At this time, there have been “no” reports of injuries, or structural damage due to the frontal system in advance of a cold front moving in from the west.  Beginning around 6:15 this morning, Walton County’s Emergency Operation’s Center has received calls on several minor issues.

A tree across the road on Walton County Road 181, about two miles East of Highway 83 north of DeFuniak Springs.  In addition, a downed tree caused several traffic delays on Forest Shore Drive in the San Destin area in South Walton County.

Early this morning, there were reportedly two places under water near the intersection of State Highway 2 and U.S. 331, a few miles south of Paxton.  The Walton County EOC reports that all the aforementioned issues have been handled, and county work crews continue to monitor the roads and bridges looking for any obstructions, or damage.
