Reporter you can take one look out here and see that conditions are a whole lot better than they were earlierrle this evening. At 6 00 i was getting batteredered around by the wind. Lots of sand in the face and it here tonight, but a lot better than it was before. Take a look, though. Some evidence left behind ofof those intense windy conditions. N all the sand has blown up here onto the boardwalk, you can make a few sand castle les up here. Up people are not doing that. Instead they are taking advantage of the fact that its not raining its not so windy out here. We are seeing some really significant crowds considering thesi threat of this weather. Er. We are, though, still keeping an eye on the ocean tonight. Ght. We are just about to hit high tied and safety Officials Say that not only tonight but in the days ahead flooding is still something that were needing ton keep in mind. Its something that is stillill possible. Public safety officials are warning people we are not out ou the woods yet. Well show you some video now that we got at the beach earlier today. T very, very rough water. We saw a lot of people crowdedle pictures and just watching the waves. Because there wasnt any flooding beach patrol was more concerned about keeping people out of the ab water and notes me off of the beach. Ch. People were allow to be out there at their own risk of course. These were not folks who live ii the ocean city area. I was surprised by p how amri peoplese ive talked to said thy planned to travel here thiss weekend. I thought it would be a lot more empty than this, but i thought h lot of people are holding out and wait and see what happens. We were expecting more than this. This big surge coming in. You would have to be driving b through waters. Gh we drove our truck instead of our car down. I dont think it was all that much. But at least youre able to walk the boardwalk and have some fun. We were coming no matter what. We were going to have a good time. Obviously a lot going on there h in ocean well check back in with Lindsay Watts in ocean city. Right now i want to bring in gwen. Whats the storm right now. Its moving its way off thee coast. Co its taking the strongest winds it with. Thats why where lindsay isnds right now theyre not seeingng quite as much in terms of wind strength as she did earlier. Still, however a danger once we get into sunday night and into monday and some high surf. The system continues to move too the north, northeast at 12 miles epa hour and even though theyre not seeing much there right now believe me there are stillll Tropical Storm watches andes warnings all along the coastal area from virginia stretching all the way up to new englandng and these are still in effect and going to stay in effect as long as that storm continues to throw out those Strong Winds Force that it does. The wind field on this is very, very wide. It reaches from the center 205 miles. 205 take ao 47 showing here, 31. We have 36mile per hour wind gusts. At ocean city 31mile per hour winds which are probably a little more further out than they are hitting the land right now. But this is a really goodod indication of whats ahead with the storm surge and the really strong rip currents that were concerned with. Coast flood al advisories haveve been issued. This is for 7 00 for d. C. , ailing ton as well as for st. Marys and calvert county. That means you really have to watch because the high tiedgh were going to see some highsee levels there. The tract of this looks likeook its going to move a little bit to the north and northeast, but where does it end up . Thats the all important question. Looking forward to it.
