It is hammering the bahamas with heavy flooding and winds of around 130 miles an hour. New information suggests that joaquin may avoid landfall in the united states. But the wind, the rain, the flooding, and rip currents could still affect millions along the eastern seaboard. At least 11 states on the coast are in danger of the floods. The Weather Channel anchor and managing editor sam champion is in seaside heights, new jersey, where a state of emergency is in effect. Sam, i wish you had better news, but its good to see you. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The wind is still strong. The rain has picked up a little bit. And there is some good news in the fact that this hurricane will be a driveby for most of these areas. The bad news is waiting for these people on the coast. 11 to 15foot waves here. Most of the night theyve been taking heavy equipment and pushing the sand up to create these berms. In key areas just outside where the roads connect to the beach, so they dont get the direct flood water from the ocean pushing up here. We expect through sunday there will be extra water along the coastline. Let me show you Something Else thats very important to these folks. This is the pier here in seaside heights. The iconic shot of the roller coaster and ferris wheel going into the ocean after Hurricane Sandy in 2012. They spent a lot of time, effort, and money getting things back to normal here.

Were on ashley street in the historic section of charleston. Its closed. Childrens hospital is closed. Other streets near the hospital are hospital. One woman died after her vehicle became stuck in floodwaters. In spartanburg, a car dealership had more than 50 vehicles damaged due to the weather. Back here in charleston, city workers are racing to ready sandbags to hand out to residents who were concerned about the flood water reaching their homes. Heres the bottom line. Regardless of where Hurricane Joaquin goes, South Carolina is dealing with a onetwo punch. And it has to do with high tides and a system that started near the gulf of mexico and is moving toward this area that could bring an unprecedented rain event this weekend to the charleston area, over the next 48 to 72 hours. David, thank you so much. Chief weather caster lonnie quinn is tracking this system. Good morning, lonnie. Good morning.

There will still be effects from the storm and there are still some models out there, i know the consensus is going offshore, but there are still some models that bring it onshore. So youve got to be on alert, especially around the southeastern portion of the u. S. South carolina, North Carolina just going to get pounded with rain, could be recordsetting rain. Bitter rain out west as well but not a big deal. Thank you, lonnie. Si in afghanistan, Jalalabad Airfield, an american plane crashed and six contractors were killed.
