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.
