Hurricane Erin threatens the East Coast with severe surf and winds, and evacuations have been ordered for parts of North Carolina. Here are the latest updates.

NCDOT officials said "given the winds, wave heights and storm surge forecast, it likely won't be enough" to keep NC 12 from flooding at the Outer Banks.

Mandatory evacuation orders for Hatteras Island and Ocracoke Island have been issued due to possible impacts from Hurricane Erin and will start to go into effect Monday.

At 11 a.m. ET, the eye of Hurricane Erin was located near latitude 30.1 North, longitude 73.7 West. Erin is moving toward the north near 13 mph. A turn toward the north-northeast is expected later today and tonight,
