Hurricane Erin moves up East Coast, with Virginia's effects coming Thursday
As Hurricane Erin continues its march up the Eastern Seaboard, weather forecasters are still saying that Virginia's coast will feel the brunt of the storm Aug. 21, with wind gusts of at least 20-30 mph, and dangerous rip currents and storm surges. The storm's winds increased on the morning of Aug. 20 to 110 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center's 11 a.m. update as it arrived along much of the East Coast. Winds were forecast to continue increasing to 120 mph, making it a Category 3 storm by later Aug. 20. Erin is expected to pass about 150-250 miles east of North Carolina's Outer Banks on Aug. 20. That evening and the next day when Tidewater Virginia will be affected, the storm will pass even closer before it takes a more northeastern turn. With the latest advisory, a tropical storm warning was also issued for the Virginia coastline from the North Carolina border to Chincoteague as the impacts from Erin spread northward. Maryland: Ocean City prohibits swimming as Hurricane Erin churns offshore, rip currents expected Live: Hurricane Erin to bring 'powerful' 20-foot waves along East Coast The hurricane's projected path takes it between the East Coast and Bermuda. That tiny island nation is about 750 miles off the Virginia coast. 'The dangers at the beach this week should not be underestimated. Dozens of rip current rescues have already been reported along the Carolinas. The force of the rip currents and rough surf along the Atlantic coast this week is life-threatening,' AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva said. 'Hurricane Erin is producing a tremendous amount of energy that will bring hazardous beach conditions from Florida to New England.' In the Outer Banks area, Hatteras Island was under mandatory evacuation, while emergency officials began evacuating some of the so-called "4x4" beachfront neighborhoods in the northern part of the region that borders Virginia. Popular tourist spots like Nags Head and Kitty Hawk were not under mandatory get-out orders, but water-activity restrictions are in place. In Virginia Beach, officials are preparing the state's largest city for high winds and rough currents when Erin passes by. According to media reports, crews scoured the city to clear storm drains and check the tide gates and pump stations. In NC: Outer Banks braces for 'sadness and devastation' as Hurricane Erin roars by At Virginia Beach Town Center, a retail entertainment venue a few miles from the oceanfront, management decided to open four garages for residents who wanted to move their vehicles to higher ground. The parking spots would be available from Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning. On social media, Gov. Glenn Youngkin urged coastal Virginians to get ready for rough surf, tidal flooding and rip currents that will continue through Friday, Aug. 22. "Please stay out of the water and follow local guidance on beach access and safety," Youngkin posted.. As for the rest of Virginia, Erin's effects will be something to watch from afar. Forecasters say hurricane-related conditions may stretch as far as Newport News, which is 40 miles inland, but the remainder of the commonwealth should be spared unless the hurricane takes a surprise turn more westward.

Watch Huge Waves From Hurricane Erin Batter Beach Homes in North Carolina
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Several videos shared across social media this week show massive waves from Hurricane Erin battering abandoned beachfront properties in North Carolina's Outer Banks. Why It Matters As of Wednesday afternoon, Hurricane Erin was a Category 2 storm with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph. Although it won't make landfall in the U.S., the large storm is passing close enough to the East Coast to generate massive waves and life-threatening rip currents. Earlier this week, mandatory evacuation orders were issued for the Outer Banks as officials feared that overwash would flood important roads.

IndigoSurf Photography/Getty What To Know Meteorologists have warned of 20-foot waves this week, with the Outer Banks likely to see some of the strongest waves. "Will these homes survive #HurricaneErin? With 15-20' waves forecast, these abandoned houses in Rodanthe, NC could be taken out later this week," FOX Weather meteorologist Mike Seidel posted on X on Monday night.

Live coverage on @foxweather starts at 7 AM ET with @thekatiebyrne from Jacksonville Beach, FL #OBX #Tropical — Mike Seidel (@mikeseidel) August 19, 2025 By Wednesday, videos of waves lashing the homes began to make the rounds on social media. "The Outer Banks of North Carolina are swept by massive swells kicked up by Hurricane #Erin Coastal flooding remains possible as Erin nears the North Carolina coast, with the worst of the impacts expected Thursday. The ENTIRE East Coast should remain vigilant, as massive waves will affect all eastern seaboard beaches." WeatherNation posted on X on Wednesday morning.

"Powerful waves from Hurricane Erin hit beachside homes and flooded streets along North Carolina's Outer Banks on Tuesday," AccuWeather posted with a similar video.

"These homes were abandoned and the homeowners compensated due to the construction of the new bridge several years ago," one user posted on the WeatherNation video. "This is disingenuous "news" for shock factor only. Pretty pathetic." A comment on the AccuWeather said the homes were deemed uninhabitable years ago. What People Are Saying NWS meteorologist Ryan Fucheck told Newsweek: "As far as waves go, we are really expecting things to ramp up this evening. The biggest impacts from the storm will be overnight tonight and through Thursday. We are still going to continue to see waves around 10-plus feet, especially in the Outer Banks north of Cape Hatteras through Friday. As we get to the weekend, conditions will gradually improve." NWS Morehead City, in a high surf advisory: "Extreme beach and coastal damage is likely along the oceanside, resulting in a significant threat to life and property. Large dangerous waves will likely inundate and destroy protective dune structures. Severe flooding will likely extend inland from the waterfront causing flooding of many homes and businesses with some structural damage possible. Numerous roads will likely be impassable under several feet of water and vehicles will likely be submerged. Actions will need to be taken to protect life and property. Extremely dangerous swimming and surfing conditions expected, as well as the wave action resulting in significant beach erosion." What Happens Next Weather warnings related to Hurricane Erin are expected to remain in place along the East Coast through much of this week. People were urged to remain out of the ocean on the East Coast, as numerous water rescues have already occurred for people caught in rip currents related to the storm.

Flooding downpours to unfold in Northeast as Hurricane Erin spins offshore
Tropical moisture sent northward by Hurricane Erin will trigger downpours that can lead to flash flooding in parts of the Appalachians and Northeast from Wednesday into Wednesday night, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. The heaviest rain will come from a stalled weather front draped across the region, rather than directly from Hurricane Erin. A pocket a dry weather could separate the two areas of rain. "In a worst-case scenario, several inches of rain could fall in just a few hours along the boundary of tropical moisture, leading to major flooding in urban areas and along smaller streams," said AccuWeather Vice President of Forecasting Operations Dan DePodwin. Rainfall rates may reach 1 to 2 inches per hour, with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 8 inches expected for this event. Should these conditions materialize, significant flash flooding could result, inundating some highways and low-lying neighborhoods with deep water, potentially stranding vehicles and severely disrupting travel. From Wednesday into Wednesday night, the primary area of concern for heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding extends from upstate New York and southern New England to New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. Torrential downpours are expected to be highly localized, but forecasters anticipate pockets where a more concentrated swath of heavy rainfall could lead to an elevated flood the app? Unlock AccuWeather Alerts™ with Premium+ The highest risk for concentrated downpours is expected in parts of central and eastern New York, with another corridor extending from southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia area to Long Island, southern Connecticut and Rhode Island. A separate narrow band of heavy rainfall may also develop along the Allegheny Mountains, stretching from western New York through western Pennsylvania into northern West Virginia. As tropical moisture shifts northward, the zone of torrential downpours is expected to lift into New England before gradually diminishing by Thursday. Around that time, moisture on the periphery of Hurricane Erin may bring occasional wind-driven showers to portions of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England coasts. Thursday is also expected to bring the most hazardous surf conditions along much of the Northeast coastline. Want next-level safety, ad-free?
