Crossing into Georgia as Tropical Storm 44-65 MPH while Thunder Storm conditions encompass a four state area and most of Florida 415 miles wide. 28 arrests for looting.
4.2 million without power. 77 million spent so far including 7,000 National Guard and over 400 shelters. Clearing roads and restoring power (11,000 utility workers) will slow the initial cleanup and rescue effort. Pre-staged necessities are in place to distribute (including motor fuel) as soon as it's safe to do so with 1 million gallons of water, 11 million meals in 67 trailers and 700 cases of baby supplies. Wide spread storm conditions may be in effect for days.
Storm surge at Virgina Key, in Biscayne Bay, was close to 4 feet above normal tides Sunday afternoon. At Naples, in the Gulf of Mexico, storm surge topped 4 feet above normal tides early Sunday evening.
Over 10 inches of flooding shut down a stretch of U.S. 1 in Ft. Pierce, Florida, Sunday, with water reportedly into at least one home and parked cars flooded.
Flash flood emergency declared for downtown Jacksonville as St Johns river exceeded previous records during a 5 foot storm surge where twenty seven inches of rain fell in 24 hours with another two ft expected. As of 4:40 PM Mon, 32 knot gusts remain.

Flooding has begun in Georgia.
Storm surge and flooding expected well past mid South Carolina.
Atlanta where a lot of evacuees escaped will also be affected.
Storm surges if occurring at high tide will produce:
Tampa Bay- 4-6 feet
Ochlockonee River on the panhandle- 4 to 6 feetSouth Santee Beach in South Carolina- 4-6 ft
St. Johns River- 3 to 5 feet

Some areas could get up to 20 inches of additional rain fall.
Northern Florida Peninsula: 3 to 6 additional inches, with storm totals of 8 to 15 inches.
Central Florida Panhandle: 2 to 4 additional inches.

Power outages from tropical storm-force winds are expected to spread as far north as the Tennessee Valley Monday and Monday night.

Over all, the time the storm spent raking Cuba prevented it from arriving as a cat 5 storm.
