Hurricane Erin is one of the largest storms to ever pass the Eastern Seaboard — stretching more than 500 miles wide as the behemoth cyclone churns up 80-foot waves.
Erin, the first major hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, was described as “near historical” by Fox Weather meteorologist Jarrod Maloney.
Maloney said Erin’s sheer size ranks it among the 10% biggest hurricanes ever recorded in the Atlantic and it’s only expected to widen as it heads northeast.
“It is larger than most storms,” Maloney said. “This area of the Atlantic has larger-sized storms than other parts of the Atlantic, larger than the Gulf of Mexico.”
Erin mercifully did not make landfall and is not forecast to, but the storm still left swaths of the East Coast on high alert as huge waves crashed ashore.
