Description
Synopsis: Strong gusty winds, due to the tightening pressure gradient caused by the passage of Major Hurricane Beryl, are forecast. The direct wind threat level is generally minimal to life, livelihood, property and infrastructure; notwithstanding, these winds could make some outdoor activities uncomfortable, if not outright dangerous. Gale-force wind gusts are expected that can affect your balance; it's advisable to avoid exposed elevated areas or getting too close to precarious positions like cliff edges, given the forecast conditions. High winds could create dangerous falling or blowing objects. A high wind advisory means strong sustained winds in the range of 40 to 48 km/h (25 to 31 mph, 22 to 27 knots) with higher gusts imminent or occurring.
Potential impacts: Includes injuries; very hazardous seas; soil erosion; localized disruptions of some businesses; disruptions to outdoor and sporting activities; disruptions of transportation (air and especially sea); vehicular accidents and financial losses.
Instructions
Residents should secure loose, light outdoor items, which can be blown away, and caution should be taken when driving. Further, avoid exposed elevated places.
