00:00New Jersey is under a state of emergency as Hurricane Aaron churns up the Atlantic coast.
00:05Governor Phil Murphy says powerful winds, flooding, and dangerous rip currents are striking the Jersey Shore.
00:11The National Hurricane Center warns Aaron may be weakening, but it is still massive,
00:16with hurricane-force winds stretching 125 miles from its center.
00:21That means beach closures, road shutdowns, and life-threatening conditions, even without landfall.
00:27Other states like Rhode Island, Virginia, and Massachusetts are also bracing for storm surge and pounding surf,
00:33while Canada's Atlantic coast faces high waves and flooding risks.
00:37North Carolina, still recovering from last year's Hurricane Helene, has already seen evacuations and dozens of swimmers pulled from rip currents.
00:45And with experts predicting an above-average hurricane season due to warming oceans, this storm may be just the beginning.
00:52Stay alert, stay safe, and avoid the water until warnings are lifted.
