A Hurricane Warning means hurricane-force winds are expected

somewhere within this area within the next 36 hours

* WIND

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Equivalent Tropical Storm force wind

        - Peak Wind Forecast: 40-50 mph with gusts to 75 mph

        - Window for Tropical Storm force winds: Wednesday evening

          until Thursday afternoon

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for wind 74

      to 110 mph

        - The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the

          previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Plan for life-threatening wind of equivalent CAT 1 or

          2 hurricane force.

        - PREPARE: Efforts to protect life and property should now be

          rigorously underway. Prepare for considerable wind damage.

        - ACT: Act now to complete preparations before the wind

          becomes hazardous.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive

        - Considerable roof damage to sturdy buildings, with some

          having window, door, and garage door failures leading to

          structural damage. Mobile homes severely damaged, with some

          destroyed. Damage accentuated by airborne projectiles.

          Locations may be uninhabitable for weeks.

        - Many large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences and

          roadway signs blown over.

        - Some roads impassable from large debris, and more within

          urban or heavily wooded places. Several bridges, causeways,

          and access routes impassable.

        - Large areas with power and communications outages.

* FLOODING RAIN

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Flood Watch is in effect

        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 3-6 inches, with locally

          higher amounts

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for major

      flooding rain

        - The flooding rain threat has remained nearly steady from

          the previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for

          major flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues are

          likely.

        - PREPARE: Strongly consider protective actions, especially

          if you are in an area vulnerable to flooding.

        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take

          action will likely result in serious injury or loss of life.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive

        - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and

          rescues.

        - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in

          multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches

          may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas, destructive

          runoff may run quickly down valleys while increasing

          susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood control

          systems and barriers may become stressed.

        - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple

          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or

          washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover

          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of

          moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions

          become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some

          weakened or washed out.

* TORNADO

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:

        - Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for a few

      tornadoes

        - The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the

          previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for a

          few tornadoes.

        - PREPARE: If your shelter is particularly vulnerable to

          tornadoes, prepare to relocate to safe shelter before

          hazardous weather arrives.

        - ACT: If a tornado warning is issued, be ready to shelter

          quickly.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited

        - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the

          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.

        - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with

          power and communications disruptions.

        - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings,

          chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or

          overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off,

          shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown

          off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.

          major flooding from heavy rain. Evacuations and rescues are

          likely.

        - PREPARE: Strongly consider protective actions, especially

          if you are in an area vulnerable to flooding.

        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take

          action will likely result in serious injury or loss of life.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive

        - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and

          rescues.

        - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in

          multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches

          may become dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and

          barriers may become stressed.

        - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple

          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or

          washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover

          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of

          moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions

          become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some

          weakened or washed out.

* TORNADO

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:

        - Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST

      UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK, SIZE AND INTENSITY: Potential for a few

      tornadoes

        - The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the

          previous assessment.

        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for a

          few tornadoes.

        - PREPARE: If your shelter is particularly vulnerable to

          tornadoes, prepare to relocate to safe shelter before

          hazardous weather arrives.

        - ACT: If a tornado warning is issued, be ready to shelter

          quickly.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited

        - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the

          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.

        - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with

          power and communications disruptions.

        - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings,

          chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or

          overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off,

          shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown

          off roads, and boats pulled from moorings.

        - PLAN: Emergency plans should include the potential for a

          few tornadoes.

        - PREPARE: If your shelter is particularly vulnerable to

          tornadoes, prepare to relocate to safe shelter before

          hazardous weather arrives.

        - ACT: If a tornado warning is issued, be ready to shelter

          quickly.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited

        - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the

          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.

        - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with

          power and communications disruptions.

        - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings,

          chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or

          overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off,

          shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown

          off roads, and boats pulled from moorings.

          becomes hazardous.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic

        - Structural damage to sturdy buildings, some with complete

          roof and wall failures. Complete destruction of mobile

          homes. Damage greatly accentuated by large airborne

          projectiles. Locations may be uninhabitable for weeks or

          months.

        - Numerous large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences

          and roadway signs blown over.

        - Many roads impassable from large debris, and more within

        - PREPARE: Strongly consider protective actions, especially

          if you are in an area vulnerable to flooding.

        - ACT: Heed any flood watches and warnings. Failure to take

          action will likely result in serious injury or loss of life.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive

        - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and

          rescues.

        - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in

          multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, and ditches

          may become dangerous rivers. Flood control systems and

          barriers may become stressed.

        - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple

          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or

          washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover

          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of

          moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions

          become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some

          weakened or washed out.

* TORNADO

    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:

        - Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes

    - THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT INCLUDES TYPICAL FORECAST
