Flooding and beach erosion causes possible power outages!


A storm destined to bring a swath of heavy snow from Minneapolis and Chicago to Washington, D.C., will cause problems at the coast from wind, beach erosion and coastal flooding.
While the storm will not nearly be as intense as Sandy, the Blizzard of '93, the Perfect Storm (Halloween Storm of '91), or the Ash Wednesday Storm of '62, it will cause problems for some interests along the coast.
