swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Greatest potential for impacts along
vulnerable portions of Highway 12 on Ocracoke and Hatteras

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If
travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through
water of unknown depth.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to
dangerous surf conditions.
Life-threatening rip currents. If caught in a rip current, remain
