What is a hurricane warning?
A hurricane warning is issued for coastal and inland areas expected to see sustained winds of at least 74 mph, typically 36 hours before tropical-storm-force winds arrive so that preparations can be finished safely. Storm surge, inland flooding and tornadoes often cause more deaths than the wind itself.
What to do
- Follow evacuation orders immediately.
- Finish securing your home before tropical-storm-force winds begin.
- Know your evacuation zone and where you will go.
