SITUATION OVERVIEW
——————
Hurricane Ian, a category 1 storm, will make landfall again on the
South Carolina coast Friday afternoon. It will track north northwest
across the Carolinas, weakening as it does so, bringing strong winds
and heavy rain to the region. Localized flash flooding will be
possible with the heavy rain, especially across the Piedmont and North
Carolina foothills.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
—————–
* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against life-threatening flooding having impacts across
the western Carolinas. Potential impacts include:
– Major rainfall flooding may prompt evacuations and rescues.
– Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in
multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and
ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas,
destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while
increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. Flood
control systems and barriers may become stressed.
– Driving conditions become dangerous.
– Many road and bridge closures with some weakened or washed out.
* WIND:
Protect against hazardous wind gusts. Potential impacts include:
– Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored
mobile homes. Unsecured lightweight objects blown about.
– Many large tree limbs broken off. Some fences and roadway signs blown over.
– A few roads impassable from debris, particularly within urban
or heavily wooded places. Hazardous driving conditions on
bridges and other elevated roadways.
– Scattered power and communications outages.
Also, protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts
across the remainder of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
———————————-
Now is the time to complete all preparations to protect life and
property in accordance with your emergency plan. Ensure you are in a
safe location before the onset of strong winds or possible flooding.
Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather radio or local news outlets
for official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes
to the forecast. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive weather
warnings.
