Hurricane Erin rapidly strengthened into a Category 5 storm. It is not expected to make a direct hit on the U.S. but will create dangerous surf.

Hurricane Erin could 'at least double or triple in size' next week and the track has shifted south, but remains likely to turn away from the East Coast.

BUT LET’S GO OUT INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC, BECAUSE I DO WANT TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE WITH MAJOR HURRICANE AARON. THIS THING HAS RAPIDLY INTENSIFIED. IT WENT FROM A TROPICAL STORM YESTERDAY MORNING TO A CATEGORY FOUR,

The NHC said it currently expected Erin to become a Category 4 storm later Saturday but to eventually swerve away from the continental United States.
