WATCH: Air Force plane flies through eye of Hurricane Erin

Hurricane Erin, a Category 4 storm with sustained winds more 220 km/h, is churning the Atlantic Ocean into wave chaos).

Wave forecast models show significant wave heights exceeding 15 metres (50 feet), with the largest, individual wave possibly topping 30 metres (100 feet). That’s the size of a 10-storey building.

Coastlines won’t see waves nearly this high, but the storm’s massive footprint means the U.S. East Coast, and even parts of Atlantic Canada, will still feel its power through dangerous surf, minor coastal flooding, and possible erosion.
