אסונות · Southern HarrisonSouthern Harrison Faces 3–5-Foot Surge as Isaias Strengthensנכתב 9 באוקטובר 2026 בשעה 11:36 UTCצפייהתמליל0:09On October 8th, we reported Coastal Watches, Southern Harrison now faces a warning0:13of life-threatening surge.0:15Water could rise three to five feet over normally dry ground in vulnerable coastal0:19areas.0:20The danger reaches communities where the local sustained wind forecast is much lower0:24than hurricane strength.0:25What does this warning mean for people who need shelter or transportation before0:29conditions worsen?0:30The warning forecasts three to five feet of inundation somewhere within surge-prone0:34areas.0:35That means water over ground that's normally dry.0:37The range describes a possible peak, and the threat continues through Saturday0:41morning, October 10th.0:42Gulfport, Biloxi, Pass Christian, and Long Beach are the communities named in the0:46warning.0:47The forecast applies to vulnerable coastal areas within southern Harrison.0:51Water depths will depend on location, so this range can't predict flooding at an0:54individual address.0:55The National Weather Service issued the updated warning Thursday night, with0:59immediate urgency.1:00Several feet of water over dry land is the life safety danger.1:04The forecast doesn't mean those depths have already occurred.1:07Local wind speeds describe a separate part of the storm's threat.1:10The latest local forecast gives winds of 20 to 30 miles an hour with gusts of 45.1:15The separate potential wind threat is 39 to 57 miles an hour.1:19That broader range accounts for uncertainty in the storm's track, size, and1:22intensity.1:23The lower sustained wind forecast still comes with stronger gusts, and coastal1:27flooding can threaten people even where hurricane force winds aren't forecast at1:31their homes.1:31An eastward shift in the expected landfall corridor doesn't remove Southern1:35Harrison's surge danger.1:36Isaiah strengthened from Category 1 to Category 2 Thursday.1:40Its maximum sustained winds reached 105 miles an hour.1:43The stronger status supersedes the earlier Category 1 update.1:47A Thursday position placed the storm about 260 miles south of the Mississippi River1:51mouth.1:52It was moving northeast at 14 miles an hour.1:55Those are dated storm measurements.1:56They describe Isaiah's offshore, while Southern Harrison has its own local forecast.2:01The forecast corridor narrowed toward Alabama or the Florida panhandle.2:06With landfall expected late Friday or early Saturday.2:09An earlier description placed landfall near a Florida-Mississippi border.2:13Alabama lies between those states, so that description gave viewers an incorrect2:18geographic reference.2:19Forecasters considered Category 2 strength near landfall, with possible further2:23strengthening to category 3.2:25The exact crossing point, arrival hour, and landfall strength are still uncertain.2:29Forecasts putting arrival after 7 Friday evening into early Saturday remain possible2:34scenarios.2:35Hurricane Center Director Michael Brennan urged anyone ordered to evacuate to leave2:39promptly.2:40He warned that hazardous impacts could extend along the northern Gulf Coast beyond2:44the center's crossing point.2:46People shouldn't assume they have the whole following day to leave.2:49Surge and heavy rain could combine to cause significant flooding.2:52Damaging winds could bring outages lasting several days, including inland.2:55People ordered away could also face several days before returning.2:59Those are potential consequences as the coast prepares for the storm.3:02Gulfport Mayor Hugh D.3:03Keating issued an emergency proclamation on October 7th.3:07Harrison County was also under a state of emergency, and residents were filling3:11sandbags.3:12Those actions support preparations while residents watch for instructions that apply3:16to their own neighborhoods.3:17Follow current local evacuation instructions for your address.3:21Orders elsewhere along the coast apply to the areas they name.3:24A specific evacuation directive covering these four Harrison communities hasn't been3:28confirmed here, so residents need to check with local emergency officials.3:31The County Farm Road Shelter in Gulfport was scheduled to open at 10 Friday morning3:35and close at noon Saturday.3:37Confirm that it's operating before traveling.3:40Harrison County selects shelters for each situation and announces which buildings3:44will open.3:45The shelter and transit schedules don't explicitly specify a time zone, so confirm3:49their operating hours directly.3:50A building on the county's standing shelter list still needs an announcement3:54activating it for this storm.3:55Transportation arrangements also need confirmation before someone relies on a ride.3:59Coast Transit Authority's Hurricane Evacuation Forum provides a contact for4:03questions and registration confirmation.4:05It requires applicants to complete all information and be ready at the evacuation4:10start time set by Harrison County Emergency Management.4:12Registrants should monitor local announcements for that time.4:15The event's pickup time hasn't been confirmed.4:18Contact the authority to confirm registration and pickup arrangements before relying4:22on transportation.4:23Completing the form alone doesn't guarantee a seat or a ride to the county farm road4:27shelter.4:27All Coast Transit Authority fixed routes are scheduled to end at 2:15 Friday4:31afternoon.4:32There is no express route service Friday.4:34Offices, beach stations, and transit centers are scheduled to close at 3.4:38Separately arranged evacuation transportation requires its own arrangements.4:42Mississippi Sound also falls within a marine hurricane warning.4:46Alongside Brayton Sound, Chandelier Sound and specified coastal waters east of the4:50Mississippi River, the marine forecast gives northeast winds of 25 to 35 knots, with4:55gusts up to 55 knots.4:57Forecast seas reach 17 to 22 feet in those warmed waters.5:01Those heights describe marine conditions.5:03Dangerous winds and seas could capsize or damage vessels and sharply reduce5:06visibility.5:07The Weather Service advises mariners to remain in port, alter course, or secure5:11their vessels.5:12The Southern Harrison warning lists an expiration of 6.15 Friday morning, but its5:17surge concern continues through Saturday morning.5:19The Marine warning lists a later expiration.5:22Tropical storm force winds over those waters are possible Friday morning through5:26Friday afternoon.5:27The next official warning status is still unresolved.5:29A listed product expiration doesn't tell residents that conditions are safe.5:33Southern Harrison's warning identifies a potential 3 to 5 foot flooding threat,5:37while shelter access and evacuation rides require direct confirmation.5:41The forecast surge concern extends through Saturday morning, October 10th.קריאת הכתבהציר הזמן של הסיפורHeyDexהסרטון הקצר ↗מי דיווח על מהנקודות שדיווח עליהן יותר מכלי תקשורת אחד✓Storm-surge forecasts along the coastאושר באופן עצמאי · 11 כלי תקשורת✓Isaias’s Category 3
