Hurricane Erin forces evacuations on North Carolina's Outer Banks, threatens dangerous rip currents
Hurricane Erin is forcing evacuations on North Carolina's Outer Banks as it threatens to whip up wild waves and tropical force winds.
Local officials issued evacuation orders for parts of the Outer Banks, warning that the storm might wash out roads.
Ron Fisher captured this video at Atlantic Beach, North Carolina a few miles south of Fort Macon the evening of Hurricane Ern's approach. Swimmers are ordered to stay out of the water due to life-threatening rip currents.
