DAMAGE TO PORCHES, AWNINGS, CARPORTS, AND SHEDS. A FEW
BUILDINGS EXPERIENCING WINDOW, DOOR, AND GARAGE DOOR
FAILURES. MOBILE HOMES DAMAGED, ESPECIALLY IF UNANCHORED.
UNSECURED LIGHTWEIGHT OBJECTS BECOME DANGEROUS PROJECTILES.
- SEVERAL LARGE TREES SNAPPED OR UPROOTED, BUT WITH GREATER
NUMBERS IN PLACES WHERE TREES ARE SHALLOW ROOTED. SEVERAL
FENCES AND ROADWAY SIGNS BLOWN OVER.
- SOME ROADS IMPASSABLE FROM LARGE DEBRIS, AND MORE WITHIN
URBAN OR HEAVILY WOODED PLACES. A FEW BRIDGES, CAUSEWAYS,
AND ACCESS ROUTES IMPASSABLE.

- LOCALIZED INUNDATION IS POSSIBLE. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS
OF LOCAL OFFICIALS. CONSIDER VOLUNTARY EVACUATION IF
RECOMMENDED. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY IF EVACUATION ORDERS ARE
