The East Coast of the United States is currently under a coastal flood advisory due to an upcoming supermoon. This astronomical event is expected to produce the largest and brightest moon of the year, significantly affecting ocean tides.
Residents in areas such as New York City, New Jersey, and Florida should prepare for potential flooding, with projections indicating water levels could rise by up to two feet in some regions. The National Weather Service has warned that the gravitational pull of the supermoon will lead to higher-than-normal tides, causing roads in flood-prone zones to be closed.
Additional coastal flooding is anticipated throughout the advisory period, which is in effect from early Friday morning. Those living in low-lying areas are particularly vulnerable and should take precautions to protect their property from rising waters.
Stay updated on weather conditions and heed any warnings issued by local officials to ensure safety during this coastal flood advisory.
