*”HAZARDOUS WIND ALERT!” STATEMENT FOR CHARLOTTE N.C. AND SURROUNDING AREAS!”*

“A HAZARDOUS HIGH WIND EVENT!” IS EXPECTED TO EFFECT THE CHARLOTTE AREA AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES AS I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT VERY WINDY CONDITIONS IN THESE AREAS, WHICH ARE GOING TO ALSO OCCUR IN THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES AS “DEEP HIGH PRESSURE!” BUILDS INTO THE EASTERN PART OF THE COUNTRY.  “HIGH WIND WARNINGS!” HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR OUR AREA AND PEOPLE IN THE WARNED AREA SHOULD PREPARE FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TREE AND POWERLINE DAMAGES, AS WINDS AS HIGH AS 50-55 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 60 MPH, WILL AFFECT OUR REGION, ON INTO YOUR WEDNESDAY.  ’WINDS THIS HIGH WILL BEGIN TO KNOCK OVER TREES AND POWERLINES BECAUSE OF WET SOILS LOOSENING THE GROUND BELOW THE TREES AND POWERLINES FROM RECENT STORMS.  BE ESPECIALLY CAREFULL WHEN TRAVELING AS TREES AND POWERLINES WILL FALL, RESULTING IN INJURIES OR FATALITIES!  DO NOT TRAVEL AS MUCH BECAUSE OF THESE DANGEROUS WINDY CONDITIONS AS THE HIGH WINDS WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES, UNLESS IT IS NECESSARY.  AS THE HIGH WINDS SURGE INTO THE WARNED AREA, STAY AWAY FROM DOORS AND WINDOWS, AS THEY OFFER NO PROTECTION FROM DEBRIS, WHICH COULD CAUSE MAJOR INJURIES.  DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH CAN CAUSE MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, DUE TO FALLING TREES AND POWERLINES.  STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO ROOFS AND BUILDINGS CAN ALSO RESULT FROM THE FORCE OF THESE STRONG WINDS.  STAY OFF OF AREA LAKES AND WATERS, AS BOATS ON AREA LAKES WILL BE CAPSIZED IN WINDS OF THE MAGNITUDE!  REMEMBER, “A HIGH WIND WARNING!” MEANS THAT ”A HAZARDOUS WIND EVENT IS EXPECTED OR OCCURING FOR THE WARNED AREAS.  TAKE EXTREME CAUTION AND BE ABLE TO REACT SHOULD HIGH WINDS AFFECT YOUR AREA.
