As a rule, hurricane warning signals may be ordered displayed at points along U. S. shores of the Great Lakes only on very rare occasions. For example, in the event a hurricane moves inland over the U. S. Gulf or Atlantic coast states and con- tinues with marked intensity as it approaches or passes near the Lake Region, hurricane warnings may be ordered displayed along the lakes to be affected. Hurricane warning signals may also be ordered displayed on occasions during fall, winter, or early spring months when severe storms other than those of tropical origin are expected to affect the lakes. In such cases, warning messages issued for press and radio broadcast distribution will specify that the storm is not a hurricane, but winds of 64 knots and above are expected. NOTE: The above warning display signals are supplementary to, and can not replace the Small Craft, Gale, Whole Gale and Hurri- cane Warning messages issued for broadcast. Important details as to time, intensity, duration, direction of movement of the storm needed for navigation purposes are included in warning messages and lake forecasts broadcast by radio stations.
