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

flood impact information for your local tide gauge.

We Salute John Simpson, a dedicated father and grandfather, for his years of honorable service to both the State of Delaware and the United States. Serving through periods of peace, conflict, and war, John was honorably discharged in April 1968, leaving a legacy of commitment and courage. His service to the nation and his steadfast presence in his family are deeply valued. We salute John Simpson for his distinguished contributions and the exemplary life he has led. 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.
