Storm surge is hurricane's most deadly threat
Coastal communities, the first
to be hit by hurricanes, should al
ways be alert and aware of a hur
ricane's most deadly threat? the
storm surge.
A terrifying phenomenon, the
storm surge is a raised or great
dome of water, often ?0 miles
wide and 10 to 25 feet higher than
the surrounding waters, which
moves swiftly and unpredictably
within the storm's perimeter. It
usually sweeps across the coast
line near the area where the
"eye" of the hurricane makes
landfall.
This enormous water mass can
submerge coastal communities
in an instant and can flood low
lying areas for miles inland.
Therefore, when a "hurricane
warning" is issued and evacua
tion recommended, all residents
of coastal and low-lying areas
should leave their homes and
businesses without delay.
Homes, cottages, and condomi
niums near beaches are espe
cially vulnerable to a hurricane's
high tides, storm surges, and
flooding, reports National Hurri
cane Center experts. Studies
have shown that as many as 50
percent of those residents in the
likely path of an oncoming hurri
cane have failed to evacuate
when warned to do so. Many peo
ple who have chosen to take this
risk have perished.
Being prepared is essential to
hurricane survival. A regular re
view of safety tips and precau
tionary measures will maximize
your protection.
Know the following terms: A
"hurricane watch" is issued for
coastal areas when hurricane
conditions are expected to occur
within 24 hours in a specific
coastal area. These conditions in
dude winds of hurricane force,
dangerously high tides and
waves, or a combination these
conditions.
The following tips are basic are
very important: Do keep listen
ing to your local radio or TV sta
tions for weather advisories and
special instructions when a hur
ricane threatens. Be sure to have
battery-powdered radios and
flashlights with extra batteries
on hand. Your battery-powdered
radio could be your only source
of information in a hurricane
emergency.
*
Board up or tape windows for
protection against wind-driven
debris. Although tape may not
prevent windows from breaking,
it helps prevent flying glass. Se
cure outdoor objects such as ga
rage cans, lawn chairs, and
porch furniture.
Those not immediately di
rected to evacuate their homes
should be certain your supply of
non-perichable food is adequate.
Store a supply of drinking water
in clean bathtubs or sinks, bot
tles, or cooking utenisls.
Your city's water supply could
become contaminated. Fill your
car's fuel tank in case evacuation
becomes necessary. Service sta
tions could close if electricity
fails.
Avoid becoming trapped in an
automobile on an open road
flooded by high tides, storm
waves, or torrential rains. Driv
ing in such areas is dangerous
and can be further complicated
by traffic jams. Get an early
start in evacuating your area.
As a hurricane approaches,
leave mobile homes for a more
substanial shelter. Mobile
homes, even if firmly secured,
are extremely vulnerable to both
high winds and flooding. Also,
plan to leave if you live on the
coastline, on an offshore island,
near a river, or in a floodplain.
If you have questions about
hurricane preparedness, contact
Perquimans County Emergency
Management Agency.
