PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
STAY CALM AND KEEP INFORMED.
REGARDING YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS...COVER ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS
WITH SHUTTERS OR PLYWOOD. MOVE PATIO FURNITURE AND OTHER LOOSE
OBJECTS INDOORS. BRACE ALL EXTERIOR DOORS...INCLUDING GARAGE
DOORS. DO THIS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A TRIP TO THE HARDWARE STORE...THE GROCERY
STORE...OR THE GAS STATION...DO SO AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.

...WINDS...
AS TROPICAL STORM KAREN MOVES CLOSER...THE THREAT FOR SUSTAINED
HIGH WINDS IS LIKELY TO INCREASE. THE LATEST FORECAST IS FOR
WINDS TO REMAIN BELOW TROPICAL STORM FORCE. IF THE TRACK OF THE
STORM MOVES FURTHER WEST THAN EXPECTED...THE THREAT OF TROPICAL
STORM AND HURRICANE WINDS WILL INCREASE CONSIDERABLY.
...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THE EXACT HEIGHTS OF COMBINED
STORM SURGE AND TIDE WATERS FOR SPECIFIC LOCATIONS WITHIN THE
FORECAST AREA TO BE CAUSED BY TROPICAL STORM KAREN. MUCH DEPENDS
ON THE PRECISE SIZE...INTENSITY AND TRACK OF THE SYSTEM AS IT
APPROACHES THE COAST. GIVEN THE LATEST FORECAST...THERE IS A
CHANCE FOR COMBINED STORM SURGE AND ASTRONOMICAL TIDE WATERS TO
PRODUCE FLOOD INUNDATION 2 TO 4 FEET ABOVE GROUND SOMEWHERE
WITHIN THE SURGE ZONE.
AT THIS TIME THERE IS A GENERAL CONCERN FOR THE CHANCE OF AREAS OF
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING.
...INLAND FLOODING...
THERE IS A LOW THREAT OF INLAND FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAINFALL.
