With the remnants of Hurricane Debby headed for North Carolina, the time to prepare is now. At the time of publishing, the strongest risk lies in floolding potential from central NC to the east, with southeastern NC at highest risk from this slow moving storm.
It is important to stay alert and pay close attention to local media and the National Hurricane Center for regular updates. Keep in mind that damage from hurricanes, particularly slow moving storms, lies not only along the coast but inland where heavy rains and saturated soild make flash flooding a very real possibility. Wind and power outages pose additional risks even far from the shore.
NC State Extension has several resources on this site to help you prepare for a storm. Do your part and prepare now.
