FEMA: ‘If You’re in the Low-Lying Area, Even If You’re Miles from the Coast, Get Out Now’

EXCERPT:

KANIEWSKI: "What we are worried about is the wind and the water. The wind is hurricane-force winds, very damaging. The water can be deadly. We have the storm surge, as you mentioned, up to 13 feet in some areas, that could come across the land, that you are not going to be able to outrun, by the way, and is the number one contributor to fatalities during the hurricane. In addition, we have inland flooding here, which means after the storm passes across the coastline, we are going to have flooding for miles inland. So if you’re in the low-lying area, even if you’re miles from the coast, get out now."
