the advice given in Hurricane Local Statements of taking interior shelter in elevated floors for storm surge-prone areas. NOAA/NWS recommendations called for the development of an extreme wind warning independent from tornado warnings and increased outreach for the warning. The following year, extreme wind warnings continued to be packaged within special tornado warnings for public evaluation, and the warning became its own official independent product by the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, though no hurricane would trigger an extreme wind warning for nearly another decade. Despite the newly independent warning system, until the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season, the Emergency Alert System continued to broadcast EWWs as tornado warnings (using the TOR event code). On the morning of October 7, 2016, the nearby passage of Category 3 Hurricane Matthew just off of Cape Canaveral prompted the first issuance of an extreme wind warning. The extreme wind warning should not be confused with tornado warnings, which covers rotating supercells from severe storms, and high wind warnings, which is similar, but used for non-severe/tornadic winds of 40 mph to 114 mph, mainly on land (particularly the Great Plains and West Coast regions) Issuances See also Severe weather terminology (United States) References Weather warnings and advisories
