PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Coastal Flood Advisory means that minor tidal flooding is
expected. Minor tidal flooding often results in some road
closures. Usually, the most vulnerable roadways will flood.

Do not leave your vehicle at a location that is prone to tidal
flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flood waters. The
water may be deeper than you think it is. You will be putting
yourself in danger and your vehicle may be damaged, leading to
costly repairs.

Visit the National Water Prediction Service at
https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/phi for additional water level and
flood impact information for your local tide gauge.

CoastTV Salutes - July 23, 2025

Jul 23, 2025
Jul 23, 2025 Updated Jul 23, 2025

We salute Dr. Dana Kennan, a proud U.S. Air Force veteran who served from 1954 to 1959. As a pilot, he faced high-stakes situations—from emergency flame-outs to rapid-response alerts that had him airborne within minutes. A true patriot, Dr. Kennan has always believed in the strength and purpose of this country, saying, “In this world, we all have a part to play.” His service and unwavering dedication continue to inspire. Spicer Bros. and CoastTV are honoring military persons and first responders serving Delmarva. If you have a family member, friend, or community member you'd like to nominate for a CoastTV Salute, go to CoastTVSalutes.com.
