Hurricane Erin explodes in strength to a Category 5 storm in the Atlantic near Caribbean islands
While the compact hurricane’s center was not expected to strike land, it threatened to dump flooding rains in the northeast Caribbean.
Forecasters said Erin should begin to slowly weaken as it increased wind shear. However, it's predicted to remain a major hurricane until late next week.
