The wider storm
The center of Hurricane Erin stayed several hundred miles east of the Middle Atlantic coast on August 21, 2025. However, due the extremely large size of the cyclone with an expansive wind field, tropical storm force gusts occurred over the coastal waters, lower/middle Chesapeake Bay, and the Lower James River.
