POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* SURGE:
Potential impacts from the main surge event are now unfolding across
the Keys. Remain well away from locally hazardous surge having
additional impacts. If realized, these impacts include:
    - Localized inundation with storm surge flooding mainly along
      immediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
      farther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
    - Sections of shoreline roads and parking lots overspread with
      surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge
      water covers the road.
    - Moderate beach erosion.
    - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks,
      and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings.

Elsewhere across Florida Keys, little to no impact is anticipated.

* WIND:
Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time
across Florida Keys.
