Outer Banks, Hurricane Erin and North Carolina
Digest more
Erin has become an unusually large and deceptively worrisome storm moving through the Caribbean, with its tropical storm winds stretching 200 miles from its core.
Hurricane Erin forced tourists to cut their vacations short on North Carolina’s Outer Banks even though the monster storm is expected to stay offshore after lashing part of the Caribbean with rain and wind on Monday.
Early on Aug. 17, Hurricane Erin's outer rainbands were "producing gusty winds and heavy rains across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico," according to the National Hurricane Center. Where will the hurricane hit?
