Winter Storms On The North Shore

Red line svg

The North Shore frequently experiences seasonal storms characterized by intense rainfall and strong winds. The substantial force of these high winds has the potential to topple trees and branches, leading to power outages, road closures, and disruptions in traffic flow.

Furthermore, our local creeks and rivers exhibit a rapid response to substantial rainfall, resulting in swift and elevated water levels shortly after such weather events. This heightened flow poses additional challenges and considerations for the community’s safety and infrastructure.
