Hurricane Erin is expected to bring large waves, rough surf and life-threatening rip currents from Florida to Canada
Much of North Carolina’s Outer Banks region is under a tropical storm watch with Hurricane Erin expected to skirt the area Wednesday through Thursday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Hurricane Erin pelted parts of the Caribbean and was forecast to create dangerous surf and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast this week.
Hurricane Erin won’t make landfall on the Outer Banks but is projected to produce dangerous rip currents along the beaches.
Early on Aug. 17, Hurricane Erin's outer rainbands were "producing gusty winds and heavy rains across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico," according to the National Hurricane Center. Where will the hurricane hit?
