Saturday will be our 7th 100-degree day in a row, but there’s hope for a break by next weekendThis GOES-16 GeoColor satellite image taken at 4:40 p.m EDT and provided by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows Hurricane Ernesto in the Atlantic Ocean south-southwest of Bermuda, Friday, Aug. 16, 2024. was still being felt Saturday along much of the U.S.
“That whole entire region in the eastern U.S. coastline are expecting to have high seas and significant rip current threats along the coast,” Papin said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration describes rip currents as “powerful, narrow channels of fast-moving water” that move at speeds of up to 8 feet per second.
“New Yorkers should know the ocean is more powerful than you are, particularly this weekend,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement. “Do not risk your life, or the lives of first responders, by swimming while our beaches are closed.” Further south along North Carolina’s Outer Banks, the National Park Service confirmed the collapse of the house early Friday night in Rodanthe, one of several communities on Hatteras Island. No injuries were reported, the park service reported.The park service said Friday’s event marks the seventh such house collapse over the past four years along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, a 70-mile stretch of shoreline from Bodie Island to Ocracoke Island that's managed by the federal government.
