Towns along the Jersey shore are warning people to stay out of the water due to the passing storm.
The Delaware Valley region will miss a direct hit from incoming Hurricane Lee, but we will see rough surf and dangerous rip currents because of the storm.Swimmers at unguarded beaches could receive fines between $100 and $1,250.Cape May officials sent out an alert on Thursday announcing that waters there and in Cape May Point are closed until further notice.New Jersey is not expected to have any major flooding or inland damage because of this storm because it's so far off the coast.
"People come down here - they're curious. They want to see the ocean. It's rough, it's not normally like this throughout the summer," said Captain Dave Funk with the Ventnor City Beach Patrol.A rip current, which flows out toward the ocean, can quickly pull a swimmer away from the shore. If you're caught in a rip current, the first step is to flip to your back and float. Staying calm and not exhausting yourself by fighting against the current is essential to avoid drowning, NOAA said.
