Title: Re: [MOL] Tropical Storm Warning and Hurricane
watch
Hi Lillian,
I take it you are right in the path of this tropical storm. I
suppose you know how to batten down the hatches and cope, but I don't
envy you the need to do so. We never have any storms that do the kind
of damage Hurricanes do. I hope you will be safe and that the storm
passes you without causing any damage.
Love
Liz

The National
Hurricane Center in Miami has issued Tropical Storm Warning and
Hurricane watch for Beaufort County. Later today tropical force winds
(winds exceeding 39 mph) may effect Beaufort County. Residents should
remove articles from their yards which may become flying debris and
capable of damaging property and causing injury. Downed power lines
may be a problem later today and caution should be taken to stay away
from any lines. Residents are asked to report any downed lines to the
power company.
Visitor and residents
should be aware of the effect of tropical storm winds on large
vehicles such as recreational vehicles and camper trailers. Beach
erosion may occur and dangerous rip currents are present. Residents
and visitors are encouraged to stay out of the ocean
today.
The Beaufort County
Emergency Operations Center and the Town of Hilton Head Emergency
Operations Center will be open throughout the
day.
