Hanna

This is the 8:00 a.m. 09/04/2008 update from the Hoke County Sheriff’s Office-Division of Emergency Management.

 

This is from Major Freddy Johnson, The Director of Emergency Management.

 

You are probably well aware that there have been continual changes in Hanna's forecast, and can assume that planning continues to evolve in response to her erratic and un-predictable path. Again I have attached the 5:00 am NWS update for your information. Landfall is now likely along southern NC coastline (Brunswick County) as a category 1 hurricane sometimes early Saturday morning.  With most of the severe weather and rainfall on the east side of the storm and well away from us.

 

Because of the easterly shift of Hannah this will be mostly a rain event for us.  Therefore there is no need for any cancellations at this time.  The I-95 corridor can expect about 2 inches of rain in areas.  The storm is moving rather rapidly now at about 25 to 30 mph and will have an affect mostly on our coastal counties.  Because of this if any of you own coastal county property please insure you check on your property today and implement conservation efforts. 

 

I will provide another update tomorrow morning after our 9 am conference call with State EM and the National Weather Service.
