North Carolina braces for dangerous surf from Hurricane Erin | BBC News

Hurricane Erin is set to threaten large stretches of the US East Coast on Wednesday, bringing storm surges, rip currents, and coastal flooding, forecasters have warned.

The Category 2 storm, currently over the Atlantic Ocean, is not expected to make landfall in the US but authorities have cautioned that high waves, flooding and road closures are likely.

North Carolina is expected to be one of the worst hit areas, but no-swimming advisories have been issued at beaches as far north as New Jersey and Delaware.
