* WHAT...Lakeshore flooding expected.

* WHERE...Lake Erie shore of Erie and Chautauqua counties.

* WHEN...Until 10 AM EST Thursday.

* IMPACTS...The rapid rise in water levels at the eastern end of
  Lake Erie will result in lakeshore flooding along the Lake Erie
  shore. Flooding is likely along Route 5 in Hamburg, Buffalo
  Harbor and Canalside, Dunkirk Harbor, and other flood prone
  locations. Very high wave action will also result in shoreline
  erosion.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Lakeshore Flood Warning means lakeshore flooding is occurring,
is imminent, or is expected to occur. For your safety, stay off
breakwaters, piers, rock outcroppings and beaches! Waves are
often larger than they appear and can easily wash you away.
Expect significant beach erosion and debris, local road closures
and extremely dangerous boating conditions.
