Nor’easter floods coastal northeast | CNN

A strong, early season nor'easter has arrived in the Northeast and flooded some coastal towns. This is what it looks like in affected areas.

CNN's Derek Van Dam reports from Scituate, Massachusetts, where waves are intensifying as a strong nor'easter bears down on the Northeast coast.

A stubborn nor'easter is bringing gusty winds, periods of heavy rain and moderate to major coastal flooding — enough to inundate roads and vulnerable homes — from Virginia to New England.

Meteorologist Derek Van Dam reports as the nor’easter’s wave action sweeps against seawalls in Scituate, Massachusetts.

Video shows waves surging across cracked North Carolina Highway 12 after ocean water spilled over protective sand dunes in the Outer Banks as a nor'easter starts to batter the Mid-Atlantic coast. The storm has brought coastal flooding from North Carolina to New Jersey since Wednesday, with conditions expected to worsen through the weekend as wind gusts reach up to 60 mph and some areas see up to 5 inches of rain.
