Beach Hazard Statement, Special Statement
Statement as of 7:44 am EDT on May 22, 2012

... Beach hazards statement remains in effect through this
evening...

* hazards... high rip current risk and dangerous shore break.

* Location... along the beaches north of Cape Lookout.

* Timing and tides... the most likely time for life threatening
rip currents will be a couple of hours either side of low
tide. Low tide will occur around 245 PM this afternoon.

* Potential impacts... dangerous rip currents combined with rough
surf of 4 to 6 feet.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore... which occur most often at low spots or breaks in The
Sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as groins...
jetties and piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards and the beach
patrol. Pay attention to flags and posted signs posted near beach
access points and lifeguard stations.

If you become caught in a rip current... do not panic. Remain calm
and begin to swim parallel to shore. Once you are away from the
force of the rip current... begin to swim back to the beach. Do
not attempt to swim directly against a rip current... since it can
exhaust and even kill the strongest swimmer.

Shore break occurs when waves break directly on the beach. The
most common injuries with strong shore break are neck and back
injuries... which most often occur when the powerful surf throws a
swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom. It is extremely
important to protect your head and neck whenever you are in
breaking waves by keeping your hands in front of you at all
times.

new beach hazards statement...

612 am EDT Tue may 22 2012

... Locally dense fog will affect the morning commute across
eastern North Carolina this morning...

Patchy dense fog was occurring across eastern North Carolina
early this morning. Visibilities have locally dropped to 1/4 of
mile in spots and this will make driving to work or school
hazardous this morning.

Motorists are advised to leave extra time to arrive at their
destinations. Also leave plenty of distance between your vehicle
and the one in front of you and use only low beam headlights.

The fog is forecast to diminish around 9 am.
