Hurricane Erin, Outer Banks and North Carolina
Digest more
Hurricane Erin, now a Category 2 storm, is causing significant beach closures and evacuations from North Carolina to New England due to hazardous surf conditions, rip currents, and potential flooding.
While Hurricane Erin is predicted to stay hundreds of kilometres offshore, the waves it is sending on the islands are at least 20 feet high that are crashing on the vulnerable sand dunes on the islands.
