Drone footage is giving us a dramatic look at the early storm surge from Hurricane Erin in North Carolina’s barrier islands. Watch this video for the latest on how bad things are expected to get and see how waves have already surrounded and pushed past homes.

Hurricane Erin is expected to impact the Outer Banks in North Carolina, sending massive waves crashing into the islands.

The already sprawling storm will grow larger as it hurls the ocean toward the East Coast and Bermuda, and it could have company this week.

Hurricane Erin weakened to a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph as its outer bands pounded the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico with gusty winds and heavy rains early Sunday.

More than 33 million Americans were under coastal flood advisories on Aug 20 as Hurricane Erin head north toward the U.S. mainland.
