🚨 Nor’easter SLAMS NC to New Jersey | Highway 12 CLOSED, 24-Ft Seas & Coastal Flooding

04/11/2026 · USA Severe Weather

Descrição

A powerful nor’easter is battering North Carolina's Outer Banks, forcing the closure of Highway 12 between the Marc Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe as massive waves erode protective dunes. A mandatory evacuation order remains in effect for Hatteras Island visitors, while all three Ocracoke ferry routes are suspended. Several oceanfront homes in Rodanthe remain at risk of collapse.

The National Weather Service forecasts 2–4 feet of coastal flooding, 9–13-foot breaking waves along Hatteras Island, and offshore seas reaching 24 feet. Farther north, New Jersey and Delaware face repeated tidal flooding through midweek, with vulnerable coastal roads and back bays at risk. Stay informed with the latest nor’easter updates, Highway 12 closures, coastal flood warnings, evacuations, and ferry disruptions.
