Beach erosion a big concern. High tied across many coastal areas and new jersey. I want to mention the Royal Caribbean anthem of the seas cruise ship found itself in the cross hairs of hermine. They were dealing with 30foot tall waves. This cruise ship had to deal with another storm system with Hurricane Force winds out at sea earlier this year in february. We are talking about another storm yet again with the same cr cruise ship being out at sea. Take a listen to what the passenger had to say about the experience. Early morning the ship started swaying. 40 to 50 feet at one point eating in the restaurant dishes going all over the place. Tropical storm warnings remain in effect across eastern parts of long island extending to southern portions of new england where they could have Tropical Storm force winds ac
Wisconsin for an evening rally. You wont see any badger state political gold medalists there. Governor scott walker, speaker of the house paul ryan and senator ron johnson all mplan t skip the event because they all have proverbial prior engagements.
