JEA crews started setting up staging areas Tuesday morning so resources can be ready to restore power and water after the storm hits.
City of Jacksonville Public works crews were also out Monday clearing storm drains in Arlington. They also checked on areas that could see flooding because of heavy rain.
“Currently, the biggest threat to our area is excessive rainfall, moderate winds and tornadoes likely beginning late Wednesday with the biggest impact happening Thursday. As we know, with a storm this far out, these scenarios can change for the better or for the worse. But now is the time to prepare. There’s no reason to panic, it’s just time to get prepared,” Curry said.Copyright 2022 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
