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.
