Cold & warm air collision

A nor'easter's storm surge can rival a Category 1 hurricane!

NOAA notes slow-moving nor'easters hitting multiple high tides can push 4–5 ft of surge onto coastlines — matching a Cat. 1 hurricane's impact, but with far less advance warning than a named tropical storm.

The 1993 'Storm of the Century' nor'easter caused $5.5B in damage!

NOAA records the 1993 nor'easter as one of the costliest winter storms in U.S. history, killing 318 people across 26 states. Adjusted for inflation, that $5.5B equals roughly $11B today — a reminder of the massive economic toll major nor'easters can bring.
