🌬️ 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

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

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.
