NextImg:Massive Storm Expected to Make Landfall in US in Less Than 24 Hours

Weather forecasters were predicting that a massive storm would soon make landfall on the East Coast of the United States.

The system could reach the status of a tropical storm, according to The New York Times. If so, it would be named Ophelia.

It’s expected that its repercussions could impact the weather from North Carolina to New England, spanning roughly half of the nation’s Eastern Seaboard, starting Friday.

The National Weather Service warned that the effects of the storm could prove dangerous to both life and property.

“There is a possibility of life-threatening inundation from rising water moving inland from the coastline,” it said Thursday.

“That’s especially true around Virginia Beach, the North Carolina Outer Banks and along the Chesapeake Bay.”

“That’s where a storm surge of 3 feet or more is possible, due to strong onshore flow that will pile water against the coast.”
