Hurricane Michael
If you live in a hurricane-prone area, one of the most important things to do is to stay indoors. Don’t pile up any debris outside – it can be a missile during a hurricane. Instead, take a shower and then fill your bathtub. This way, you’ll have fresh water for your toilets as well. Also, bring a battery-operated portable radio. And finally, stay away from windows and glass panel doors. While hurricane Michael is still on land, avoid going outside and stay inside. If your home is destroyed, you might have to move to a shelter, or a neighbor’s house, but you should still be safe.
The National Hurricane Center is located on the campus of Florida International University in Miami. Despite this fact, the National Hurricane Center has urged customers to prepare for hurricanes like Hurricane Michael. Restoration crews are already mobilized and ready to respond to Hurricane Michael in the best way possible. To prepare for a hurricane, note where power lines run, and make sure to clear your yard of any trees or other debris. By doing this, you can quickly identify damaged lines and get repairs done quickly.
Storm surge greater than 18 ft (5.5 m) above normal
To determine whether a storm will generate a storm surge, experts look at several factors. These include the central pressure anomaly, maximum surface winds, forward speed, and direction of movement. Random chance is another factor that contributes to the storm surge. While hurricanes usually bring flooding, it is impossible to predict the exact extent of a storm’s impact on a coastal community.
The storm surge caused by a hurricane is the greatest threat to life. It can flood entire riverside communities miles inland and destroy the levees and dunes that protect coastal areas. The surge begins as a drop in atmospheric pressure, which leads to a rise in water levels. It is a short-term change in sea level, and its height is dependent on the size and strength of the hurricane.
