Areal Flood Watch
Statement as of 9:04 PM EDT on September 5, 2008 |
... Flood Watch remains in effect from 8 am EDT Saturday through Sunday morning...
The Flood Watch continues for
* all of southern Connecticut... northeast New Jersey and southeast New York... including the following counties... in southern Connecticut... Fairfield... Middlesex... New Haven and New London. In northeast New Jersey... Bergen... Essex... Hudson... Passaic and Union. In southeast New York... Bronx... Kings (brooklyn)... Nassau... New York (manhattan)... Orange... Putnam... Queens... Richmond (staten island)... Rockland... Suffolk and Westchester.
* From 8 am EDT Saturday through Sunday morning.
* Tropical Storm Hanna... located southeast of Charleston South Carolina this evening... is expected to continue to move north overnight... with a turn toward the northeast and an increase in forward speed on Saturday.
* Heavy rain associated with Hanna will begin to spread into the area well in advance of the center of the storm overnight. The heaviest rain is expected Saturday afternoon and Saturday night as the center of Hanna makes its closest approach... passing very near Long Island. Total rainfall of 3 to 6 inches... with some possible higher amounts... will have the potential to produce flooding across highly urbanized and poor drainage areas... and cause small streams and creeks to flow out of their banks.
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts.
Flash flooding often leads to impassable roadways. Motorists that attempt to cross flooded roadways put their lives in danger and can cause thousands of dollars of damage to their vehicles due to water entering the engine and vehicle.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

... Precautionary/preparedness actions...
Another threat a tropical storm can pose is to the boating community. Mariners are advised to remain in port until the tropical storm threat has passed. Boat owners and Marina operators in the warning area should prepare quickly for tropical storm conditions.
Home owners are urged to secure all loose outdoor items. Garbage cans and lawn furniture can easily become projectiles with the onset of tropical storm force winds. All residents and visitors are urged to stock up on batteries... flashlights... drinking water and non-perishable foods. People are also urged to remain indoors during the storm as the combination of heavy rain and gusty winds will result in loose soil and the threat of downed trees... large tree limbs and power lines.
... Storm surge and storm tide...
Coastal storm surge flooding of 2 to 3 feet above normal tide levels is expected as Hanna passes just south and east of Long Island Saturday night. We currently are in a period of neap tides... which results in low astronomical tides. As a result... significant coastal flooding is not expected at this time. However... high seas and rough surf could result in slightly | |
