Top near misses of catastrophic hurricanes Hurricane Erin, which peaked as a major Category 5 hurricane with 160-mph winds north of Anguilla on Aug. 16, is now in the rearview. The huge storm was over 500 miles wide and brought colossal surf with waves up to 45 feet offshore, coastal flooding from Puerto Rico to the Outer Banks and cloud cover from Raleigh to Boston. #HurricaneNearMisses #CoastalImpactEvents #StormSurgeRisk
