From Cape Lookout to Duck, North Carolina, from 2 to 4 feet of flooding of cyclonic swells is possible along the coast, according to the Hurricane Center. In addition, 1 to 2 inches of rain could hit the Outer Banks on Wednesday and Thursday.
“The climatic conditions are expected to deteriorate along the North Carolina coast for tonight,” said the Hurricane Center. “Beach lovers are warned against swimming in most beaches on the east coast of the United States due to the brim currents that threaten life.”
North Carolina’s video shows the big waves rolling on land, flooded roads and houses in front of the beach.
The waves caused by the hurricane will affect the Bahamas, the Bermuda and the east coast of the United States during the next few days, with rough oceans that are expected to produce surfing and potentially mortal slippers, the hurricane center said.
The National Meteorological Service in Jacksonville, Florida, also warned of dangerous surf conditions and tides of tangaduras on Wednesday.
“The dangerous marine and surf conditions worsen today as the waves and winds increase. Mortal sink currents, high surfings and lower flood floods around the high tide tonight on the coast,” said the NWS in X. “Stay out of the ocean!”
Other states this week have similarly broadcast warnings to stay out of the ocean, even in New Jersey and New York, since Beaches in North Carolina has already reported several Current Rescues from RIP on Tuesday.
“We are hyper, hyper worried, first about the complacency, particularly when the weather is really good from Thursday afternoon to Sunday, in terms that people think of the water because these tear currents are brutal,” said New Jersey governor, Phil Murphy, at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon. “Please, don’t enter the water.”
New York Governor Kathy Hochul, prohibited swimming on Long Island beaches due to the waves expected in the area. Swimming on the beaches of New York City is also prohibited on Wednesday and Thursday.
Costas cities such as Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and Wildwood, New Jersey, have issued notes without burrows for the week.
