Hurricane Erin is moving northeast, away from North Carolina's coast, on Thursday morning, but flooding impacts could linger in the Outer Banks.
The National Hurricane Center warned that “life-threatening” surf and rip currents would affect the Bahamas, Bermuda and beaches up and down the East Coast over the next several days. "Beachgoers are cautioned against swimming at most U.S. East Coast beaches due to life-threatening surf and rip currents," the hurricane center said.
An updated storm surge warning was issued by the NWS Newport/Morehead City NC on Wednesday at 10:58 a.m. in effect until 7 p.m. for Northern Outer Banks.
