Hurricane Erin: Natureās 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, Erinās swagger rivaled a Category 5 rampageāthough it wisely stayed at Category 2. As the National Weather Service noted, the storm is basically the Atlanticās rude guest overstaying its welcome for days.

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.
Erinās tidal flood warnings practically read like a breakup tweet: 'Itās not you, itās the Category 5-class mood swings.' Spoiler: itās 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.
