Nor'easter Brings Winds, Flooding to DC Area
A powerful nor'easter is impacting the Washington D.C. area and the broader Mid-Atlantic region with strong winds and heavy rain. Wind gusts have reached up to 50 mph, causing downed tree limbs and power outages. The storm has also led to significant coastal and bayside flooding, particularly during high-tide cycles, as onshore winds prevent normal water drainage. The storm's peak impacts are expected to subside by late Sunday night, with residual rain and high surf lingering into Monday. The storm's center is moving northward, directing its strongest winds toward New Jersey and New York, but the Mid-Atlantic remains under its influence.
