## extract

Beach Hazards Statement — East Carteret
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, dangerous rip
currents, large breaking waves expected, and strong longshore
currents in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up
to one half foot of inundation above ground level expected in
low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways.

* WHERE...East Carteret County.

* WHEN...For the Beach Hazards Statement, from Wednesday morning
through Wednesday evening. For the Coastal Flood Advisory,
from 2 PM Wednesday to 11 AM EDT Friday.

* IMPACTS...Up to 1 to 2 feet of inundation above ground level is
possible in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways
resulting in a low threat of property damage along the Neuse
River. Some roads and low lying property including parking
lots, parks, lawns, and homes adjacent to the waterfront will
experience shallow flooding. Rip currents can sweep even the
best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore
break can throw a swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom
causing neck and back injuries. Strong longshore currents will
create dangerous swimming conditions.
