Aug. 16 Hurricane Erin is now a Category 4 storm, rapidly intensifying overnight into early Saturday morning as it moves closer to the U.S. East Coast with sustained winds up to 155 mph.
The storm was located approximately 235 miles east-northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and 105 miles north of Anguilla and other northern Leeward Islands, as of the latest update from the National Hurricane Center, issued at 11 a.m. AST Saturday.
The storm is expected to skirt those islands rather than hit them directly, which could bring strong winds and up to six inches of rain through the day Saturday.
