On September 23, a developing nor’easter resulted in significant coastal flooding, intense surf, and strong winds across the mid-Atlantic region, particularly affecting areas in Norfolk, Virginia, where water levels rose between 1 to 2 feet. Cape Henry experienced wind gusts of 51 mph, and offshore buoys reported wave heights surpassing 13 feet. In North Carolina's Outer Banks, teams took action to strengthen dunes in anticipation of forecasted coastal inundation of 2 to 4 feet in at-risk zones. Over the past year, more than 21 homes have been lost to the sea along Highway 12. The storm is projected to intensify as it approaches the Northeast coastline this weekend.
