Avon Fishing Pier in the Outer Banks felt the effects of Hurricane Erin Wednesday afternoon. Erin is expected to make the highest impact in the Outer Banks on Thursday, with some heavy tropical downpours possible at times. The storm will stay offshore, so it won't be a huge rainmaker, but it will cause major flooding concerns. Video credit: Kristin Taylor | WTKR News 3
