By Rishabh Jaiswal, Preetika Parashuraman and Rajveer Pardesi (Reuters) -Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, has been downgraded to Category 3, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said early on Sunday,

After pummeling the Caribbean as a Category 3 hurricane over the weekend, Hurricane Erin has restrengthened to a Category 4 and is expected to bring life-threatening waves and rip currents up and down the East Coast.

U.S. shores are unlikely to see a direct hit, but a strong offshore hurricane can produce massive and dangerous waves well away from its center.
