Hurricane Erin stirs up strong winds and floods part of a NC highway as it slowly moves out to sea
Hurricane Erin has battered North Carolina’s Outer Banks with strong winds and waves that flooded part of the main highway and surged under beachfront homes.
RODANTHE, N.C. (AP) — Hurricane Erin kicked up big waves Thursday along the mid-Atlantic coast and began a slow march out to sea after pelting North Carolina’s Outer Banks with strong winds and swells that flooded a few places on the barrier islands.
Meteorologists are closely tracking the projected path and forecast of Hurricane Erin, which is the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year.
Erin is also impacting Florida beaches, with large swells and elevated rip current threats continuing. The hurricane will continue to move away from the US today and slowly weaken late week. It is expected to be post-tropical by Saturday.
