Hurricane Erin starts slog up East Coast
Digest more
Hurricane Erin is forcing evacuations on North Carolina’s Outer Banks as it churns in the Atlantic where high winds and heavy rain are pelting the Turks and Caicos Islands and parts of the Bahamas.
The already sprawling storm will grow larger as it hurls the ocean toward the East Coast and Bermuda, and it could have company this week.
Hurricane Erin was a Category 4 storm again Monday morning and is expected to grow even larger and stronger, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Although Erin is forecast to move north between the U.S. and Bermuda, life-threatening surf and rip currents are likely across the Atlantic coast from Florida to Canada.
Hurricane Erin strengthened into a Category 4 storm on Saturday morning, making it the first major hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season.
