Large swarm of Jellyfish washes ashore on North Carolina beach – WWAYTV3
OCRACOKE ISLAND, NC (WWAY) — A big swarm of Cannonball Jellyfish have washed up on a North Carolina seaside.
The mass of sea life had been pushed on land on the North finish of Ocracoke Island Wednesday.
Based on the Cape Hatteras Nationwide Seashore, Jellyfish can’t swim, in order that they float together with the winds and currents. Colder water temperatures, winds, and currents can all play a task in them washing ashore.
Though this explicit species typically doesn’t sting, guests are suggested to keep away from dealing with them.
Officers say they are going to be left on shore to let nature take its course. Some could wash again out with the tide or turn into meals for different residing issues on the Seashore like birds or crabs.

FEMA extends transitional housing program for North Carolina residents displaced by Hurricane Helene
FEMA is extending its Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) Program to Jan. 25 for residents of North Carolina, according to a Monday announcement.
The program, which was set to expire on Tuesday, funds temporary housing, like hotel or motel rooms, for thousands of people displaced from their homes by Hurricane Helene.
The federal assistance gives households extra time to find alternative housing solutions or to make repairs to their homes.

More than 3,000 families are eligible for the program’s extension, according to FEMA.
The agency said people checking out of their temporary housing on Tuesday are returning to habitable homes or have withdrawn from FEMA assistance.
