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.
Hundreds of thousands of beachgoing tourists were keeping a watchful eye on massive Hurricane Erin on Tuesday, as large waves and rough surf driven by the powerful storm were aiming for the Atlantic Coast from central Florida to Canada.
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?
