Hurricane Hermine Headed for NYC Over Labor Day Weekend

Data from the National Weather Service's Doppler radar shows that the center of Hurricane Hermine made landfall around 1:30 am along the Florida Big Bend coast just east of St. Marks, Florida,
with maximum sustained winds of near 80 mph.

NOAA predicts it will then head north:

MODERATE TO MAJOR COASTAL FLOODING IMPACTS...AS WELL AS HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WINDS...ARE POSSIBLE DEPENDING ON THE EXACT TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM.

AT THE LEAST...A HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS AS WELL AS BEACH EROSION WILL EXIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
