While Erin moved away from the Caribbean islands, it turns north, in sandwich between the Bermuda and the American coastal states in the middle of next week. The jet stream will finally distance him from the coast, but will also lead to a major expansion.

Not the 1st Hurricane Erin also near New York
THE 2025 Hurricane would not be the first named Erin to come several hundred kilometers from the New York metropolitan region.
The most notable Hurricane Erin formed in 2001. The category 3 storm was located about 500 miles southeast of New York while the September 11 attacks took place.
This year is the seventh time that Erin’s name has been used since the late 1980s, because none of the previous storms has caused enough damage to be removed.
The list of hurricanes names run every six years and some names are reused. The names are only removed when a storm causes catastrophic destruction, like Ida and Sandy.
