Digest more
Much of North Carolina’s Outer Banks region is under a tropical storm watch with Hurricane Erin expected to skirt the area Wednesday through Thursday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
As Hurricane Erin continues to move up the East Coast, officials say it could be days before the Outer Banks of North Carolina are fully accessible again. NBC’s Aaron Gilchrist reports and TODAY’s Dylan Dreyer tracks the latest forecast.
Local officials issued evacuation orders for parts of the Outer Banks, warning that the storm might wash out roads.
