States in the northeast are taking extra precautions this week as they brace for a nor'easter that is expected to bring high winds and flooding.
Wind gusts exceeded 30 mph on Oct. 12 and were expected to pick up further as the storm hits the East Coast. The National Weather Service has also issued a coastal flood warning and wind advisory with winds potentially reaching 50 mph. Water is projected to reach two to three feet of inundation above ground level in areas near shorelines and waterways.
