          afternoon
        - Window for Hurricane force winds: early Friday morning 
          until early Friday morning

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: High
        - Remain braced against the reasonable threat for hurricane 
          force wind of 74 to 110 mph of equivalent Category 1 to 2 
          intensity.
        - To be safe, efforts should fully focus on protecting life. 
          Properties remain subject to extensive wind impacts.
        - Now is the time to urgently hide from the wind. Failure to 
          adequately shelter may result in serious injury or loss of 
          life. Remain sheltered until the hazardous wind subsides.

    - Potential Impacts: Still Unfolding
        - Potential impacts from the main wind event are still 
          unfolding.
        - The extent of realized impacts will depend on the actual 
          strength, duration, and exposure of the wind as experienced 
          at particular locations.

* Storm Surge
    - Latest local forecast: Life-threatening storm surge possible
        - Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for 4-6 feet 
          above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
        - Window of concern: through Saturday morning

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
        - Emergency considerations should posture for a reasonable 
          threat for dangerous storm surge flooding of greater than 3 
          feet above ground.
        - To be safe, evacuees should be located within prescribed 
          shelters and well away from storm surge flooding capable of 
          significant impacts.
        - Life threatening inundation is possible. Those who failed 
          to heed evacuation orders risk serious injury or loss of 
          life.

    - Potential Impacts: Still Unfolding
        - Potential impacts from the main surge event are still 
          unfolding.
        - The extent of realized impacts will depend on the actual 
          height of storm surge moving onshore and the resulting 
          depth of coastal flooding as experienced at particular 
          locations.

* Flooding Rain
    - Latest Local Forecast: 
        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 4-8 inches, with locally 
          higher amounts

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: Elevated
        - Emergency considerations should include a threat of 
          flooding.
        - Be safe and remain ready to protect against flooding rain 
          impacts.
        - If flood related watches and warnings are in effect, heed 
          recommended actions.

    - Potential Impacts: Limited
        - Localized rainfall flooding may prompt a few evacuations.
        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly rise with swifter 
          currents. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, and 
          ditches may become swollen and overflow in spots.
        - Flood waters can enter a few structures, especially in 
          usually vulnerable spots. A few places where rapid ponding 
          of water occurs at underpasses, low-lying spots, and poor 
          drainage areas. Several storm drains and retention ponds 
          become near-full and begin to overflow. Some brief road and 
          bridge closures. 

* Tornado
    - Latest Local Forecast: 
        - Situation is favorable for tornadoes

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
        - Emergency considerations should include a reasonable threat 
          for tornadoes.
        - Be safe and remain ready to protect against tornado 
          impacts. Stay informed.
        - Listen for tornado watches and warnings. If a tornado 
          approaches, quickly move to the safest place within your 
          shelter.

    - Potential Impacts: Significant
        - The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the 
          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
        - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few 
          spots of considerable damage, power loss, and 
          communications failures.
        - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile 
          homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped 
          or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed 
          about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

          impacts.
        - If flood related watches and warnings are in effect, heed 
          recommended actions.

    - Potential Impacts: Extensive
        - Major rainfall flooding may prompt many evacuations and 
          rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may rapidly overflow their banks in 
          multiple places. Small streams, creeks, canals, arroyos, 
          and ditches may become dangerous rivers. In mountain areas, 
          destructive runoff may run quickly down valleys while 
          increasing susceptibility to rockslides and mudslides. 
          Flood control systems and barriers may become stressed.
        - Flood waters can enter many structures within multiple 
          communities, some structures becoming uninhabitable or 
          washed away. Many places where flood waters may cover 
          escape routes. Streets and parking lots become rivers of 
          moving water with underpasses submerged. Driving conditions 
          become dangerous. Many road and bridge closures with some 
          weakened or washed out.

* Tornado
    - Latest Local Forecast: 
        - Situation is favorable for tornadoes

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
        - Emergency considerations should include a reasonable threat 
          for tornadoes.
        - Be safe and remain ready to protect against tornado 
          impacts. Stay informed.
        - Listen for tornado watches and warnings. If a tornado 
          approaches, quickly move to the safest place within your 
          shelter.

    - Potential Impacts: Significant
        - The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the 
          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
        - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few 
          spots of considerable damage, power loss, and 
          communications failures.
        - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile 
          homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped 
          or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed 
          about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

        - Remain braced against the reasonable threat for hurricane 
          force wind of 74 to 110 mph of equivalent Category 1 to 2 
          intensity.
        - To be safe, efforts should fully focus on protecting life. 
          Properties remain subject to extensive wind impacts.
        - Now is the time to urgently hide from the wind. Failure to 
          adequately shelter may result in serious injury or loss of 
          life. Remain sheltered until the hazardous wind subsides.

    - Potential Impacts: Still Unfolding
        - Potential impacts from the main wind event are still 
          unfolding.
        - The extent of realized impacts will depend on the actual 
          strength, duration, and exposure of the wind as experienced 
          at particular locations.

* Locations Affected
    - Columbia

* Wind
    - Latest Local Forecast: Equivalent Cat 1 Hurricane force wind
        - Peak Wind Forecast: 60-80 mph with gusts to 95 mph
        - Window for Tropical Storm force winds: until Friday 
          afternoon
        - Window for Hurricane force winds: early Friday morning 
          until early Friday morning

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: High
        - Remain braced against the reasonable threat for hurricane 
          force wind of 74 to 110 mph of equivalent Category 1 to 2 
          intensity.
        - To be safe, efforts should fully focus on protecting life. 
          Properties remain subject to extensive wind impacts.
        - Now is the time to urgently hide from the wind. Failure to 
          adequately shelter may result in serious injury or loss of 
          life. Remain sheltered until the hazardous wind subsides.

    - Potential Impacts: Still Unfolding
        - Potential impacts from the main wind event are still 
          unfolding.
        - The extent of realized impacts will depend on the actual 
          strength, duration, and exposure of the wind as experienced 
          at particular locations.

* Storm Surge
    - Latest local forecast: Localized storm surge possible
        - Peak Storm Surge Inundation: The potential for up to 2 feet 
          above ground somewhere within surge prone areas
        - Window of concern: through Saturday morning

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: Elevated
        - Emergency considerations should posture for a reasonable 
          threat for peak storm surge flooding of greater than 1 foot 
          above ground.
        - To be safe, stay away from storm surge flooding capable of 
          limited impacts.
        - Localized inundation is possible. Continue to follow the 
          instructions of local officials.

    - Potential Impacts: Still Unfolding
        - Potential impacts from the main surge event are still 
          unfolding.
        - The extent of realized impacts will depend on the actual 
          height of storm surge moving onshore and the resulting 
          depth of coastal flooding as experienced at particular 
          locations.

* Flooding Rain
    - Latest Local Forecast: 
        - Peak Rainfall Amounts: Additional 4-8 inches, with locally 
          higher amounts

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
        - Emergency considerations should include a threat of 
          flooding.
        - Be safe and remain ready to protect against flooding rain 
          impacts.
        - If flood related watches and warnings are in effect, heed 
          recommended actions.

    - Potential Impacts: Significant
        - Moderate rainfall flooding may prompt several evacuations 
          and rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with 
          swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places, 
          especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, 
          creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches overflow.
        - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken 
          foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas 
          of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and 
          poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on 
          moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. 
          Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge 
          closures.

* Tornado
    - Latest Local Forecast: 
        - Situation is favorable for tornadoes

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: Moderate
        - Emergency considerations should include a reasonable threat 
          for tornadoes.
        - Be safe and remain ready to protect against tornado 
          impacts. Stay informed.
        - Listen for tornado watches and warnings. If a tornado 
          approaches, quickly move to the safest place within your 
          shelter.

    - Potential Impacts: Significant
        - The occurrence of scattered tornadoes can hinder the 
          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
        - Several places may experience tornado damage with a few 
          spots of considerable damage, power loss, and 
          communications failures.
        - Locations could realize roofs torn off frame houses, mobile 
          homes demolished, boxcars overturned, large trees snapped 
          or uprooted, vehicles tumbled, and small boats tossed 
          about. Dangerous projectiles can add to the toll.

          and rescues.
        - Rivers and tributaries may quickly become swollen with 
          swifter currents and overspill their banks in a few places, 
          especially in usually vulnerable spots. Small streams, 
          creeks, canals, arroyos, and ditches overflow.
        - Flood waters can enter some structures or weaken 
          foundations. Several places may experience expanded areas 
          of rapid inundation at underpasses, low-lying spots, and 
          poor drainage areas. Some streets and parking lots take on 
          moving water as storm drains and retention ponds overflow. 
          Driving conditions become hazardous. Some road and bridge 
          closures.

* Tornado
    - Latest Local Forecast: 
        - Situation is somewhat favorable for tornadoes

    - Current Threat to Life and Property: Elevated
        - Emergency considerations should include a reasonable threat 
          for tornadoes.
        - Be safe and remain ready to protect against tornado 
          impacts. Stay informed.
        - Listen for tornado watches and warnings. If a tornado 
          approaches, quickly move to the safest place within your 
          shelter.

    - Potential Impacts: Limited
        - The occurrence of isolated tornadoes can hinder the 
          execution of emergency plans during tropical events.
        - A few places may experience tornado damage, along with 
          power and communications disruptions.
        - Locations could realize roofs peeled off buildings, 
          chimneys toppled, mobile homes pushed off foundations or 
          overturned, large tree tops and branches snapped off, 
          shallow-rooted trees knocked over, moving vehicles blown 
          off roads, and small boats pulled from moorings.
