Hermine’s East Coast Journey
New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio closed city beaches Sunday and said that could extend to Labor Day or Tuesday.

Eric Blake, a hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, echoed Manzo’s immediate concerns, telling The AP, “This is not a beach weekend for anyone in the Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast”.
The storm, already blamed for two deaths, was expected to return to hurricane strength later Sunday as it continued its march toward New England.
Hermine (her-MEEN) caused two deaths, damaged properties, closed beaches as far north as NY, and left hundreds of thousands without electricity from Florida to Virginia.
The storm, dubbed Hermine, claimed at least two lives, in Florida and North Carolina.
New York City and Nassau County were removed from the Tropical Storm Warning overnight as the storm continues its journey on a more southeast track than initially anticipated.
The wind is expected to pick up on Sunday and increase throughout the day, and there’s a chance of coastal flooding in some areas as well.
The eastern track of the storm, away from the New Jersey coast, was a good thing and would lessen its impacts on shore communities, officials said Sunday. “Something is going to happen”. They also expect flooding along with beach erosion, risky storm surges and rip currents.
Governor Dannel Malloy updated CT residents regarding tropical storm Hermine Sunday morning.
Slow-moving Hermine was still delivering strong winds, risky storm surges and rip currents to the Northeast Sunday after causing destruction along its path, which began in Florida and stretched up the East Coast.
Maximum sustained winds are at 70 miles per hour, moving east-northeast at 10 miles per hour.
On Saturday, high winds tipped over an 18-wheeler, killing its driver and shutting down a bridge in North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
“Because it’s a holiday weekend, it would be more hard to get National Guard members in because they’re staffing levels wouldn’t be as high as they normally would be”, Christie said.
Hermine was a hurricane when it slammed into Florida’s Gulf of Mexico coast Friday, causing street flooding and power outages, the southeast state’s first hurricane landfall since 2005.
Governors all along the Eastern seaboard announced emergency preparations. A homeless was killed by a falling tree.
The storm system will affect the southern coast of Rhode Island and southeast coast of MA through at least Monday, according to the weather service.
He also encouraged anyone traveling south of Boston to use caution, since the storm will still cause wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour on the Cape and up to 60 miles per hour on the islands.

Potential storm-surge inundation levels of no more than 1 to 3 feet (30 cm to 1 m) were expected in coastal areas. Climate change is expected to make storms like Hermine even more common in the North Atlantic. Coastal areas will be impacted the most, Manzo says.
