Annapolis offers sandbags to prepare for flooding

As forecasters caution that a powerful storm in the Atlantic could become a tropical system, the city of Annapolis is offering sandbags to prepare for the possibility of flooding in the low-lying City Dock area. The forecast warns of minor coastal flooding today and tomorrow in Annapolis, with wind gusts tonight up to 47 mph. Annapolis Department of Public Works says a trailer with sandbags will be across from the Starbucks at City Dock. It is expected to remain there until sometime tomorrow.
