CONDITIONS IMPROVING ACROSS COASTAL MISSISSIPPI
CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
STORM INFORMATION:
Hurricane Sally made landfall early this morning across the Alabama
coast, and will continue to move inland across the western Florida
panhandle and southeast Alabama through tonight. Conditions will
continue to improve across coastal Mississippi today, however hazardous
conditions for small craft will persist offshore in the sounds and
coastal waters. Some coastal flooding is expected to continue across
the shorelines and tidal basin areas of Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain
and Lake Maurepas, with gradual improvement expected through the day.
SURGE:
Little or no impacts are anticipated at this time across Southeast
Louisiana and South Mississippi.
WIND:
Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across Southeast
Louisiana and South Mississippi.
Do not enter evacuated areas until officials have given the all clear
to return.
When going outside be sure to stay away from downed power lines,
hazardous debris and flooded areas.
If your home or shelter was damaged, be alert to the smell of gas
leaks and be cautious around electrical wiring, broken glass, jagged
metal and wood, and protruding nails and screws.
Check to see if everyone in your group is OK. Administer first aid to
those who are injured. If possible, call 9 1 1 for any serious
injuries. Remember, it may be difficult for emergency responders to
arrive quickly.
Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your
location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do
not tie up communications systems.
Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their
points of contact.
Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers
interfere with the emergency work of first responders.
When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed
lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other
leaking flammables.
Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe.
Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can
blow you off the roof.
When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes.
Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance.
Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can
be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure
about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience
do the job. Never cut trees without a partner.
If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following
instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in
a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from
open doors and windows.
Be alert for any lingering wind gusts which could take down weakened
trees and/or power lines, collapse damaged structures, or cause flying
debris.
As it pertains to this event...this will be the last local statement
issued by the National Weather Service in New Orleans LA regarding
the effects of tropical cyclone hazards upon the area.
