High tides raise flood risk in Carolinas as tropical storms churn

An unnamed nor’easter will lash the East Coast this holiday weekend, pushing coastal flooding from South Carolina to New Jersey and threatening 60 mph gusts in New York City. Charleston saw flooding close more than two dozen roads, with a tide of 8.46 feet, the 13th highest in over a century of records. Outer Banks officials warned N.C. 12 may close due to overwash. Tropical Storm Jerry drenched the northern Leewards; eight people were rescued in Guadeloupe and one remained missing. Subtropical Storm Karen formed to the north, while Pacific storms Priscilla and Raymond threatened Mexico and the U.S. Southwest.
