Park Place to Deploy Help to Areas Impacted by Hurricane Erin

Park Place Technologies is taking proactive steps to prepare clients for the impact of Hurricane Erin. Hurricane Erin Update

According to the National Weather Service, Hurricane Erin is expected to bring tropical storm conditions to the Outer Banks late Wednesday to Thursday, with life-threatening surf and rip currents up and down the East Coast through the next couple of days. Hurricane Erin, currently northeast of the Bahamas, is forecast to track north and then northeastward off the East Coast over the next few days. While the center of the storm will remain well offshore, the expanding circulation and outer bands of the storm are expected to bring some impacts to portions of the East Coast, especially along the North Carolina Outer Banks.

Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect beginning late Wednesday for the threat of tropical storm force wind gusts, heavy rain/isolated flash flooding, and a life-threatening storm surge of 2-4 feet. Large waves could lead to significant beach erosion and over wash, leaving some roads impassible. Tropical storm conditions are also possible further north into coastal Virginia where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. A surge of 1-3 feet is expected more broadly along the coastal Carolinas northward through coastal Virginia.
