Flood warnings are issued for parts of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and evacuations are enacted for Hatteras Island. The storm is expected to generate dangerous ripple effects with towering waves and strong winds impacting multiple states. Beachgoers are advised to heed local warnings as Erin's winds extend unpredictably, heightening risks for many coastal residents.
Flood warnings are in effect through Thursday for parts of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, with two to seven inches of rain expected.
Hurricane Erin is set to generate towering 20-foot waves and dangerous rip currents along the East Coast.
Forecasters said Erin is growing in size, with hurricane-force winds extending up to 80 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds stretching 205 miles.
