Five homes on North Carolina’s Outer Banks collapsed amid warnings of dangerous surf as a pair of hurricanes passed far off the U.S. East Coast, officials said Tuesday, and authorities in Bermuda said that the worst was yet to come.

Hurricane Imelda is not expected to make landfall in the U.S., but could still affect the East Coast. Here's the local impacts.

No tropical storm or hurricane watches or warnings are in effect for Florida. The National Weather Service said residents along Florida's east coast can expect: Hazardous conditions along the coast, with breaking waves of 6-10 feet. Life-threatening rip currents. Poor to dangerous boating conditions, with seas of 9 to 18 feet possible.

Hurricane Imelda formed Tuesday, and it could grow into a major Category 3 hurricane within 48 hours. Both Hurricanes Humberto and Imelda could affect Bermuda.

Hurricane Imelda formed on Tuesday as it moved away from Florida and the Bahamas with a path that could make a direct hit on Bermuda, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Imelda is expected to strengthen into a hurricane this week and bring flooding to parts of the Caribbean and the coastal Carolinas.
