Nor'easter Brings High Surf and Flood Alerts to Atlantic Coast as Another Storm Risk Is Watched
Photo: CBS NewsA nor'easter kicked up massive waves along the Atlantic coast on Monday, putting more than 8 million people from the Jersey Shore to Florida under alerts for coastal flooding and high surf. Meteorologists are also monitoring the risk of another coastal storm developing off the southeastern US early next week, with the Mid-Atlantic potentially in its path. That has raised concern about a storm similar to the powerful nor'easter that struck the East Coast in late September. The potential threat comes after a quiet hurricane season so far along the East Coast.
