Storm Imelda Crashes Bahamas Party, Leaves Carolinas Wet and Miffed
In a meteorological tag team nobody asked for, Tropical Storm Imelda popped up Sunday just as Hurricane Humberto was hogging the Atlantic spotlight, aiming to rain on the Carolinas' parade with 2-4 inches of rain and flash floods by Tuesday. National Hurricane Center's deputy director Jamie Rhome kindly reminded us all via Facebook video (because where else?) that even if Imeldaās U.S. impact is 'coming down,' itās not zero ā spoiler, itāll still dunk South Carolina to parts of coastal North Carolina with up to 6 inches of water, causing minor flooding and high rip current risks stretching from southern Florida to the Outer Banks. Experts suggest swimming near lifeguards unless you want to impersonate a soggy rubber duck. Climate change, of course, cheered Imelda and Humberto on from the sidelines, boosting hurricane intensity while we watch. Grab your floatiesā2025's hurricane party isnāt over yet.

Storm Imeldaās here to remind the Carolinas that mother natureās version of a mic drop is soggy sidewalks and rip currents stretching from Florida beaches to the Outer Banks. Spoiler: climate change gave her two thumbs up.
When the Atlanticās guest list includes Hurricane Humberto and Tropical Storm Imelda, you know the Carolinas didnāt RSVP but theyāre still crashing the party with floods and rip currents.
Beach days called in sick thanks to Imelda, the tropical storm that canāt stop sending rain invites and rip current warnings from Florida to the Outer Banks. Lifeguards now basically the ultimate party bouncers.
