Hurricane Erin has intensified, now a Category 4 storm, threatening the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda with life-threatening surf and rip currents. Waves as high as 100 feet are reportedly heading towards the coastline.
Coastal communities are bracing for impact. North Carolina has issued evacuation orders and declared a state of emergency as a precaution. Dangerous conditions are expected to peak today and tomorrow.
Erin's powerful winds and storm surge will generate hazardous conditions extending far beyond the immediate storm path. Residents are urged to heed warnings from local authorities and avoid beaches and coastal areas. Stay safe and informed as this powerful storm approaches.
