Erin was a Category 3 hurricane Sunday morning, the National Hurricane Center said in its 8 a.m. update, with sustained winds of 125 mph, with tropical storm-force winds reaching out 205 miles.

Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, intensified into a dangerous Category 4 storm, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Saturday.

The storm will generate dangerous life-threatening surf and rip currents up almost "entire east coast" of the United States next week, said Mr Brennan.
