Those traveling down the shore today and this weekend are still advised to be mindful of powerful rip currents and safety warnings despite the weather appearing to be calmer Friday. Stay out of the water until it is fully safe.

New Jersey is still under a state of emergency Friday evening, as Hurricane Erin angles farther away from the coast. Emergency management officials are worried about flooding once again, as the tide rises. Most of the state is under either a coastal flood advisory, or the more serious coastal flood warning.
