FOX Weather Exclusive Storm Tracker Mark Sudduth has a camera pointed at a street located in Bowers Beach, Delaware, on Sunday. As high tide approaches around noon, the camera may be submerged in water.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, the nor’easter created a combination of strong onshore winds, high surf and high astronomical tides, likely to cause moderate to major coastal flooding in Delaware coastal areas. 

Another camera set up by Sudduth in Buxton, North Carolina, showed water surrounding a home at risk of collapsing from the coastal flooding and rough surf.
