And The Hits Keep On Coming For The Northeast

From the Baltimore Sun: A nor'easter appears poised to rumble over Maryland next week, as residents on the state's eastern and western edges are still shoveling out snow and sand from this week's massive storm.
The nor'easter could swoop across the state as early as Wednesday, spilling an inch or two of rain and pushing seawater onto a coastline already saturated by Sandy, a hurricane turned post-tropical cyclone.
"If we didn't just have Sandy, we'd probably still be talking about the chance of minor coastal flooding," said Kristina Pydynowski, a senior meteorologist with Accuweather. "When you see those strong offshore winds, there is the possibility of coastal flooding and additional beach erosion."
Forecast maps show a low-pressure system moving Monday from the South Carolina coast to the northeast out at sea for Election Day, before taking a path similar to Sandy's toward the Delmarva Peninsula and New York areas Wednesday and Thursday.
Forecasters said the nor'easter would not be of the magnitude of Sandy, which smashed into New Jersey and New York, leaving more than 60 dead across the eastern seaboard, destroying seaside towns and paralyzing parts of Manhattan and the other boroughs. However, a new round of rain and storm-swollen tides could be devastating in areas still struggling to clean up from the storm.  http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/weather/weather-blog/bs-md-noreaster-looms-20121102,0,3197505.story
My guess that those who don't have electricity by next will have to wait longer to be hooked again.  And the houses that have been damaged by the wind or flooding will probably get some more damage.
And the hits just keep on coming.
