βΌοΈβοΈ #Pinellas: More heavy thunderstorms are developing and moving into the county, which may cause flooding where heavy rain falls for a prolonged period. Use caution and never enter flood waters (by car or foot). @NHC_Atlantic gives the area a 30% chance of becoming a TD. #FLwx
With wet weather in the forecast this weekend, it's a good time to brush up on the basics: do you know your flood zone from your evacuation zone?
This video breaks down floodplains, FEMA flood zones, and evacuation zones.
