The left-wing media is gnashing their teeth because the storm passed
Alligator Alcatraz without incident and they can't attack Trump.

RODANTHE, N.C. (AP) rCo Hurricane Erin kicked up big waves Thursday along
the mid-Atlantic coast and began a slow march out to sea after pelting
North CarolinarCOs Outer Banks with strong winds and swells that flooded a
few places on the barrier islands.

The storm will continue to bring the threat of dangerous rip currents
and coastal flooding into the weekend from the Carolinas to New England
even as forecasters predict it will gradually weaken. Despite being
twice the size of an average hurricane, Erin so far has managed to
thread the needle through the Atlantic between the East Coast and
several island nations, limiting its destructiveness.

Damage assessments were still underway on the Outer Banks and more
flooding could come during high tide Thursday evening. But it appeared
the low-lying islands dodged widespread trouble during its initial brush
with Erin on Wednesday.

A tropical storm warning remained active on the island of Bermuda, where residents and tourists were told to stay out of the water through
Friday. The tropical storm warning along the coast of North Carolina was changed to a storm surge warning to reflect the threat of rising water,
while the one along VirginiarCOs coast had been discontinued.
