Thousands of people are without power in Puerto Rico as Hurricane Erin batters the Caribbean. The storm is expected to bring rough conditions along the East Coast. CBS News New York's Ali Bauman reports.

Erin is forecast to become a major hurricane and cruise the waters between Bermuda and the United States next week. Even if a direct hit does not occur in the U.S., seas and surf will pose serious threats to coastal areas.

Hurricane Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, could bring dangerous rip currents to Maryland’s Eastern Shore next week while most likely remaining offshore.
