Scripps News on MSNHurricane Erin forecast to churn up dangerous swells and winds from Florida to New England
Hurricane Erin is expected to brush the coast of North Carolina on Wednesday, forcing officials to issue warnings and evacuation notices.
Two more tropical systems trail Hurricane Erin, which is following a projected course that brushes past the East Coast without making landfall.
By Tuesday morning, Erin had lost some strength from previous days and dropped to a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph (175 kph), the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
