SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — As Hurricane Chris churns away in the Atlantic Ocean, Tri-State beaches are at a high risk of dangerous rip currents. There have been several water rescues and near drownings over the past week or so and with rip currents expected to get stronger, there’s growing concern too many people are underestimating the danger over the next couple days. Some swimmers chose to ignore the risk as high tide rolled in on the Jersey Shore Wednesday. It’s the kind of confidence that can lead to disaster. A pair of teenage surfers saw that first hand when they rescued a swimmer over the weekend. WATCH: CBS2’s Lonnie Quinn Explains What’s Causing The Recent Rise In Rip Currents “I saw him panicking and struggling and he was right in a rip current swallowing water,” Tom Picurro told CBS2. “When I got to him we were in a current and it sucked us straight out.” That’s when Picurro screamed for help from his buddy, John DeVoe. “I paddled over and used my surfboard as a flotation device for him,” said John. With no lifeguard on duty at the time, the near-drowning highlights the risk caused by Hurricane Chris churning up powerful currents and dangerous waves. “It doesn’t happen gradually, it just happens,” Picurro said. Local emergency management officials have been holding safety drills to prepare. Volunteers even helped save a man in Spring Lake on Sunday night. “We heard a swimmer in distress over the radio, responded, happened to be only three jetties away,” Tom Schofield from the Manasquan Fire Department said. “We were able to rescue and change someone’s life.” With the storm expected to linger a few more days, people who live on the shore full-time and share their beaches are offering up a simple bit of advice; if there’s no lifeguard, don’t go in the water. The rip current risk will remain high through Friday, then is expected to improve into the weekend.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A crime spree is targeting cars on Staten Island, and it seems as if “X” marks the spot in almost every case. Dozens of victims’ cars have been damaged since May in the Prince’s Bay, Pleasant Plains, Hugenot, Bloomingdale, and Woodrow neighborhoods. “It looks like somebody did a keyed cross,” Staten Island resident Darlene Silverstein said. “You can see it’s really carved in there so they really had to make an effort to dig in.” Sal Patanio’s says his car was targeted, along with 70 others across the borough that police know about. “I don’t know if it’s a gang type thing,” he said. “I don’t really know, but they do look familiar.” Police say they haven’t been able to catch a break in the case because the suspect, or suspects, haven’t been caught on surveillance. Patanio says it seems a little odd. “No one has been able to look at the camera and then identify somebody, somebodies that are doing these types of things,” he said. Police encourage anyone who has been a victim to come forward. There’s also a reward of $2,500 for information leading to an arrest.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The New York City Health Department confirmed Wednesday it was investigating a community cluster of Legionnaires’ disease in upper Manhattan.

The health department says they’re investigating the eight cases and testing water from nearby cooling tower systems. A community meeting will be held at Saint Luke’s AME Church located at 1872 Amsterdam Ave. Thursday night.

Levine (@MarkLevineNYC) July 11, 2018 New Yorkers with flu-like symptoms, cough, fever, or difficulty breathing should contact a doctor immediately. The disease isn’t contagious and can be treated by antibiotics if caught early, but can be spread if people breathe in water vapor that contains Legionnaires’ bacteria. There have been no deaths associated with the current cluster.

Cops: Person Of Interest In Deadly Stabbing Of Bronx Woman Wanted For Separate Murder
NEW YORK (AP) — Pinch-hitter Brandon Nimmo launched a three-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning and the New York Mets got another dominant outing from All-Star Jacob deGrom in a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night. Amed Rosario, who had two of New York’s four hits, began the winning rally with a two-out double off Mark Leiter Jr. (0-1) — the first hit for the Mets since the fourth inning. Jose Reyes walked and Nimmo drove Leiter’s next pitch well over the wall in right-center for his first career walk-off RBIs. It was New York’s third game-ending homer in the last six days. Jose Bautista beat Tampa Bay with a grand slam last Friday, and Wilmer Flores connected Monday in the series opener against Philadelphia to help the Mets earn a four-game split. In his final scheduled start before heading to the All-Star Game next Tuesday in Washington, deGrom scattered five hits and matched his longest outing of the season. He struck out seven and lowered his major league-leading ERA to 1.68. Still, the right-hander has only five wins on the season. He’s allowed just one earned run over his last 16 innings but has consistently been hurt by a lack of run support from an anemic New York offense all year. This time, at least, the Mets didn’t let deGrom’s gem go to waste. Robert Gsellman (6-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the win. (© Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
