That depends on the speed and track of the storm. Rains could start as much as 12 hours before landfall and last as long as 24 hours. While the weather may be nice, conditions will deteriorate rapidly with the approaching storm. Tide information is provided in local Newspapers, NOAA Weather Channel and the TV Weather Channel 25. Storm information is broadcast at the top of every hour on all radio networks.
Road conditions are always difficult to determine immediately after the storm has passed.
Emergency Management will provide information, as we are able to collect and verify this information. Confirmed information is supplied to media agencies for broadcast. Calling ahead before traveling is recommended to insure businesses are open and are able to provide services. Motorists will be cautioned against travel across bridges after winds exceed 40 mph. All bridges will remain open.
