POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * SURGE: Potential significant impacts from the main surge event are ongoing along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay and tidal Potomac River. 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 near-shore roads and parking lots become overspread with surge water. Driving conditions dangerous in places where surge water covers the road. - Moderate beach erosion. Heavy surf also breaching dunes, mainly in usually vulnerable locations. Strong rip currents. - Minor to locally moderate damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers. A few small craft broken away from moorings. * FLOODING RAIN: Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern. Remain well guarded against locally hazardous flood waters having further impacts of elevated potential. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- Allow extra time for emergency vehicles to reach you as they navigate road hazards. When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes. Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance. Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience do the job. Never cut trees without a partner. If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from open doors and windows. Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened trees and/or power lines. Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams which may have yet to crest. Remain informed of the latest river forecasts and heed any flood watches and warnings. NEXT UPDATE ----------- As it pertains to this event. this will be the last local statement issued by the National Weather Service in Baltimore MD/Washington DC regarding the effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.
