Imelda’s Biggest U.S. Threats: Flooding and Rough Surf
• Hurricane Imelda will generate dangerous surf and rip currents from Florida to the Northeast, requiring beachgoers to exercise extreme caution.
• Minor coastal flooding is possible in low-lying areas due to the combination of high tides and storm surge.
• Localized heavy rain and flash flooding are possible in the Carolinas, urging drivers to avoid flooded roads.
Imelda to bypass US coast, impacts felt
Hurricane Imelda is set to bypass the U.S. coast this week, but its impact will still be felt along the eastern seaboard. Steered eastward by high pressure systems and the presence of Hurricane Humberto, Imelda will remain offshore. However, this doesn't mean coastal residents are in the clear.
