That's the word from the National Weather Service tonight. I don't believe I have ever seen a warning so dire. Click the link above if you want to read the entire Hurricane Warning. Here's the good part:
LIFE THREATENING INUNDATION LIKELY!
ALL NEIGHBORHOODS ... AND POSSIBLY ENTIRE COASTAL COMMUNITIES ... WILL
BE INUNDATED DURING THE PERIOD OF PEAK STORM TIDE. PERSONS NOT HEEDING
EVACUATION ORDERS IN SINGLE FAMILY ONE OR TWO STORY HOMES WILL FACE
CERTAIN DEATH. MANY RESIDENCES OF AVERAGE CONSTRUCTION DIRECTLY ON THE
COAST WILL BE DESTROYED. WIDESPREAD AND DEVASTATING PERSONAL PROPERTY
DAMAGE IS LIKELY ELSEWHERE. VEHICLES LEFT BEHIND WILL LIKELY BE SWEPT
AWAY. NUMEROUS ROADS WILL BE SWAMPED ... SOME MAY BE WASHED AWAY BY THE
WATER. ENTIRE FLOOD PRONE COASTAL COMMUNITIES WILL BE CUTOFF. WATER
LEVELS MAY EXCEED 9 FEET FOR MORE THAN A MILE INLAND. COASTAL RESIDENTS
IN MULTI-STORY FACILITIES RISK BEING CUTOFF. CONDITIONS WILL BE WORSENED
BY BATTERING WAVES. SUCH WAVES WILL EXACERBATE PROPERTY DAMAGE ... WITH
MASSIVE DESTRUCTION OF HOMES ... INCLUDING THOSE OF BLOCK CONSTRUCTION.
DAMAGE FROM BEACH EROSION COULD TAKE YEARS TO REPAIR.
