Tropical Storm Warnings from 10/05 07:00 EDT/11:00 UTC through 10/06 05:00 EDT/09:00 UTC; however, post event flooding continued until late evening over southeast Georgia. Tropical Storm Tammy developed off of Cape Canaveral Florida and moved north-northeast toward northeast Florida. The strongest wind band and rains were located well north of the center and dropped a large amount of rainfall across southeast Georgia. This rainfall combined with heavy rainfall and high tides over the previous days, due to strong northeast gradient flow, caused extensive flooding across the area. Peak winds in coastal Georgia were 40 knots at McKinnon Airport (KSSI) on Saint Simons Island at 20:53 EDT and 38 knots at GlynnCo Airport (KBQK) at 21:00 EDT. Storm Tides averaged 2 to 3.25 feet above astronomical tide levels during both low and high tide. This tended to block storm water runoff drainage in portions of southeast Georgia.Rainfall totals for the 5th and 6th were...McKinnon (KSSI): 10/5 4.68 inches & 10/6 0.63 inchesBrunswick COOP Site (BRUG1): 10/5 0.5 inches & 10/6 missingWoodbine COOP Site (WBNG1): 10/5 4.52 inches & 10/6 1.56 inchesNahunta COOP Site (NAHG1): 10/5 3.05 inches & 10/6 4.71 inchesA trained spotter on Saint Simons Island .66 miles north of McKinnon Airport (KSSI) reported 6.4 inches of rain on 10/5 and 0.74 on 10/6. This spotter also recorded 13.06 inches of rain from 10/1 through 10/6 (in an 8 inch rain gage). This is consistent with WSR 88D radar storm total estimates which indicate a 12 to 15 inch accumulation band from Kingsland/St. Marys, Ga north to near Darien, Ga. and extending inland 18 to 20 miles. The spotter also reported tides close to those of Hurricane Frances and this is consistent with tide gage observations taken at Fernandina Beach, Florida (the Saint Simons Island tide gage was out of service during the event). Aerial and poor drainage flooding (mainly due to high tide levels) occurred on Green Swamp Rd, north of the railroad tracks; the Cypress Run subdivision; the College Park subdivision; the Magnolia Park subdivision; and the city of Brunswick from Wolfe Rd. east to Johnston St. and from K St. north to Q St. please refer to the flooding event on 10/7/05 for a total number of flooded structures.Seas of 4 to 6 feet were reported at Saint Simons Island.A brief tornado touched down near Spur 25 and Interstate 98 Wednesday evening and moved north-northeast toward New Hope Plantation. A hotel suffered roof damage and a mobile home on Gatch Ln. was also damaged. Trees and power lines were snapped along its path.
