THE 'DEEP STATE' -- OUR UNELECTED BUREAUCRACY -- HAS GONE ABSOLUTELY BONKERS. This weather alert, quoted exactly, showed up on my iPhone's weather app yesterday morning:
Severe Weather Advisory Severity: Moderate Possible threat to life or property Weather Event Onset 11:58 AM (EDT), August 4 Description HLSFFC

This product covers NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA

**DEBBY LIKELY TO STRENGTHEN RAPIDLY BEFORE LANDFALL IN THE FLORIDA BIG BEND REGION**

NEW INFORMATION
---------------

* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for Crisp, Dodge, Montgomery, Telfair, Toombs, Wheeler, and Wilcox

* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Crisp, Dodge, Montgomery, Telfair, Toombs, Wheeler, and Wilcox

* STORM INFORMATION: - About 380 miles south-southwest of Vidalia GA - 27.0N 84.3W - Storm Intensity 65 mph - Movement North-northwest or 330 degrees at 13 mph

SITUATION OVERVIEW
---------------

Tropical Storm Debby is expected to make landfall on Monday. Heavy rainfall will likely result in considerable flooding impacts from the Florida Big Bend region through southeast GA and the Coastal Plain of the Carolinas through Friday. Potentially historic heavy rainfall across southeast Georgia and South Carolina through Friday morning may result in areas of catastrophic flooding. Significant river flooding is also expected.

A Tropical Storm watch is in effect for SE Georgia for tropical storm force winds that are expected to begin on Monday with the strongest winds expected from Crisp to Toombs county.

The tornado threat remains low, but an isolated tornado is possible mainly south of a line from Uvalda to Milan.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
---------------

* WIND: Prepare for hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across South East Georgia.

Elsewhere across NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA, little to no impact is anticipated.

* FLOODING RAIN: Prepare for life-threatening rainfall flooding having possible extensive impacts across South East Georgia. Potential impacts include: - Major rainfall flooding may prompt evacuations and rescues. - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas, destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed. - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.

Prepare for dangerous rainfall flooding having possible limited to significant impacts across areas of eastern and central Georgia.

* TORNADOES: Prepare for a tornado event having possible limited impacts across South East Georgia. Potential impacts include: - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the execution of emergency plans during tropical events. - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with power and communications disruptions. - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off, shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.

Elsewhere across NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA, little to no impact is anticipated.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
---------------

* EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials.

* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:

When making safety and preparedness decisions, do not focus on the exact forecast track since hazards such as flooding rain, damaging wind gusts, and tornadoes extend well away from the center of the storm.

Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather Radio and local news outlets for official storm information. Listen for possible changes to the forecast.

NEXT UPDATE
---------------

The next local statement will be issued by the National Weather Service in Peachtree City GA around 6 PM EDT, or sooner if conditions warrant. Action Recommended Monitor the situation and take precautions if necessary. Urgency Take action within next hour. Affected Area Fannin Issued By National Weather Service View Alert Source: https://www.weather.gov/National Weather Service.
At the same time that same app's 10-day forecast showed local weather for both Sunday and Monday as clear and sunny with no rain forecasted.

This morning [just barely hurricane] Debby came ashore in Florida. My iPhone's weather app is now predicting sunny turning to partly cloudy for the rest of the day and tomorrow.

I hate to sound like a conspiracy addict but I'm now convinced that the Deep State is in such a panic about the possibility of their losing control of government that they're doing their damnedest to hide Kamala Harris from the public.

That may sound crazy, but as Neil Cavuto often says about his predictions on his Fox Business show "I've got a pretty good track record."
