POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * FLOODING RAIN: Protect against dangerous rainfall flooding having possible significant impacts areas east of I-95. Potential impacts include: - Moderate flooding from rainfall may prompt some evacuations and rescues. - Rivers and streams may rise and overspill their banks in a few places, especially in the typical prone locations. Small creeks and ditches may overflow. - Flood waters may enter some structures. Underpasses, low-lying spots along roadways, and poor drainage areas may become submerged by rising water. Some secondary streets and parking lots may flood as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. - Driving conditions will become hazardous, and some road closures can be expected. Protect against locally hazardous rainfall flooding having possible limited impacts along and west of I-95. * OTHER COASTAL HAZARDS: Life-threatening rip currents possible at all area beaches Saturday and Sunday. High surf forecasted for the beaches of northeast SC and Brunswick county Saturday through Sunday, with breaking wave heights of six feet likely and minor beach erosion possible. * WIND: Protect against hazardous wind having possible limited impacts across coastal northeast SC and coastal Brunswick. Potential impacts in this area include: - Damage to porches, awnings, carports, sheds, and unanchored mobile homes is possible. Unsecured lightweight objects may be blown about. - Some large limbs may break from trees. A few shallow rooted or weak trees may snap or be knocked down.

Low spots along waterways and tidal creeks may also be impacted. - Some portions of near-shore roads and parking lots may become covered by surge water. Driving conditions may become hazardous in places where the surge covers the road. - Moderate beach erosion is possible, mainly in vulnerable locations along the oceanfront. - Minor damage to marinas, docks, boardwalks, and piers is possible. A few small craft may break away from moorings if not properly secured. - Navigation may be difficult near inlets and waterways, as navigational aids may be off station or missing.
