...HURRICANE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT...
...STORM SURGE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT...

* WIND
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Equivalent Tropical Storm force wind
        - Peak Wind Forecast: 35-45 mph with gusts to 60 mph
        - Window for Tropical Storm force winds: until Tuesday
          afternoon

    - CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: High
        - The wind threat has remained nearly steady from the
          previous assessment.
        - Remain braced against the reasonable threat for hurricane
          force wind of 74 to 110 mph of equivalent Category 1 to 2
          intensity.
        - To be safe, efforts should fully focus on protecting life.
          Properties remain subject to extensive wind impacts.
        - Now is the time to urgently hide from the wind. Failure to
          adequately shelter may result in serious injury or loss of
          life. Remain sheltered until the hazardous wind subsides.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Unfolding
        - Potential impacts from the main wind event are unfolding.

* STORM SURGE
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible
        - Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 7-11 feet
          above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
        - Window of concern: Begins late this afternoon

    - CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
        - The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the
          previous assessment.
        - Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
          extreme storm surge flooding greater than 9 feet above
          ground.
        - To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
          devastating to catastrophic storm surge flooding impacts.
          Evacuation efforts should now be brought to completion.
          Evacuations must be complete before driving conditions
          become unsafe.
        - Life-threatening inundation is possible. Failure to heed
          evacuation orders may result in serious injury, significant
          loss of life, or immense human suffering. Leave if
          evacuation orders are given for your area. Consider
          voluntary evacuation if recommended. Poor decisions may
          result in being cut off or needlessly risk lives.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
        - Widespread deep inundation, with storm surge flooding
          greatly accentuated by powerful battering waves. Structural
          damage to buildings, with many washing away. Damage greatly
          compounded from considerable floating debris. Locations may
          be uninhabitable for an extended period.
        - Near-shore escape routes and secondary roads washed out or
          severely flooded. Flood control systems and barriers may
          become stressed.
        - Extreme beach erosion. New shoreline cuts possible.
        - Massive damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers.
          Numerous small craft broken away from moorings with many
          lifted onshore and stranded.

* FLOODING RAIN
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Flash Flood Watch is in effect
        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional More than two feet

    - CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
        - The flooding rain threat has increased from the previous
          assessment.
        - Emergency considerations should include a threat of
          flooding.
        - Be safe and remain ready to protect against flooding rain
          impacts.
        - If flood related watches and warnings are in effect, heed
          recommended actions.

    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
        - Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations
          and rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their
          banks in many places with deep moving water. Small streams,
          creeks, canals, and ditches may become raging rivers. Flood
          control systems and barriers may become stressed.
        - Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or
          washed away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover
          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of
          raging water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions
          become very dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures
          with some weakened or washed out.

* TORNADO
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Tornado Watch is in effect
        - Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes

    - CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Elevated
        - The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the
          previous assessment.
        - Emergency considerations should include a reasonable threat
          for tornadoes.
        - Be safe and remain ready to protect against tornado
          impacts. Stay informed.
        - Listen for tornado watches and warnings. If a tornado
          approaches, quickly move to the safest place within your
          shelter.

    - 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.
