A tropical storm warning remained in effect Tuesday morning from New York's Long Island to Massachusetts. New York officials extended beach closures beyond Labor Day because of continued deadly rip currents, but some ignored the warnings. The National Hurricane Center said Hermine was expected to become nearly stationary by Tuesday night before turning toward the northeast Wednesday. While many communities felt like they dodged a bullet, the threat of Hermine caused many vacationers to cancel their holiday plans. Hermine rose over the Gulf of Mexico and hit Florida on Friday as a Category 1 hurricane before weakening to a tropical storm across Georgia.
