CENTREVILLE, Md. (AP) — Officials in Queen Anne’s County say residents who live in flood-prone or low-lying areas should consider evacuating.

There’s no mandatory evacuation order, but the county says some residents should think about a voluntary evacuation.

Those choosing to ride out the storm at home are urged to stock up on fresh water, food, medications and batteries.
