Tropical Storm Hermine

People venture out onto the Jacksonville Beach Fishing Pier as waves crash against the pilings on Friday, Sept. 2, in Florida. Hurricane Hermine was downgraded to a tropical storm after making landfall on the Gulf coast of Florida. The storm is expected to strengthen again as it moves up the Atlantic coast toward New Jersey.

ATLANTIC CITY-- Citing "unsafe conditions" expected with the arrival of Tropical Storm Hermine, city officials announced Friday that weekend concert events will be cancelled.

Florida Georgia Line was scheduled to perform Saturday, and Blink-182 Monday. Ticket refunds can be obtained at the point of purchase, the city said in a statement.

Officials, keeping an eye on the storm's path, on Thursday ordered concert organizer Live Nation to make logistical changes to shield the public from the anticipated effects of the storm.

But on Friday night, hours after the newly projected track of the storm promised to bring tidal surges, coastal flooding and high winds to southeastern New Jersey, city and Atlantic County emergency management officials ordered the cancellation of the concerts. The storm is expected to linger off the New Jersey coast, extending its impact in the Garden State into early next week.

Hermine is feared to be the most destructive storm to hit parts of the Shore since Sandy four years ago. Cape May and Atlantic counties are expected to bear the worst of it.
