Please see the message below from Rankin County Emergency Management Services.

Isaias update: Rankin County is under a Level 2 (Elevated) wind threat from tonight through Saturday.

The National Weather Service in Jackson expects sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts of 40 to 50 mph across Brandon, Flowood, Pearl, Richland, Florence, and the rest of Rankin County. Downed trees and power lines are likely, and travel will be hazardous for high-profile vehicles like box trucks, trailers, and RVs. The strongest winds (Level 3) are expected farther east, near Philadelphia and Meridian.

The flash flood threat is low for Rankin County, with the higher risk over east Mississippi. If you come to a flooded road, Turn Around, Don't Drown.

What to do now:
Secure or bring in loose outdoor items like trash cans, patio furniture, and decorations.
Charge phones and keep flashlights handy in case the power goes out.
Stay away from downed power lines and report them to your power company.
Have more than one way to get weather warnings.

We will share updates if conditions change for Rankin County.
