Hurricane Erin stirs up strong winds and floods part of a NC highway as it creeps up the East Coast
Hurricane Erin battered North Carolina’s Outer Banks with strong winds and waves that flooded part of the main highway and surged under beachfront homes as the monster storm inched closer to the mid-Atlantic coast.
Life-threatening rip currents brought by the offshore storm are forecast to last for at least a couple more days.
Local officials issued evacuation orders for parts of the Outer Banks, warning that the storm might wash out roads.
