Coastal parts of Maryland are seeing impacts from Hurricane Erin Thursday as the storm as the storm travels parallel to the East Coast.

As Hurricane Erin moves east of the U.S., bringing impacts along the Atlantic coast, the National Hurricane Center continues to watch two areas in the tropics for possible development.

Tropical storm warnings remain in effect for the North Carolina coast. The storm will move northeast as it heads out to sea and away from land.

In a Facebook post Thursday, the Mount Washington Observatory posted a picture showing clouds from the storm's outflow.

A "wild" video shows the moment waves from Hurricane Erin crashed into homes in the Outer Banks. The North Carolina homes were protected by stilts as the water rushed down the street and around them, according to the video, which was published by The New York Post. The Post referred to the water as a "tidal surge."

A tropical storm warning is in effect for the coastal regions of Virginia, the Outer Banks, Pamlico Sound, and the Eastern Shore. A coastal flood warning is in place from Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon for coastal areas in Hampton Roads, on the Eastern Shore, and on the Outer Banks.

Hurricane Erin, far enough away from the East Coast yet close enough to show its impact along the shoreline, is pounding New England’s southern coastline with huge, crashing waves of up to 20 feet, prompting high surf and flooding advisories.
