New York and New Jersey — along with most East Coast states — are facing threats of life-threatening rip currents and massive waves from Hurricane Erin as the massive Category 2 cyclone continues to churn off the coast. The warnings extend from Georgia all the way to Atlantic Canada, and forecasters predicted waves up to 20 feet high in some areas as the hurricane continues its slow-moving trip north — despite the storm being hundreds of miles from shore. Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 season, weakened from a Category 4 behemoth to a Category 2 overnight but is still ripping sustained gusts of more than 100 miles per hour on Tuesday, according to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center.
