00:00North Carolina's Highway 12 could once again become impassable as ocean water washes across the road.
00:06A new nor'easter is forecast to bring days of strong winds, beach erosion, and coastal flooding to the mid
00:12-Atlantic coast.
00:13The greatest concerns include the Outer Banks, southeastern Virginia, and beach communities in Maryland and Delaware.
00:20Wind gusts could reach 60 miles per hour, with locally stronger gusts near 70.
00:25But wind is only part of the threat.
00:27The slow-moving storm could push water several feet above normal, invulnerable coastal areas, flooding low-lying streets and repeatedly
00:35affecting roads during high tides.
00:37Offshore, waves could average 15 to 25 feet, disrupting marine traffic and creating dangerous conditions near coastal inlets.
00:46Even Florida's Atlantic beaches could face heavy surf and stronger rip currents.
00:51Forecasters say this storm may be less severe overall than September's nor'easter.
00:55But its slow movement could make repeated coastal flooding a serious problem.
