Powerful Hurricane Erin continues to strengthen and remains an extremely dangerous Category 4 hurricane as it continues its journey across the Atlantic, prompting officials in North Carolina to issue local states of emergency and forcing residents and visitors to evacuate some areas.

The first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season is also one of the largest, fastest-growing hurricanes in recorded history

Though Hurricane Erin is expected to continue moving out to sea, the Steamship Authority on Monday released a travel advisory.

Hurricane Erin briefly strengthened into a Category 5 storm. It is not expected to make a direct hit on the U.S. but will create dangerous surf.

Major cruise lines are rerouting ships away from Hurricane Erin, which regained power after weakening over the weekend.

Hurricane Erin was a Category 4 storm again Monday morning and is expected to grow even larger and stronger, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Although Erin is forecast to move north between the U.S. and Bermuda, life-threatening surf and rip currents are likely across the Atlantic coast from Florida to Canada.
