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.
