Nor'easters are named for the direction winds blow FROM!

These fierce coastal storms drive winds from the northeast, hammering the East Coast with rain, snow & massive waves for days. Track the current storm at weather.gov

Nor'easters cost the U.S. over $1 billion in damages per year.

NOAA data shows winter storms average $1.7B in annual U.S. losses. The 1993 'Storm of the Century' nor'easter alone caused ~$5.5B in damage and killed more than 300 people across the East Coast.
