Hurricane Erin: Where Things Stand & U.S. Implications
Erin had rapidly intensified from a tropical storm on Friday morning to a Category 5 hurricane on Saturday morning before weakening.
Hurricane Erin was a Category 3, with sustained winds of 125 mph, as of 8 p.m. Sunday.
Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were experiencing heavy rain, flash flooding, and power outages.
The Turks and Caicos and southeast Bahamas were bracing for significant rain and wind.
U.S. East Coast impacts
While Erin is projected to stay offshore, its size continues to grow.
Large swells, rip currents, and rough surf are expected to impact coasts from North Carolina through the Mid-Atlantic and potentially Florida. Beaches should anticipate dangerous conditions even without landfall.
People on the Eastern Seaboard residents should stay alert for possible rip current warnings, rough surf, and offshore wind gusts, especially midweek as Erin approaches closer offshore.
