Hurricane Erin is forcing evacuations on North Carolina’s Outer Banks as it threatens to whip up wild waves and tropical force winds. Forecasters say the monster storm will turn away from the eastern U.S. and won’t make landfall. But they predict it will churn up dangerous rip currents along North Carolina’s barrier islands and could swamp roads with waves of up to 15 feet. Coastal flooding is expected to begin Tuesday and continue through Thursday on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Erin was a Category 2 hurricane with 110 mph winds Tuesday morning.

President Donald Trump said he’s begun arrangements for a face-to-face meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to discuss a pathway to end Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trump also affirmed that the U.S. would back European security guarantees but stopped short of committing U.S. troops to a collective effort to prevent Moscow from reinvading its neighbor. Trump also has threatened to upend U.S. elections, getting rid of both mail voting and the voting machines used nearly nationwide. Based on the Constitution, U.S. elections are managed by the states, and there is little to no way for Trump to change this.

Hurricane Erin is pelting parts of the Caribbean and is forecast to create dangerous surf and rip currents along the U.S. East Coast this week. Forecasters are confident that Erin will turn northeast and away from the eastern U.S. But the National Hurricane Center in Miami says Erin is still expected to churn up dangerous waves and rip currents and could bring tropical force winds to North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Evacuations are being ordered on a few islands along the Outer Banks even though the storm is unlikely to make direct landfall. The storm intensified again to a Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds Monday.

The measles outbreak in West Texas has ended, state health officials said on Monday, after meeting the criteria of six weeks since the last reported case. Texas is now shifting focus to vaccination campaigns to strengthen immunity and prevent future outbreaks, the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) said. The outbreak, which began in late January, led to 762 confirmed cases as of August 18, with 99 hospitalizations and two fatalities in school-aged children, according to the state’s health department. Texas led a surge in cases nationally, with the United States recording its largest outbreak since the disease was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. While the Texas DSHS will continue to monitor the cases, it has decided to discontinue its interactive outbreak dashboard. “The end of this outbreak does not mean the threat of measles is over. Since there are ongoing outbreaks of measles in North America and around the world, it is likely that there will be additional cases of measles this year in Texas,” the DSHS said. Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that causes symptoms such as fever, cough and a characteristic rash. It can also lead to severe complications like pneumonia and encephalitis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 1,356 confirmed measles cases nationally as of August 5, but the updates have been delayed following the August 8 shooting on its Atlanta headquarters, the CDC said. “We remain in close communication with public health partners and jurisdictions reporting measles and will resume regular data updates as soon as possible,” a CDC spokesperson said.
