On Thursday, Hurricane Erin was several hundred miles off the coast of North Carolina and pushing storm surge and deadly rip currents toward the shore. Two other systems may form right behind.

Hurricane Erin won't make landfall in the U.S., but it will bring dangerous rip currents to the East Coast. Beachgoers from Florida to the Carolinas to the Mid-Atlantic to Long Island need to be on alert for rip currents from Erin this week.

Powerful Hurricane Erin is expected to bring high seas, big rip currents, and rough surf as it moves between the United States and Bermuda.
