US EditionErin weakens to post-tropical cyclone, moving out to sea as it batters East Coast with wind, waves
Hurricane Erin, an unusually large Cape Verde storm, caused coastal flooding and disrupted transportation, with over 50 people rescued from tidal flooding in New Jersey, officials said.
- Hurricane Erin weakened into a post-tropical cyclone on Friday evening, moving out to sea along the U.S. East Coast and Atlantic Canada near Nova Scotia.
- Erin formed nearly a week earlier as a Cape Verde hurricane, fluctuated in intensity, and remained unusually large, spanning over 600 miles during its course.
- Strong winds and waves battered the Northeast including Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and New Jersey, causing tidal flooding that led firefighters to rescue more than 50 people in Margate City.
- Meteorologist Caitlyn Mench highlighted that Erin's extensive wind field impacted much of the East Coast, while officials in Dare County reported no new inlets formed and only minimal structural damage from the storm.
- Beaches along the Mid-Atlantic and New England closed due to high surf and rip currents, ferry services were canceled in Boston-area cities, and coastal flooding warnings remain as possible impacts may continue into the weekend.
