The Bay County Sheriff’s Office urges everyone that can possibly avoid the roads this morning to stay home. Some have taken to the roads to see the damage and it is making it very difficult for first responders who are rushing to help people who may be trapped in damaged homes and injured. Please stay home this morning.
Damaged areas include:
Curve on Thomas Drive area. An
apartment complex (right across from Pirates Cove Marina) in that area
sustained extensive damage. Treasure Circle area has been closed due to debris
and water.
Venture Out, near Thomas Drive, has also sustained damage. Power lines hanging low on Hwy 2301. Do not attempt to touch or drive over downed power lines. South of Hwy 231 area affected. Indian Bluff and Sunshine has trees down on the road. Intersections affected with damaged traffic lights. Please treat affected intersections as 4-way stops. Stay tuned to local weather
forecasts for the latest information and stay off the roads this morning.
