Is Imelda going to hit the U.S. East Coast?

Asked 2 hours ago

Answer

Imelda is not expected to hit the U.S. East Coast directly. The hurricane is turning out to sea due to the influence of Hurricane Humberto, though dangerous surf, rip currents, and some coastal flooding are affecting the coast from Miami to Maine.
