Hurricane Erin shows threat posed even by storms that pass far away
Hurricane Erin, which continues to churn its way through the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of the United States, serves as keen reminder that the centre of a large hurricane does not have to come close to a particular location to cause significant damage.
The first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, Erin is expected to be what is known as a ‘fish storm,’ meaning the centre of the hurricane will stay far away from land areas. That doesn’t mean the storm won’t pose a threat to any land masses, however.
This is something Cayman residents have learned in the past – and is the current reality for many residents of coastal North Carolina.
