Hurricane Erin's large and expanding wind field will bring storm-driven waves, coastal erosion, and high seas, particularly impacting the Outer Banks.
Officials are urging visitors to begin evacuating at 10 a.m. Monday from Hurricane Evacuation Zone A, which includes the unincorporated villages of Rodanthe, Waves, Salvo, Avon, Buxton, Frisco and Hatteras. Residents are to begin evacuating at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
Hatteras Island was evacuated on the morning September 10, with the rest of Dare County ordered to evacuate the next day. The storm suddenly shifted southwest over the night of September 11 and ended up making landfall further south, but the evacuation order remained.
