By Carole Tanzer Miller HealthDay ReporterTUESDAY, Aug. 19, 2025 (HealthDay News) — Forecasters say it will bypass a direct hit on the continental U.S., but the first hurricane of 2025 — Erin — is a strong reminder to have an emergency plan and know what to do if severe weather strikes. Hurricane season runs through Nov. 30.

Erin is the fifth named storm to develop during the Atlantic hurricane season, which started just over two months ago. Last week, Tropical Storm Dexter formed in the western Atlantic but didn't pose a threat to land. In early July, Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall on the Carolina coast, bringing deadly flooding to the region.

Hurricane Erin continues to push further into the Caribbean Sea. But will it hit the United States? Here's what to know.

HOUSTON — Hurricane Erin has strengthened into the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season and is expected to pass near or just north of the northern Leeward Islands this weekend, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricanes are large storms. While a hurricane wouldn’t still be at hurricane strength if it tracked to Michigan, the storm can have a big influence on our weather. In fact, even hurricanes that come nowhere near Michigan will influence our weather.

Dramatic aerial footage shows storm surge flooding homes and a motel in North Carolina’s Outer Banks on Aug. 19 as Hurricane Erin battered the coast. Officials ordered evacuations in Dare County, warning of life-threatening winds and rising waters.

The New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board announced Wednesday that a turbine that services the city is down during peak hurricane season. According to the S&WB, Turbine 5 is out of service and is not expected to be repaired for another two weeks.

The sixth-named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will be Fernand. Fernand? If you're thinking to pronounce it based on memories of that Ferdinand the bull story from childhood, think again, since you'd be wrong.
