While Hurricane Erin stayed offshore, her impact was still felt up and down the coast. In Atlantic City, noticeable beach erosion carved deep slopes into what was once a flat shoreline. A high surf advisory and dangerous rip currents remain in effect along the Jersey Shore heading into the weekend.

Hurricane Erin continues to pose a serious threat along parts of the US East Coast as it tracks northeastward, prompting emergency measures in multiple states.

Erin delivered tropical storm-force wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph to much of the Outer Banks early Thursday morning and some 45 mph gusts to coastal Virginia and Maryland.
