The National Hurricane Center is watching two areas of interest in the Atlantic, one of which could become Tropical Storm Fernand this weekend. Here’s what you need to know.

It was a rough Thursday for beaches up and down the East Coast as Hurricane Erin made its closest pass. That included parts of New York and New Jersey, where ferocious waves pounded the coastline and triggered flooding that required some rescues. Watch this video for the latest.

Large, destructive waves spawned by Hurricane Erin slammed into homes and hotels in North Carolina’s Outer Banks Wednesday evening. See how three to four feet of storm surge overwhelmed streets and had people carefully trudging their way through floodwaters. The ocean overwash also caused North Carolina’s DOT to shut down a long stretch of Highway 12 between Oregon Inlet and Hatteras Village.

We’re keeping a close eye on a huge brush fire burning in the Florida Everglades. It’s nearly the size of Washington, D.C., and there’s very little containment so far as helicopters work to dump water on it. Watch this video for the latest information.

Drone footage is giving us a dramatic look at the early storm surge from Hurricane Erin in North Carolina’s barrier islands. Watch this video for the latest on how bad things are expected to get and see how waves have already surrounded and pushed past homes.
