Hurricane Erin is entering the first stages of a post-tropical transition as it continues to move away from the eastern coast of the United States.

North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein is in Dare County Friday to size up the damage Erin left behind. When speaking to media, he noted that while the storm left an impact, it could have been much worse.

Hurricane Erin is moving away from the U.S. coast. Surf and seas remain a problem for our North Carolina beaches as summer vacations continue.

North Carolina expects coastal flooding from massive waves, tropical-storm-force winds and tidal and storm surges for much of the state shoreline, especially the Outer Banks, as well as life-threatening rip currents for most of the week, Stein said, adding, "No one should be in the ocean."

In the aftermath of Hurricane Erin's brush past the Outer Banks, North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein is visiting Buxton on Friday to thank first responders and to assess the damage caused.

Strong waves from Hurricane Erin knocked a North Carolina man off his feet on Wednesday as he filmed the impacts of the storm brewing in the Atlantic Ocean.

North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein will make an appearance in Dare County on Friday, Aug. 22, at 1:30 p.m. to assess the damage from Hurricane Erin and address the public.
