Even though the forecast is not as severe, significant wind and wind gusts are expected.
The ground is saturated from the rains of the last two weeks so wind damage risks are increased. If trees start to fall the risk of power outages would increase so now is a good time to plan.
Have a plan, make an emergency kit and be prepared for unplanned impacts to your daily activities.
