Hurricane Erin Weakens but Still Dangerous
Once a Category 5 monster, Hurricane Erin is now a Category 3 — but its size still threatens millions along the East Coast. With 125 mph winds stretching hundreds of miles, the storm is bringing heavy rain, flooding, and dangerous surf to Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, and parts of the U.S. coast.
North Carolina has ordered evacuations for Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands as officials warn of 20-foot waves and road washouts. Emergency crews urge residents to prepare, reminding all that even without landfall, Erin’s reach can be life-changing.
