First named storm of season, TS Andrea, forms in Gulf of Mexico ~DisasterMap.net
Tropical Cyclone Storm Surge Probabilities:
Chance of Storm Surge >= 2 feet (NGVD-1929) at individual locations
Tropical Storm Andrea (2013) Advisory 3
For the 77 hours from 05 AM EDT Thu Jun 06 to 10 AM EDT Sun Jun 09
A storm surge of 2 - 4 feet is predicted for Tampa Bay northward to Apalachicola, and rip currents will be a risk for swimmers who brave the high surf. Fort Pickens, located in Gulf Islands National Seashore on a barrier island offshore from Pensacola, Florida, has been closed to visitors due to the approaching storm. A single 2-lane road vulnerable to storm surges runs to Fort Pickens. Officials want to prevent a repeat of the situation that occurred in September 2011, when Tropical Storm Lee pushed a storm surge over the road that blocked it with sand and debris, trapping numerous campers and visitors in Fort Pickens.

Levee, trees sink after week of tremors at sinkhole ~The Advocate, River Parishes Bureau~BAYOU CORNE — A 400- to 500-foot
section of the containment levee around the Assumption Parish sinkhole
has gone under water after almost a week-long active period of tremors,
parish officials said Tuesday.
Parish officials said in a blog post that the levee sunk as part of a broader subsidence along the southern side the sinkhole. Trees along the southwest side of the sinkhole are also showing signs of sinking, in some cases as much at 10 feet down, parish officials said.
