What the National Weather Service wrote

Heavy rain from the previous week breached the levee in the Intracoastal Waterway at the Bay-Walton county line, shutting down barge traffic. This resulted in a local gas shortage for Panama City as none of the barges could deliver gasoline to the local market. The Army Corps of Engineers estimated that a permanent fix will cost up to $5 million.
