Hurricane Erin recently swelled up to Category 5 storm which is the strongest category possible in the Caribbean on Saturday.
This means it could give rise to life-threatening surf and rip currents across the East Coast beaches early next week.
Erip quickly grew from a tropical storm to a hurricane in just one day with winds doubling to 160 mph on Saturday morning as per the National Hurricane Center.
Fox Weather meteorologist Cody Braud mentioned to The Post on Saturday that this storm would remain rather strong for the next couple of days and it’s literally up in the air as to how strong the winds could get.

Experts do predict it to grow three to five times the normal size by the middle of the week. While it might not directly hit the US, it’s impact would be felt across the East Coast.
