- The storm surge threat has increased from the previous
assessment.
- Emergency planning should include a reasonable threat for
peak storm surge flooding of greater than 1 foot above
ground.

surge flooding impacts. Efforts should now be underway.
- Localized inundation is possible. Follow the instructions
of local officials. Consider voluntary evacuation if
recommended. Leave if evacuation orders are issued.

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.

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.
