While Hurricane Idalia made landfall early this morning on Florida's Gulf Coast, it's Hurricane Franklin that's causing swells and rip currents at the Jersey shore.
Swimmers, however, were disappointed. Lifeguards did not allow people to go in very far on Wednesday.
"Yeah, it's too rough for me, too rough," said Debbie Hinkle of West Deptford, visiting for the day with her family."They told us we could not go in the water. They told us we couldn't even go to the water's edge," Hinkle said. "The surges - with the full moon and the high tide, we've had the surges and the power of these waves - yesterday afternoon it was just knocking people right off their feet and dragging them right out," said Chief Steve Downey with Atlantic City Beach Patrol.
