The primary risk is flooding caused by prolonged northeast winds, which can trap water in the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding inlets. High tides over the next few days are expected to exacerbate the situation, potentially leading to significant water accumulation in low-lying areas. Residents are also concerned about damage from vehicle wakes in flooded streets, which have previously caused structural damage to properties, such as garage doors. The city is taking measures to assist residents in minimizing these risks.
