  inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near
  shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Beach Hazards
  Statement, a high risk for rip currents.

* WHERE...Eastern Currituck County.

* WHEN...For the Coastal Flood Advisory, until 2 PM EDT Friday.

closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of
unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone
