uprooted, but with greater numbers in places where trees
are shallow rooted. Some fences and roadway signs blown
over.

urban or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving
conditions on bridges and other elevated roadways.

above ground.
- PREPARE: Complete preparations for storm surge flooding,
especially in low-lying vulnerable areas, before conditions
become unsafe.
- ACT: Leave immediately if evacuation orders are given for
your area.
- POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
- 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.

overspread with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous
in places where surge water covers the road.
