Echols and Clinch County residents are advised to seek immediate shelter indoors due to a strong thunderstorm capable of producing a landspout. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Jacksonville, FL, issued a Special Weather Statement at 9:37 PM EDT, effective until 10:00 PM EDT.

Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible, and gusty winds could down tree limbs and blow around unsecured items. This storm is expected to remain over mainly rural areas of central Echols and west-central Clinch Counties.
