Mayor Eric Adams has announced that all city beaches will be closed on Wednesday and Thursday due to hazardous conditions associated with Hurricane Erin.

The huge storm, which is moving closer to the eastern seaboard, is currently off the coast of North Carolina, creating waves of 20 feet or more along the sand dunes of North Carolina’s barrier islands.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) has said that the hurricane is currently tracking northward, running parallel to the east coast, while the storm has created dangerous rip currents along much of the eastern seaboard.
