Digest more
Roads are closed, and storm surge and tropical storm warnings are still in place, as the coast braces for dangerous conditions for a few more days.
Hurricane Erin is moving northeast, away from North Carolina's coast, on Thursday morning, but flooding impacts could linger in the Outer Banks.
Life-threatening rip currents brought by the offshore storm are forecast to last for at least a couple more days.
Erin is currently making its closest approach to our coast, which is about 200 miles ESE of Cape Hatteras. Impacts will peak today with the worst conditions expected along the OBX during today's high tide cycles. #HurricaneErin #ncwx Latest briefing: https://t.co/CAZ6pY0eg1 pic.twitter.com/xTHVV8G4y6
