The center of Erin is forecast to move over the western Atlantic between the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda on Wednesday and Thursday. With Erin's predicted storm surge and waves of over 10 feet, the National Weather Service advised people along the East Coast to stay out of the ocean to avoid deadly surf conditions expected through at least Thursday. Tropical storm conditions were forecast to arrive by Wednesday evening or night, the National Hurricane Center said. Lifeguards have already rescued dozens of people from the churning waters along East Coast beaches even as Erin remains hundreds of miles offshore.

Deportation of 6-year-old student sparks uproar
A 6-year-old student and her family were deported just before the start of the school year in New York, a case sparking uproar across the state − including from the governor and officials in the nation's largest public school system.
What happened: The Ecuadorian family, who sought asylum in the country after arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in December 2022, were among migrants detained in controversial tactics by the Trump administration while attending routine immigration court hearings or ICE check-ins.
Detained at check-in: The second-grade New York City public school student went with her mother and older brother on Aug. 12 to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement check-in at a federal building in lower Manhattan when agents detained them, a family lawyer told USA TODAY. New York City officials confirmed the student and her mother, who were living in Queens, were deported the morning of Aug. 19.
A family separated across states: The child and mother were sent to the newly reopened South Texas Family Residential Center, a privately run family detention facility in Dilley, Texas, leaving behind the family's two other children.
NYC schools in the spotlight: The case reaffirms fears about students and families targeted by immigration enforcement as the new school year commences.
The state banned phones in class. This teacher saw instant change.'Today, all of my students, 100% of them, took notes in my class, did their assignment, asked for help when they got stuck and turned it in, and then when they were done, they talked to each other. I have been pulling my hair out for like, eight years. Has it been this easy of a solution the whole time?'
~ Jonathan Buchwalter, a Tuscaloosa County High School 11th grade history teacher, in an Aug. 8 TikTok that reached nearly 2 million views. When Alabama enacted a new law keeping phones out of classrooms for the 2025-2026 school year, Buchwalter noticed immediate impact.

A lot of Americans would probably say dollars over adoration. Although the median U.S. annual salary is about $62,192, Americans on average expect their ideal partner to earn six figures, a new survey found. On average, women want their ideal partner to earn $110,000 while men expect theirs to earn $90,000, according to a Tawkify survey of 1,000 Americans. Those unemployed in a rough job market may find more trouble in their love life. Nearly half of Americans report they would not date someone without a job, even if they were attracted to them.
Some call it "marrying up." Others call it "gold digging."
