Thunderstorms and rain continue to sweep across Florida after Hurricane Erin veered away at the last moment and passed by the Sunshine State with relatively minor impact. Dangerous rip current warnings are still in place as the passing storm causes massive waves and irregular patterns in the water.

Strong winds and waves battered Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard and dangerous rip currents threatened from the Carolinas to New England as Hurricane Erin made its way farther out to sea.The storm was forecast to cause possible coastal flooding into the weekend along the East Coast but was also expected to lose strength gradually.

Forecasters are keeping a close watch on other potential storm systems that could develop in the Atlantic Ocean in the next seven days.

Users were impressed by the perspective captured in the viral post, with one describing it as "beautiful and terrifying."

Most hurricanes that go down in history are remembered for the devastation they bring. But with little to no chance of hitting land, Hurricane Erin will be remembered for something else: its size.

Erin’s surf and storm surge could cause erosion along sections of the Florida and East Coast and shapes up as potentially worse for North Carolina’s barrier islands, which are under mandatory evacuation orders ahead of the four feet of storm surge and 20-foot offshore waves Erin is expected to bring.

Hurricane Erin is forcing evacuations on North Carolina’s Outer Banks as it churns in the Atlantic where high winds and heavy rain are pelting the Turks and Caicos Islands and parts of the Bahamas.
