Hurricane Erin downgraded to Category 3 as tropical storm warning issued for Turks and Caicos
Hurricane Erin has been downgraded to a Category 3 hurricane. Hurricane Erin was downgraded to a Category 3 hurricane early Sunday as a tropical storm warning was issued for the Turks and Caicos Islands and winds and heavy rains whipped the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Hurricane Erin is expected to steer clear of the U.S. East Coast, but its massive impacts could include rip currents on American beaches.
Hurricane Erin won’t make landfall on the Outer Banks but is projected to produce dangerous rip currents along the beaches.
