Hurricane Erin

Hurricane Erin may be moving away, but it's still battering the East Coast with coastal flooding, life-threatening rip currents and high surf, and in a few places, tropical storm force winds, particularly in North Carolina and the Virginia Tidewater.

Where Erin Is Now

Erin's center is now over 200 miles east of Hatteras, North Carolina, and has made its anticipated turn to the northeast.

While the hurricane's maximum sustained winds have not changed much since Wednesday afternoon, the size of Erin's tropical-storm- and hurricane-force winds increased dramatically over the past few days, as expected.
