The Nor'easter storm that is crawling up the east coast brought in historic sea levels and flooding into Charleston Bay on Sunday, Fox Weather reported.

"The National Weather Service office in Charleston said the tide in the Charleston Harbor peaked at 9.86 feet (mean lower low water) just before noon local time," said the report. "Not only is that the highest tide on record not associated with a tropical cyclone, but it's topped only by Hurricane Hugo in 1989, an unnamed hurricane in 1940 and Hurricane Irma in 2017."

WSOC-TV reported the 1989 storm topped 12.52 feet and 1940 levels were 10.23 feet. In total, the tide levels were the fourth largest of all, even during hurricanes.

CNN gave an update explaining that while some storms tend to lose strength over time, this one is actually getting worse. There are 60 million people who will be impacted by flash flooding from the Carolinas all the way to Maine.

Behind the storm is another one coming from the northern Midwest that will bring freezing temperatures and snow after the floods.
