Evacuations ordered as Hurricane Erin moves along East Coast

A warning up and down the east coast. Even though it is not expected to make landfall, do not take this storm lightly. Hurricane Aaron will make its closest approach to the coast around Wednesday or Thursday. Coastal flooding, dangerous surf, ocean overwash, and beach erosion are expected from Florida all the way up to Maine. Evacuations ordered along the Outer Banks in North Carolina as authorities warned that Hurricane Aaron could churn up dangerous rip currents and swamp roads with waves up to 15 ft. >> We recently came under a storm surge watch in Der County. 2 to 4 feet is about here on this pole. It could flood cars. It will flood roads. It'll put your life at risk. While some beachgoers are trying to enjoy the sun while it lasts, most residents and vacationers have hastily packed up to get out of North Carolina's barrier islands before the storm hits and the roads become impassible. >> But overall, it's a disappointment that we have to leave early, but but you know, more important is our family safety. >> The Pentagon today releasing these images of members of the Air Force Reserve hurricane hunters dropping ocean buoys from an airplane to gather data on the storm. Red flags out on beaches in Delaware and New Jersey where swimming is also banned due to the rough surf as Aaron inches northward. >> Please, please, please take this seriously. Particularly push back on complacency on the human nature of gosh, it's beautiful outside. Let's get let's sneak a a quick dip in the water. This is not the week to do that. >> The most dangerous effects are expected between this evening and Friday. The Outer Banks are especially vulnerable because we are practically at sea level.
