Hurricane Erin, the first named hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, has weakened to a Category 3 storm after briefly reaching catastrophic Category 5 intensity. With winds up to 125 mph, Erin continues to threaten the Caribbean and US coastal regions with heavy rain, flash floods, and life-threatening rip currents. FEMA and Caribbean authorities are on high alert as climate change fuels rapid storm intensification.
