Nor'easter keeps North Carolina 12 closed in Outer Banks

Original: @ ai6yr @ BakerRL75 Nor’easter keeps N.C. 12 closed as coastal flood warnings continue in the Outer Banks, U.S. Coastal

A nor'easter offshore of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic coast is keeping highway N.C. 12 closed, with coastal flood warnings in effect for Hatteras and Ocracoke islands in the Outer Banks as of October 21. Continued flooding from the storm is cutting off access along the barrier islands, and residents and weather watchers are tracking how long the closure and warnings will last.

Why now: A prolonged nor'easter is causing coastal flooding and isolating communities in the Outer Banks.
