Tropical Storm Ernesto Advisory

Valdosta State University is continuing to monitor Tropical Storm Ernesto. The weakened storm has been moving north through Florida and is forecast to be located off the coast of Georgia during the day on Thursday.

University operations at VSU are continuing as normal. Members of the VSU community and visitors to the campus are encouraged to keep informed about the projected path of the storm. Students traveling should monitor weather developments and take caution when traveling on highways, especially in low areas of South Georgia that possibly might be threatened by flooding rains if the tropical system approaches. We invite readers to also visit two other links on our main web page-----"Hurricane Season 2006" and "VSU 2006 Hurricane Communications PROTOCOL."

The projected path of the tropical system can be viewed at the following National Hurricane Center web link:
