Hurricane Erin continues to impact the East Coast, prompting evacuations and state of emergency declarations particularly in New Jersey and North Carolina. Massive waves, recorded near historical levels, have lashed beaches from Nantucket to Atlantic City, resulting in severe flooding and road closures. Water rescues have been reported in various coastal towns as authorities warn of ongoing flood threats. The hurricane is currently being tracked as it moves northeast and is expected to transform into a post-tropical system while still affecting coastal areas with strong winds and high tides. Residents in affected regions are urged to stay away from the ocean due to dangerous conditions. Forecasters are also monitoring three additional tropical systems forming in the Atlantic.
