What happened
The episode as NWS JAX wrote it up.
Tropical Storm "Alberto" Tropical Storm Alberto made landfall along the northeast Gulf of Mexico coast and as a weakening system move north-northeast across north Florida and southeast Georgia. This motion positioned the area on the north and east side of the storm. Southeast Georgia experienced periods of sustained tropical storm force winds and gusts. Heavy rainfall occurred across the Suwannee River Valley. The lowest southeast Georgia mean sea level pressure was 1002.6 mb measured in Alma as the center moved very near the city during the early morning hours of June 14th around 00:53Z. The lowest mean sea level readings across southeast Georgia ranged from 1002.6 mb in Alma to 1007.2 mb at St. Simons Island, Ga. Maximum sustained winds recorded were 38 knots/44 mph in Brunswick, Ga on June 13th around 23:22Z. Stations generally reported sustained winds of 25-38 knots (29-44 mph). Scattered trees and power lines were blown down across southeast Georgia. Most wind damage occurred during the afternoon and early evening of June 13th. Wave heights reached 6-9 ft across the coastal waters. The maximum height observed was at the St. Augustine buoy 41012 on June 13th around 1920Z. Storm tides at St. Simons Island ran 0.98 ft above normal astronomical tide predictions on June 13th around 12Z. Rainfall totals across southeast Georgia ranged from 1 to 6 inches. The heaviest rainfall 5.48 inches was recorded in Echols County. Some minor temporary flooding of flood prone occurred, but the rainfall was beneficial to the area helping it recover from a minor drought period. River flooding was not a concern. Two confirmed tornado touchdowns occurred, one near the Kings Bay Submarine Base near St. Marys, Ga, in Camden County on June 13th around 10:15Z. Minor tree damage occurred on the base. No fatalities nor injuries were reported in association with T.S. Alberto. Minor problems from wind gusts with scattered power outages occurred, as well as minor temporary flooding.
