It could if it turns. Sounds like it's gonna be more toward the Florida-Georgia Line.

From the NHC:


1. Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (AL92):
Updated:  Recent data from an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance
aircraft and visible satellite imagery indicate that the area of
low pressure located about 120 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida,
has developed a well-defined center of circulation and is
producing winds to near 35 mph, but the associated showers and
thunderstorms are not quite organized enough for this system to be
considered a tropical cyclone.  However, only a small increase in
the organization of the showers and thunderstorms could result in
the formation of a short-lived tropical depression before it
reaches the coast of northeastern Florida or Georgia tonight, and
interests there should monitor its progress.  For more information,
refer to High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service,
as well as local forecasts issued by your local National Weather
Service Forecast Office.

We're close to needing some rain.  The highs for the next ten days are all in the 90s.  It wasn't terrible out there earlier though.

I see @FearlessF is on the board today, so his area must be on high ground. A lot of SD and IA are a disaster right now.

At the borders of South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota, floodwaters rose over several days.

In the Sioux City, Iowa, area, a huge train bridge collapsed into the Big Sioux River late Sunday, an emergency manager said.

The bridge connects North Sioux City, South Dakota, with nearby Sioux City, Iowa, Jason Westcott, an emergency manager in Union County, South Dakota, told KCAU-TV. Some of the trusses collapsed, Westcott said.


Images from local media show a large span of the steel bridge partially underwater as floodwaters rush over it.



In northwest Iowa, 13 rivers flooded, said Eric Tigges of Clay County emergency management. Entire neighborhoods, and at least one whole town, were evacuated, and the Iowa town of Spencer imposed a curfew Sunday for a second night after flooding that surpassed a record set in 1953.

“When the flood gauge is underwater, it’s really high,” Tigges said at a news conference organized by Spencer officials.

Gov. Kim Reynolds declared a disaster for 21 counties in northern Iowa, including Sioux County. In drone video posted by the local sheriff, no streets were visible, just roofs and treetops poking above the water.

don't worry about me fellas
I'm on high ground and don't need to drive through water on closed roads to get groceries, yet.

high ground = Loess hills

The Loess Hills are generally located between 1 and 15 miles east of the Missouri River channel. The Loess Hills rise 200 feet  above the flat plains forming a narrow band running north–south 200 miles  along the Missouri River. These hills are the first rise in land beyond the floodplain, forming something of a "front range" for Iowa, and parts of Missouri and Nebraska adjacent to the Missouri River. The Loess land formations of Iowa extend north into South Dakota and is a feature of three state Parks in South Eastern South Dakota. Union Grove State Park, Newton Hills State Park and Blood Run State Park.


During the last Ice Age, glaciers advanced into the middle of North America, grinding underlying rock into dust-like "glacial flour." As temperatures warmed, the glaciers retreated and vast amounts of meltwater and sediment flooded the Missouri River Valley. The sediment was deposited on the flood plain, creating huge mud flats. When meltwaters receded, these mud flats were exposed. As they dried, the fine-grained silt was picked up by strong prevailing westerly winds. Huge dust clouds were moved and redeposited over broad areas. The heavier, coarser silt was deposited close to the Missouri River flood plain, forming vast dune fields. The dune fields were eventually stabilized by grass. Due to the erosive nature of loess soil and its ability to stand in vertical columns when dry, the stabilized dunes were eroded into the corrugated, sharply dissected bluffs we see today.

The dominant features of this landscape are "peak and saddle" topography, "razor ridges" (narrow ridges, often less than 10 feet (3 m) wide, which fall off at near ninety-degree angles on either side for 60 feet or more, and "cat-step" terraces (caused by the constant slumping and vertical shearing of the loess soil). The soil has a characteristic yellow hue and is generally broken down into several units based on the period of deposition (Loveland, Pisgah, Peoria). Loess is known locally as "sugar clay" because it can be extremely hard when dry, but when wet, loses all cohesion. The Loess Hills of Iowa are remarkable for the depth of the drift layer, often more than 90 feet deep. The only comparable deposits of loess to such an extent are located in Shaanxi, China.
