TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) - Tallahassee officials say the largest threat to the Capital City is heavy rainfall, which could cause flash flooding or high water in certain areas. That's why the city is handing out sandbags to residents Monday.
They're being offered at the Messer Field South Softball Complex parking lot.
It's on Jackson bluff between Appleyard Drive and Dupree Street.
The city says the site will be open until the storm threat has passed. There is a 25 bag limit per household. Residents will also need to bring their own shovels and be prepared to fill the bags themselves.
The Wakulla County Sheriff's Office has also opened a location where residents can pick up sandbags. Residents will be able to pick up a maximum of 25 sandbags at the sheriff's office. The site will be open until the storm threat has passed.
