October 3 Ian Nor’easter: Rain And Wind Advisories: New Beach Flood Video From Ocean City
October 3, 2022
Monday Morning Update
The Ghost of former Hurricane Ian continues now as a stalled Nor’easter off the Mid Atlantic coast. It reformed yesterday and will continue to hit us a little longer with steady rain, gusty winds, and coastal flooding.
Additional rain totals are still high, and the winds this morning have upgraded the Wind Warning on the Bay Bridge to ‘Limited Restriction”. This means no empty box trailers can pass. We have a look at the live radar and wind forecast below.
The steady onshore flow has been expected to chomp away with more beach erosion, but it has also led to high water. Let’s start with new flood video:
