During the worst of the storm, avoid driving on the roads, if possible. Treat downed power lines as live lines and treat red light outages as four-way stops.

Flooding for areas East of Interstate 95 and high winds throughout the County are the predicted impacts for our area. Storm surge can potentially be 3-5 feet above normal tide. Secure any lawn chairs, garbage cans, trampolines etc. as they can become projectiles in high winds.
