Slow-Moving Nor'easter Closes Route 1 and Floods Delmarva Coast
A slow-moving nor'easter has battered the Maryland and Delaware coastlines with damaging winds, significant coastal flooding, and large surf. The storm prompted high wind and coastal flood warnings, causing the closure of Route 1 between Dewey Beach and Bethany Beach. Wind gusts reached 58 mph in southern Delaware, while waves up to 11 feet caused significant beach erosion and dune breaches. The Oceans Calling music festival in Ocean City, Maryland, was cancelled due to the severe conditions. Forecasters expect the storm's impact to persist through Sunday, with conditions gradually improving by Monday.
