RODANTHE, N.C. (AP) — Hurricane Erin chugged slowly toward the eastern U.S. coast Tuesday, stirring up treacherous waves that already have forced dozens of beach rescues days before the biggest storm surges are expected.

Hurricane Erin won't make landfall in the U.S., but it will bring dangerous rip currents to the East Coast. Beachgoers from Florida to the Carolinas to the Mid-Atlantic to Long Island need to be on alert for rip currents from Erin this week.

Harjinder Singh, accused of causing a Florida Turnpike crash that killed three South Floridians, signed extradition papers Tuesday.
