\nWEA Text: NWS: Life-threatening storm surge danger. Check for possible evacuation orders.
\nDescription: A Hurricane Warning means Hurricane wind conditions are expected
\nsomewhere within this area and within the next 36 hours<\/p>\n

* LOCATIONS AFFECTED
\n– New Bern
\n– Havelock
\n– Vanceboro<\/p>\n

* WIND
\n– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Equivalent Cat 1 Hurricane force wind
\n– Peak Wind Forecast: 75-95 mph with gusts to 120 mph
\n– Window for Tropical Storm force winds: Friday evening until
\nearly Sunday morning
\n– Window for Hurricane force winds: Saturday morning until
\nSaturday evening<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
\n– The wind threat has increased from the previous assessment.
\n– Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
\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

* STORM SURGE
\n– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible
\n– Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 4-7 feet
\nabove ground somewhere within surge prone areas
\n– Window of concern: Begins Friday morning<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: High
\n– The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the
\nprevious assessment.
\n– Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
\nmajor storm surge flooding of greater than 6 feet above
\nground.
\n– To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
\nextensive storm surge flooding impacts. Evacuation efforts
\nshould now be brought to completion. Evacuations must be
\ncomplete before driving conditions become unsafe.
\n– Life-threatening inundation is possible. Failure to heed
\nevacuation orders may result in serious injury, significant
\nloss of life, or human suffering. Leave if evacuation
\norders are given for your area. Consider voluntary
\nevacuation if recommended. Poor decisions may result in
\nbeing cut off or needlessly risk lives.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive
\n– Large areas of deep inundation with storm surge flooding
\naccentuated by battering waves. Structural damage to
\nbuildings, with several washing away. Damage compounded by
\nfloating debris. Locations may be uninhabitable for an
\nextended period.
\n– Large sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary
\nroads washed out or severely flooded. Flood control systems
\nand barriers may become stressed.
\n– Severe beach erosion with significant dune loss.
\n– Major damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. Many
\nsmall craft broken away from moorings, especially in
\nunprotected anchorages with some lifted onshore and
\nstranded.<\/p>\n

* FLOODING RAIN
\n– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
\n– Peak Rainfall Amounts: 8-12 inches, with locally higher
\namounts<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
\n– The flooding rain threat has remained nearly steady from
\nthe previous assessment.
\n– Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat of
\nextreme flooding where peak rainfall totals vastly exceed
\namounts conducive for flash flooding and rapid inundation.
\nRescues and emergency evacuations are very likely.
\n– To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
\ndevastating to catastrophic flooding rain impacts.
\n– Life-threatening flooding is possible. Failure to take
\naction may result in serious injury, significant loss of
\nlife, or human suffering. If flood related watches and
\nwarnings are issued, heed recommended actions. Poor
\ndecisions may result in being cut off or needlessly risk
\nlives. If vulnerable, relocate to safe shelter on higher
\nground before flood waters arrive.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
\n– Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations
\nand rescues.
\n– Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their
\nbanks in many places with deep moving water. Small streams,
\ncreeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become raging
\nrivers. In mountain areas, deadly runoff may rage down
\nvalleys while increasing susceptibility to rockslides and
\nmudslides. Flood control systems and barriers may become
\nstressed.
\n– Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
\ncommunities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or
\nwashed away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover
\nescape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of
\nraging water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions
\nbecome very dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures
\nwith some weakened or washed out.<\/p>\n

* TORNADO
\n– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
\n– Situation is favorable for tornadoes<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Moderate
\n– The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the
\nprevious assessment.
\n– When implementing emergency plans, include should include a
\nreasonable threat for scattered tornadoes.
\n– To be safe, earnestly prepare for the potential of
\nsignificant tornado impacts.
\n– Listen for tornado watches and warnings. Be ready to
\nshelter quickly if a tornado approaches.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
\n– The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the
\nexecution of emergency plans during tropical events.
\n– Several places may experience tornado damage with a few
\nspots of considerable damage, power loss, and
\ncommunications failures.
\n– Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
\nhomes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped
\nor uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed
\nabout. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.<\/p>\n

* STORM SURGE
\n– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible
\n– Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 4-7 feet
\nabove ground somewhere within surge prone areas
\n– Window of concern: Begins Friday morning<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: High
\n– The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the
\nprevious assessment.
\n– Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
\nmajor storm surge flooding of greater than 6 feet above
\nground.
\n– To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
\nextensive storm surge flooding impacts. Evacuation efforts
\nshould now be brought to completion. Evacuations must be
\ncomplete before driving conditions become unsafe.
\n– Life-threatening inundation is possible. Failure to heed
\nevacuation orders may result in serious injury, significant
\nloss of life, or human suffering. Leave if evacuation
\norders are given for your area. Consider voluntary
\nevacuation if recommended. Poor decisions may result in
\nbeing cut off or needlessly risk lives.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive
\n– Large areas of deep inundation with storm surge flooding
\naccentuated by battering waves. Structural damage to
\nbuildings, with several washing away. Damage compounded by
\nfloating debris. Locations may be uninhabitable for an
\nextended period.
\n– Large sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary
\nroads washed out or severely flooded. Flood control systems
\nand barriers may become stressed.
\n– Severe beach erosion with significant dune loss.
\n– Major damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. Many
\nsmall craft broken away from moorings, especially in
\nunprotected anchorages with some lifted onshore and
\nstranded.<\/p>\n

* FLOODING RAIN

\n– The flooding rain threat has remained nearly steady from
\nthe previous assessment.
\n– Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat of
\nextreme flooding where peak rainfall totals vastly exceed
\namounts conducive for flash flooding and rapid inundation.
\nRescues and emergency evacuations are very likely.
\n– To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
\ndevastating to catastrophic flooding rain impacts.
\n– Life-threatening flooding is possible. Failure to take
\naction may result in serious injury, significant loss of
\nlife, or human suffering. If flood related watches and
\nwarnings are issued, heed recommended actions. Poor
\ndecisions may result in being cut off or needlessly risk
\nlives. If vulnerable, relocate to safe shelter on higher
\nground before flood waters arrive.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
\n– Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations
\nand rescues.
\n– Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their
\nbanks in many places with deep moving water. Small streams,
\ncreeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become raging
\nrivers. In mountain areas, deadly runoff may rage down
\nvalleys while increasing susceptibility to rockslides and
\nmudslides. Flood control systems and barriers may become
\nstressed.
\n– Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
\ncommunities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or
\nwashed away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover
\nescape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of
\nraging water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions
\nbecome very dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures
\nwith some weakened or washed out.<\/p>\n

\n– Listen for tornado watches and warnings. Be ready to
\nshelter quickly if a tornado approaches.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
\n– The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the
\nexecution of emergency plans during tropical events.
\n– Several places may experience tornado damage with a few
\nspots of considerable damage, power loss, and
\ncommunications failures.
\n– Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
\nhomes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped
\nor uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed

\naction may result in serious injury, significant loss of
\nlife, or human suffering. If flood related watches and
\nwarnings are issued, heed recommended actions. Poor
\ndecisions may result in being cut off or needlessly risk
\nlives. If vulnerable, relocate to safe shelter on higher
\nground before flood waters arrive.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Devastating to Catastrophic
\n– Extreme rainfall flooding may prompt numerous evacuations
\nand rescues.
\n– Rivers and tributaries may overwhelmingly overflow their
\nbanks in many places with deep moving water. Small streams,
\ncreeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches may become raging
\nrivers. In mountain areas, deadly runoff may rage down
\nvalleys while increasing susceptibility to rockslides and
\nmudslides. Flood control systems and barriers may become
\nstressed.
\n– Flood waters can enter numerous structures within multiple
\ncommunities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or
\nwashed away. Numerous places where flood waters may cover
\nescape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of
\nraging water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions
\nbecome very dangerous. Numerous road and bridge closures
\nwith some weakened or washed out.<\/p>\n

* TORNADO
\n– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
\n– Situation is favorable for tornadoes<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Moderate
\n– The tornado threat has remained nearly steady from the
\nprevious assessment.
\n– When implementing emergency plans, include should include a
\nreasonable threat for scattered tornadoes.
\n– To be safe, earnestly prepare for the potential of
\nsignificant tornado impacts.
\n– Listen for tornado watches and warnings. Be ready to
\nshelter quickly if a tornado approaches.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Significant
\n– The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the
\nexecution of emergency plans during tropical events.
\n– Several places may experience tornado damage with a few
\nspots of considerable damage, power loss, and
\ncommunications failures.
\n– Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile
\nhomes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped
\nor uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed
\nabout. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.<\/p>\n

\nearly Sunday morning
\n– Window for Hurricane force winds: Saturday morning until
\nSaturday evening<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
\n– The wind threat has increased from the previous assessment.
\n– Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
\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

* STORM SURGE
\n– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST: Life-threatening storm surge possible
\n– Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 4-7 feet
\nabove ground somewhere within surge prone areas
\n– Window of concern: Begins Friday morning<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: High
\n– The storm surge threat has remained nearly steady from the
\nprevious assessment.
\n– Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat for
\nmajor storm surge flooding of greater than 6 feet above
\nground.
\n– To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
\nextensive storm surge flooding impacts. Evacuation efforts
\nshould now be brought to completion. Evacuations must be
\ncomplete before driving conditions become unsafe.
\n– Life-threatening inundation is possible. Failure to heed
\nevacuation orders may result in serious injury, significant
\nloss of life, or human suffering. Leave if evacuation
\norders are given for your area. Consider voluntary
\nevacuation if recommended. Poor decisions may result in
\nbeing cut off or needlessly risk lives.<\/p>\n

– POTENTIAL IMPACTS: Extensive
\n– Large areas of deep inundation with storm surge flooding
\naccentuated by battering waves. Structural damage to
\nbuildings, with several washing away. Damage compounded by
\nfloating debris. Locations may be uninhabitable for an
\nextended period.
\n– Large sections of near-shore escape routes and secondary
\nroads washed out or severely flooded. Flood control systems
\nand barriers may become stressed.
\n– Severe beach erosion with significant dune loss.
\n– Major damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. Many
\nsmall craft broken away from moorings, especially in
\nunprotected anchorages with some lifted onshore and
\nstranded.<\/p>\n

* FLOODING RAIN
\n– LATEST LOCAL FORECAST:
\n– Peak Rainfall Amounts: 8-12 inches, with locally higher
\namounts<\/p>\n

– CURRENT THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY: Extreme
\n– The flooding rain threat has remained nearly steady from
\nthe previous assessment.
\n– Emergency plans should include a reasonable threat of
\nextreme flooding where peak rainfall totals vastly exceed
\namounts conducive for flash flooding and rapid inundation.
\nRescues and emergency evacuations are very likely.
\n– To be safe, aggressively prepare for the potential of
\ndevastating to catastrophic flooding rain impacts.
\n– Life-threatening flooding is possible. Failure to take
\naction may result in serious injury, significant loss of
\nlife, or human suffering. If flood related watches and
