People need to be aware that in St. Mary's County, there are several of our roads that are subject to heavy flooding and they would be impassable during a major hurricane. We usually get several inches of rain prior to impact. 34-knot winds will close large bridges to van and large vehicle traffic.
Storm surge is the biggest killer prior to hurricane.
The tornadoes spawned by the hurricane will cause more deaths than the hurricane itself. Make sure that you have your disaster preparation kit on hand in your home, and that your family has a place of shelter within your home. All Rights Reserved.
