The worst damage on Sunday occurred in and around Hattiesburg, Mississippi where a long-track tornado ripped across parts of four counties.

The severe thunderstorm threat may continue through Monday and Tuesday in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and parts of Florida. In addition, heavy rainfall through at least Wednesday may lead to flash flooding in parts of the Gulf South.

Emergency Fuel Available For Winter Storm Nemo and Orko

February 10, 2013 By admin

Nemo, the winter storm packing hurricane-force wind gusts and blizzard conditions swept through the Northeast overnight, where more than 650,000 homes and businesses in the densely populated region lost power and New Englanders awoke Saturday to more than 2 feet of snow.

More than 38 inches of snow fell in Milford in central Connecticut, and an 82-mph wind gust was recorded in nearby Westport. Areas of southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire notched at least 2 feet – with more falling. Airlines scratched more than 5,300 flights through Saturday, and the three major airports serving New York City as well as Boston’s Logan Airport closed.

About 650,000 customers in the Northeast lost power during the height of the snowstorm, most of them in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth, Mass., lost electricity and shut down Friday night during the storm. Authorities say there’s no threat to public safety.

Blizzard warnings are in effect from coastal Maine to northern New Jersey, including Portland, ME; Boston, MA; Hartford, CT; Providence, RI; and Concord NH; to the New York City metro area and Long Island.

Winter Storm Orko will deliver a swath of heavy snow and strong winds to the northern Plains and Upper Midwest Sunday. The southern end of the storm system associated with Orko will have the potential to bring severe thunderstorms and heavy rain to parts of the South.

Sun Coast Resources’ emergency fuel division has been in the Northeast since Superstorm Sandy ravaged that area, and we deployed even more fuel trucks to that region on February 7th. If you or your business is in need of unleaded gasoline or diesel fuel for your generators, or need a dedicated fuel truck or fuel storage tank, call our emergency line now at 800-677-FUEL (3835) extension 567. www.emergencyfuel.net

Sun Coast Resources is here to help around the clock, every day of the year.

Other storm watches:

Beginning late Saturday into Saturday night, some severe storms may fire up in parts of west Texas and southwest Oklahoma and then spread eastward to perhaps near or east of the I-35 corridor by early Sunday morning. Damaging winds and hail are the main threats, however we cannot rule out the possibility of an isolated tornado.

Sunday, the coverage of rain and thunderstorms will expand greatly. These thunderstorms will have the potential to produce damaging winds, large hail and isolated tornadoes and may be ongoing during the morning in eastern Texas. From there, this severe storm threat could spread all the way to the lower-Mississippi Valley.

Sun Coast Driver, Mike Phillips, rolls out of the Houston yard last night on his way to the Northeast.

Emergency Fuel Needs During Winter Storms

January 29, 2013 By admin

Sun Coast Resources’ Emergency Fuel division is ready should you need gasoline, diesel or dye diesel due to power outages from the storms.

Weather.com warns, “One of our biggest concerns is the amount of wind energy carried by this large-scale storm system. Jet stream winds are forecast to easily exceed 150 miles per hour with this system. But more alarmingly, the winds in the lower atmosphere are also expected to be fierce – with the potential for southerly winds of 90 to 105 miles per hour just 5,000 feet above the ground in some areas just ahead of the cold front. That combination of powerful wind energy and an unstable atmosphere – even an only weakly unstable one as we often see in January – may lead to widespread straight-line wind damage along with the potential for a few tornadoes. In addition, with such a strong wind field accompanying this system, individual thunderstorms or squall lines are likely to move forward lightning-quick, at speeds of 50, 60, even 70 miles per hour, making quick action all the more important if and when severe weather warnings are issued.

These strong southerly winds ahead of the cold front will also bring unusually moist air well north of the Ohio River. For some areas it will be among the most humid January air masses in recent history, and the resulting heavy rainfall threat over frozen ground has prompted the National Weather Service to issue flood watches parts of the Upper Midwest, including Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Indianapolis. (Scroll down for more links to watches and warnings.)”

Sun Coast Resources’ emergency fuel response teams are ready to help! When you need red diesel for your generator, Sun Coast is there! When you need a dedicated fuel truck for your multiple business locations, Sun Coast is there! When you need a double wall insulated tank to dispense gas or diesel, Sun Coast is there! When your fleet needs fueling because the gas stations are without gas or power, Sun Coast is there! When your current fuel supplier runs out of its fuel supply, Sun Coast will be there!

This weather monster that U.S. forecasters call “Frankenstorm” is looking ominous by the hour. Meteorologists expect a natural horror show of heavy rain, high winds, extreme tides and snow for several days on the East Coast.

Preparedness and safety Tips for Hurricane Sandy for Communities and Businesses

Each year during hurricane season, people living along coastal and inland communities face the danger of these powerful storms. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina became the costliest and deadliest storm taking more than 1,300 lives and costing US$125bn.
To best prepare for the unpredictable impact of hurricanes, municipalities, academia and businesses should all ensure that:
•    Severe weather alerts are integrated with your mass communication system with automated calls-to-action for emergency responders and constituents.
•    Your weather alerts include lightning, high winds, flash floods and flooding – all weather related to hurricanes.
•    Stock up on water and food supplies as well as fuel for your generators.
•    Promote multiple contact paths for each member of your system to ensure that people, not just devices are reached.
•    Make sure adequate and recent testing of the system and its contact data has been done to guarantee expected results.
•    All emergency responders are trained on how to initiate communications from their mobile devices using lists and map-based capabilities and do not have to rely on being at the office or in front of a computer.
•    Constituents are empowered with mobile apps that they can use to proactively communicate their status and need for emergency response.
•    Social media sites like Twitter are being monitored for real-time, location-specific impact to individuals and communities.
•    Important internal, external & social media information can be aggregated in a single console to deliver situational intelligence to emergency response teams as soon as possible
•    The emergency plan for hurricanes includes appropriate communications at every stage of the incident lifecycle.

Tropical Storms, Tornadoes and Flooding…

August 5, 2012 By admin

The past week has been an active week of storms. A destructive derecho swept across the Midwest Saturday, bringing heavy rains and damaging winds and causing organizers to evacuate the popular concert Lollapalooza in Chicago and resulted in about 150,000 customers who lost power. Elmira, NY experienced an EF-1 tornado on July 26th. The twister produced winds of 105 to 110 mph. The winds brought down trees, many falling into parked vehicles and power lines. Also, all eyes were on Tropical Storm Ernesto and the path it might take in the next several days. Meanwhile, Florence has formed in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa.

Remember, during this storm season, Sun Coast Resources is experienced and able to assist all of the areas that might be affected by flooding, dangerous waves and loss of power.
