Residents are asked to avoid travel and use caution while traveling on Route 254 approaching Cobb Island this weekend.
The National Weather Service, Sterling Office has issued a coastal flood watch for Charles County on Sept. 23 from Saturday morning through Saturday evening. Weather models indicate that tidal Potomac areas could see up to five feet of high tides due to the approaching tropical system. Coastal waters could cover the roads to the Cobb Island bridge and will be at its highest levels during high tides.
High tide at Cobb Island is expected to occur at 9:20 a.m. and again at 9:37 p.m. on Saturday September 23. For local businesses selling sandbags and sand, visit www.CharlesCountymd.gov/services/emergency-services/emergency-preparedness/sandbags.
Remember these basic safety tips:
- Turn Around, Don’t Drown! ®
- Avoid walking or driving through flood waters.
- Just six inches of moving water can knock you down, and two feet of water can sweep your vehicle away.
- If floodwater rises around your car but the water is not moving, abandon the car and move to higher ground. Do not leave the car and enter moving water.
