from central Gulf coast of Florida...speaking for myself and most that I've talked to...we underestimated TS Debbie... we are accustomed to looking at coastal storm surge, and wind velocity as major indices of trouble, and overlooked the problems associated with fresh water flooding (we had about 12" locally in 12 hours, and up to 16" at some reporting stations)and the number of possible tornadoes due to wind shear... we don't typically have EF5 super cell tornadoes, but at least one fatality was reported in Highlands County, north of Lake Okeechobee, and quite a bit of localized damage... most had a Doppler spin indicated of 100 or so mph ... the fresh water flooding is the worst I've seen since hurricane Donna in 1962...especially along the Anclote River that flows towards Tarpon Springs...we had a lot of salt water surge from the "no name storm" of 1992, and rain from hurricane Elena..the area that drains into the Anclote overwhelmed its ability to move that much water.. it is relatively narrow width and quickly overflowed in the headwaters regions that are local to me...we have a very good EOC and this will add a couple of pages to the operations plan
