Hurricane Erin to the eastern US beaches over the weekend

Hurricane Erin causes dangerous beach conditions over a large part of the US East Coast that is likely to last over the weekend, as the storm pushes north in the diminishing days of the summer travel season. Erin is currently not predicted to fall into the East VSA or Canada. But this week, the storm created a great risk of powerful and potentially deadly streams at popular holiday destinations, including Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts, the Hamptons on Long Island and Delaware’s Rehoboth beach. Heavy winds and waves up to 20 feet long are possible in the worst areas before they start calming on Saturday. Erin – who was 335 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, Northern Carolina, from Wednesday afternoon – creates great disturbances in the Atlantic Ocean that will take days to calm down. Tropical stormy winds now stretch hundreds of miles from Erin’s eye, causing widespread warnings of the eastern coast. The hurricane was a category 2 storm on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale on Wednesday with top winds of 110 km / h. “Strand -goers are being warned against swimming on most US east coast beaches due to life -threatening surfing and frost streams,” said Richard Pasch, a US National Hurricane Center forecast, in an update Wednesday at 14:00 local time. The storm has already forced visitors and residents to evacuate visitors and residents in the outer banks of the outer banks in North Carolina, as intense tides threaten to wash roads and cut off the region of emergency services. Erin can still gain power on Wednesday before hiding from the east coast and ‘the environment becomes a little more hostile,’ said Alex Dazilva, a meteorologist with commercial predictor Accuweather. While Erin is tackling in the northeast, the storm over oil production platforms can pass near Newfoundland. While Rough Surf will calm down in the coming days, Dasilva said that treacherous streams are still possible on the eastern beaches until Saturday. “I’m a little worried that people can think: ‘The storm is gone, I’m safe to go into the water,’ ‘Dasilva said. “But we want people to really be careful, because there can still be some current risk.” With the help of Robert Tuttle. © 2025 Bloomberg MP This article was generated from an automatic news agency feed without edits to text.
