Georgia and South Carolina may also see severe and widespread flash and urban flooding as well as river flooding. ©NHC Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has activated the State Emergency Operations Center due to the incoming storm. The Florida National Guard and Florida State Guard are both “activated to support humanitarian assistance and search and rescue missions.” In a tweet, DeSantis reminds everyone that strong winds, storm surges, and tornadoes can occur before landfall, and outside the forecasted “cone.” This means that while Orlando and Disney World may not be directly in the path of the hurricane, they will likely be affected by heavy rains and storms.
