Digest more
On Thursday, Hurricane Erin was several hundred miles off the coast of North Carolina and pushing storm surge and deadly rip currents toward the shore. Three other systems may form right behind.
Erin is expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip currents along the beaches of the Bahamas, much of the east coast of the U.S. and Bermuda during the next several days. Rip current alerts extend along most of Florida's coastline with a high rip current risk for Palm Beach County and moderate risk for Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Increased surf and dangerous rip currents are expected to continue along the eastern seaboard as Hurricane Erin moves into the North Atlantic.
