Prepare for significant wind damage.- ACT: Act now to complete preparations before the windbecomes hazardous.- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant- Some damage to roofing and siding materials, along withdamage to porches, awnings, carports, and sheds. A fewbuildings experiencing window, door, and garage doorfailures. Mobile homes damaged, especially if unanchored.Unsecured lightweight objects become dangerous projectiles.- Several large trees snapped or uprooted, but with greaternumbers in places where trees are shallow rooted. Severalfences and roadway signs blown over.- Some roads impassable from large debris, and more withinurban or heavily wooded places. A few bridges, causeways,and access routes impassable.- Scattered power and communications outages, but moreprevalent in areas with above ground lines.* STORM SURGE- LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible- Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 5-8 feetabove ground somewhere within surge prone areas- Window of concern: Begins early Thursday morning- THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECASTUNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for stormsurge flooding greater than 6 feet above ground- PLAN: Plan for life-threatening storm surge flooding ofgreater than 6 feet above ground.- PREPARE: Evacuation preparations should be underway.Assemble disaster supplies and know your evacuation route.- ACT: Leave if evacuation orders are given for your area.Failure to heed evacuation orders may result in the loss ofyour life.- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive- Large areas of deep inundation with storm surge floodingaccentuated by battering waves.
