While Hurricane Erin is not directly affecting the Southeast, the East Coast is being hit by high waves and heavy surf generated by Erin’s winds. This is leading to dangerous rip currents along the coast that have led to many rescues along Carolina beaches already, far ahead of the storm’s strongest effects. NOAA has a new set of beach safety videos that may be useful to educate your kids and citizens in coastal areas so they know how to stay safe when the surf is high.
