Hurricane Erin: Nature’s Angriest Jersey Shore Party Crasher
Hurricane Erin decided to throw the worst block party the East Coast never wanted, battering North Carolina's Outer Banks before unleashing 'life-threatening' surf and rip tides as warned by the National Hurricane Center. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency as the Jersey Shore braced for 'major flooding' Thursday night. With 8 to 15 ft waves crashing on Dare County, Erin’s swagger rivaled a Category 5 rampage—though it wisely stayed at Category 2. As the National Weather Service noted, the storm is basically the Atlantic’s rude guest overstaying its welcome for days.

(1 of 3)Hurricane Erin's out here proving Mother Nature has a worse Yelp review than the Jersey Shore after a frat party. Flood warnings, 15-ft waves, and zero apologies. Even Phil Murphy said, 'No swimming,' which is fairy tale-level scary.
Erin’s tidal flood warnings practically read like a breakup tweet: 'It’s not you, it’s the Category 5-class mood swings.' Spoiler: it’s definitely you, Jersey Shore.
Who needs a travel agent when Hurricane Erin plans your entire East Coast itinerary? Step 1: evacuate. Step 2: survive. Step 3: never visit a beach again.
