SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------
Due to its large physical size Helene will bring some peripheral
effects to the area. Very outer tropical bands will be capable of
producing moderate rainfall and breezy conditions. There will also be
a small but non-zero tornado threat. Hazardous marine conditions will
develop with large waves and tropical storm forced wind gusts. The
main timing window of these impacts will be late Thursday into early
Friday.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* TORNADOES:
Prepare for a dangerous tornado event having possible significant
impacts across Northeast South Carolina.
Potential impacts include:
- The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder preparedness
actions during tropical events.
- Tornadoes can rip roofs from homes, destroy mobile homes, cause
trees to become snapped or uprooted, flip cars and boats.
Dangerous projectiles can add to the damage.
- Several places may experience tornado damage with a few spots
of considerable damage, power loss, and communications failures.
Prepare for a tornado event having possible limited impacts across
Southeast North Carolina.
* FLOODING RAIN:
Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible
significant impacts across Northeast South Carolina. Potential
impacts include:
- Moderate flooding from rainfall may prompt some evacuations and
rescues.
- Rivers and streams may rise and overspill their banks in a few
places, especially in the typical prone locations. Small creeks
and ditches may overflow.
- Flood waters may enter some structures. Underpasses, low-lying
spots along roadways, and poor drainage areas may become
submerged by rising water. Some secondary streets and parking
lots may flood as storm drains and retention ponds overflow.
- Driving conditions will become hazardous, and some road
closures can be expected.
Protect against locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible
limited impacts across Southeast North Carolina.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------
* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:
Outside preparations should be wrapped up as soon as possible before
weather conditions completely deteriorate. Any remaining evacuations
and relocations should be expedited before the onset of tropical
storm force wind.
If you are relocating to safe shelter, leave as early as possible. If
heading to a community shelter, become familiar with the shelter
rules before arrival, especially if you have special needs or own a
pet. Take essential items with you from your Emergency Supplies Kit.
Check the latest weather forecast before departing.
Keep cell phones well charged and handy. Also, cell phone chargers
for automobiles can be helpful after the storm. Locate your chargers
and keep them with your cell phone
Closely monitor NOAA Weather radio or other local news outlets for
official storm information. Be ready to adapt to possible changes to
the forecast.
