    - POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Limited
        - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
          mobile homes is possible. Unsecured lightweight objects may
          be blown about.
        - Some large limbs may break from trees. A few shallow rooted
          or weak trees may snap or be knocked down. Some fences and
          roadway signs will be damaged.

          particularly within urban or heavily wooded places.
          Hazardous driving conditions are possible, especially for
          high profile vehicles on bridges and other elevated
          roadways.
        - Scattered power and communications outages are possible.

* STORM SURGE
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Localized storm surge possible

          flooding of low-lying roads and property.
        - ACT: Stay away from storm surge prone areas. Continue to
          follow the instructions of local officials.

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

* FLOODING RAIN
    - LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 2-4 inches, with locally

          and rescues.
        - Rivers and streams may rise and overspill their banks in a
          few places, especially in the typical prone locations.
          Small creeks and ditches may overflow.
        - Flood waters may enter some structures. Underpasses,
          low-lying spots along roadways, and poor drainage areas may
          become submerged by rising water. Some secondary streets
          and parking lots may flood as storm drains and retention
          ponds overflow.
        - Driving conditions will become hazardous, and some road
          closures can be expected.
