Please see the latest News Release on Local Impacts of Hurricane Erin. tinyurl.com/HENewsRel #SurfCityNC #HurricaneErin #LocalImpacts

When a hurricane stays out at sea, it can still bring dangerous rip currents, high surf, coastal flooding, and beach erosion to the coast. Rip currents are powerful, unpredictable, and can sweep even the strongest swimmers out to sea in seconds. Stay safe, stay ashore.

Surf City beaches are currently under red flag warning. We strongly encourage everyone to avoid entering the water during these conditions. Please stay safe and enjoy the beach from the shore when red flags are up. Your caution could save a life. #RedFlagWarning #BeachSafety

🌧️ Water accounts for ~90% of deaths from Atlantic tropical cyclones. Inland flooding is the most deadly and serious threat that hurricanes bring to the inland Carolinas. The amount of rain a tropical storm produces is NOT related to its category. Turn around, don't drown!

Do you know what to do when a storm threatens? Prepare for hurricane season by taking the time now to understand the actions needed when time is of the essence. #ncwx #scwx #ILMwx #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong noaa.gov/get-moving-whe…

🌪️ Any tropical system is capable of producing tornadoes! Tropical tornadoes are often short lived, but they can produce enhanced areas of damage. Sometimes, these tornadoes can occur in the outer rain bands well ahead of the center of the storm. #ncwx #scwx #ILMwx #HurricanePrep

Be prepared for hurricane season by knowing what to do during a storm. Whether you’ve evacuated or are sheltering in place, know what to expect from the hazards you may face. #ncwx #scwx #ILMwx #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong noaa.gov/stay-protected…

🌬️ Tropical-storm-force winds, 39-73 mph, are strong enough to be dangerous to those outside. For this reason, evacuations are planned before the onset of tropical-storm-force winds. Hurricane-force winds, 74 mph or more, can destroy buildings and mobile homes. #ncwx #scwx #ILMwx

Prepare for hurricane season by knowing how to understand forecasts. They can tell you a lot about what is expected, including the storm's path, rainfall amounts, wind speeds, and more. #ncwx #scwx #ILMwx #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong noaa.gov/understand-for…
