Hurricane Erin's outer bands were beginning to lash the southeast Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands early Monday after regaining Category 4 strength overnight.

Hurricane Erin shocked experts with how fast it became a powerful storm in the Atlantic Ocean. The US Air Force even flew into its eye and shared a dramatic video. Right now, Erin is far from land, but forecasters say people should stay alert as the hurricane could still bring strong winds,

Hurricane Erin has developed into a category 5 hurricane as of Saturday morning, according to the National Hurricane Center.
