As I've mentioned in a previous blog, a nor'easter is taking aim on the already ravaged coastline hit by Hurricane Sandy. On Election day, the system affected part of the South with rain and thunderstorms, but is not making its way North towards the coast of New Jersey. Enough rain may fall along the Atlantic coast to cause minor flooding problems where there may be street and highway flooding due to storm drains being blocked with sand and other debris. As the rain continues to move north into colder air, heavy snow may fall in some areas. In addition to rain and snow, strong winds will hit the coast again gusting at 50 to 55 mph. Winds of this magnitude can easily topple trees that are already damaged over and toss debris around making it dangerous. With all the progress already made after Hurricane Sandy hit, this nor-easter may undo some of the progress made by power companies and public workers.
