\nmajor hurricane force wind greater than 110 mph of
\nequivalent Category 3 intensity or higher.
\n– To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
\ndevastating to catastrophic wind impacts. Remaining efforts
\nto secure properties should now be brought to completion.
\n– Extremely dangerous and life-threatening wind is possible.
\nFailure to adequately shelter may result in serious injury,
\nloss of life, or immense human suffering. Move to safe
\nshelter before the wind becomes hazardous.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
\n– Structural damage to sturdy buildings, some with complete
\nroof and wall failures. Complete destruction of mobile
\nhomes. Damage greatly accentuated by large airborne
\nprojectiles. Locations may be uninhabitable for weeks or
\nmonths.
\n– Numerous large trees snapped or uprooted along with fences
\nand roadway signs blown over.
\n– Many roads impassable from large debris, and more within
\nurban or heavily wooded places. Many bridges, causeways,
\nand access routes impassable.
\n– Widespread power and communications outages.<\/p>\n

\nimmediate shorelines and in low-lying spots, or in areas
\nfarther inland near where higher surge waters move ashore.
\n– Sections of near-shore roads and parking lots become
\noverspread with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous
\nin places where surge water covers the road.
\n– Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes,
\nmainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents.

\ncreeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches overflow.
\n– Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken
\nfoundations. Several places may experience expanded areas
\nof rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and
\npoor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on
\nmoving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow.
\nDriving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge
\nclosures.<\/p>\n
