Catástrofes · Storm surgeLower Plaquemines faces 3–5-foot surge; warning expiration is unresolvedEscrito 9 de outubro de 2026 às 13:02 UTCVerTranscrição0:09On October 9th, we reported regional surge warnings.0:12Now lower plaque mines faces a three to five foot surge forecast.0:16Water moving inland could threaten lives in Port Sulphur, Empire, and Venice.0:21The concern extends through Saturday morning.0:23The immediate question is what protection is in place and when residents can safely0:27consider the danger over.0:28The forecast puts three to five feet of water over normally dry grounds somewhere in0:32surge-prone areas.0:33The warning says flooding above three feet could threaten life.0:37That depth is measured from the ground beneath the water.0:39The forecast doesn't put the same depth at every home or business.0:43Conditions can vary within the warned area.0:46The danger comes from water pushed inland from the shoreline, reaching land that's0:50ordinarily dry.0:51Port Sulphur, Empire, and Venice are all named in the warning.0:54A separate voluntary evacuation covers businesses along Tidewater Road in Venice.0:59That action has a narrower reach than the surge warning covering lower plaque mines.1:03The National Weather Service Office in New Orleans issued the morning warning on1:07Friday, October 9th at 4.12 a.m.1:09Central Time.1:10Its forecast reaches through Saturday morning, October 10th.1:13That's the period of concern residents need to keep in mind, even though the1:17warning's expiration time is disputed.1:19Local gusts could reach 65 miles an hour.1:22The forecast also calls for peak local winds of 25 to 35 miles an hour.1:27Those figures describe expected conditions in this area, and the surge brings its1:31own danger.1:32The wind figures are forecasts.1:34Actual conditions still have to be measured as the storm reaches the area.1:38Residents shouldn't use the local wind forecast to judge how much water could move1:42inland.1:42The warning identifies a potentially life-threatening water hazard on its own.1:46Parish President Keith Hinkley issued a voluntary evacuation for businesses along1:50Tidewater Road in Venice.1:52It took effect Thursday, October 8th.1:54At 4 p.m.1:55The action addressed potential three to five foot surge associated with Isaiahs and1:59possible effects on travel.2:01Officials were concerned about roadway conditions Thursday night and Friday.2:05Businesses in that area were given a voluntary evacuation instruction.2:09Its scope covers those businesses.2:10It doesn't require every lower plaque mines resident to leave.2:14Possible roadway problems also don't mean Tidewater Road has closed.2:17Lower Plaque Mines had warnings Thursday too.2:20One was issued at 4.13 p.m.2:22with a listed expiration of 12.15 a.m.2:24Friday.2:25Another followed at 10.01 p.m.2:27with a listed expiration of 6.15 a.m.2:29Friday.2:29A broader tropical cyclone local statement also covered lower plaque mines and other2:34areas.2:34It began at 10.13 p.m.2:36Thursday and ended at 6.15 a.m.2:38Friday.2:39That statement covered several areas together.2:41Its ending time doesn't tell residents whether officials replace the individual2:45morning surge warning.2:46The morning warning has two conflicting expiration times, 12.15 p.m.2:50and 5.15 p.m.2:52Central Time.2:52They're five hours apart.2:54The exact expiration and any replacement or cancellations still need clarification,2:58especially as the earlier time approaches.3:01Both times fall before Saturday morning when the forecast concern ends.3:05A warnings clock can't tell residents whether dangerous water has receded.3:09Safety depends on conditions and official instructions.3:12Follow evacuation orders and emergency management advice and don't enter floodwaters3:16on foot or in a vehicle.Ler o artigoCronologia da históriaHeyDexO vídeo curto ↗
