Hurricane Erin is expected to impact the Outer Banks in North Carolina, sending massive waves crashing into the islands.
Local officials issued evacuation orders for parts of the Outer Banks, warning that the storm might wash out roads.
Hurricane Erin pelted parts of the Caribbean and was forecast to create dangerous surf and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast this week.
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says even though Erin is forecast to stay offshore by hundreds of miles, he is urging people to avoid the water for the next few days. The Category 2 storm is now churning over the Atlantic Ocean north of the Caribbean.
