discontinued."
