Nor'easter Strengthens 200 Miles off Cape Hatteras as 25-Foot Waves Threaten East Coast

1 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Sep 25

A strengthening nor’easter was centered about 200 miles east of Cape Hatteras early Friday, with forecasters warning of major coastal impacts starting Friday night.
15-to-25-foot waves offshore, along with rain and strong winds, are expected to lash the coast from the Carolinas to Maine and drive serious coastal flooding and beach erosion.
New Jersey to Massachusetts faces the most significant coastal impacts, and the storm is forecast to drift north over the next few days.
By Sunday, the system may approach or push ashore in New Jersey, extending a multiday threat along a broad stretch of the East Coast.
