Hurricane Erin is a massive, dangerous storm, threatening to bring hazardous surf and rip currents this week to the North America coastline. The largest, individual wave could possibly top 30 metres (100 feet)--the size of a 10-storey building.

Powerful waves from Hurricane Erin hit the North Carolina coastline as officials warn to stay away from beaches. See video.

Several Connecticut residents went across the border to check out the big waves at Misquamicut State Beach in Westerly.
