of minor flooding of low lying areas, with little or no property damage.
Some flood prone-roads may be closed for a few hours. Expect inland flooding
impacts similar to those experienced from Hurricane Irene in 1999. |

Prepare
for the likelihood of moderate flooding and flash flooding, resulting in
some road closures. Some low lying structures may be flooded. Flood prone
roads closed for several days. Expect inland flooding impacts similar to
those experienced from Hurricane Ernesto in 2006. |

likelihood of widespread flooding and flash flooding. Extensive damage
to buildings and some transportation systems from high water and debris
is likely. Many road closures for short period of time. Some flood prone
roads closed for several weeks. Expect inland flooding impacts similar
to those experienced from Hurricane Gaston in 2004. |
