Hurricane Erin starts slog up East Coast
Digest more
A massive Hurricane Erin churns off the East Coast, bringing dangerous waves to vulnerable areas along the North Carolina coast. Here's the latest.
Hurricane Katrina killed 1,392 people, including 520 direct deaths, 341 of which were in Louisiana, according to an update from the National Hurricane Center in 2023. That number also includes 565 indirect deaths (mostly heart attacks) and 307 deaths of indeterminate cause.
Even though Erin will be well off shore, the shear large size of the storm will likely send tropical storm force winds (39 miles per hour or higher) into the Outer Banks and gusting tropical winds may also be felt on nearby mid-Atlantic beaches Wednesday into Friday.
