A gust of straight line winds gave a Franklin County Sheriff’s Deputy a wild ride this morning as the area was hit by heavy rain.

According to Mike Rundel, Coordinator for Franklin County Emergency Management, a Franklin County Sheriff’s Deputy radioed in that his car was spun “180 degrees” in what was thought to be a possible water spout or tornado but officials have determined was straight line winds.

“He got a wild ride,” Rundel said.

Rundel also said that the area, which has been blanked by between 2 and 4 inches of rain, has some minor flooding issues. Highway 98 is under water a Turkey Point and also at landark Village. Emergency Management officials have contacted the Department of Transportation about putting up signage warning motorists.

News 13 and the Titan 13 Weather Team will continue to monitor this situation.

I live in Eastpoint (Franklin Co) and had to drive to work in PSJ- it was really bad. The deer are also out on the side of the road, not to mention all the water.
Please slow down and pay attention!
