How Does A Severe Wind Warning Impact Me?
Severe Wind Warnings can cause injury, property damage, and/or make it difficult to operate a vehicle or machinery.
It is important to secure loose items, such as patio/deck chair, garbage cans, etc. in order to prevent them from becoming potentially dangerous flying objects.
