In Hawaii, Hurricane Nolo approaches, the fourth storm to impact the state this year.
At the same time, the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are hunkering down for a powerful storm that could bring heavy flooding and strong winds.

I've already been seeing these videos of huge waves crashing against the coastlines in New Jersey.
Francis Tarasziewicz is a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Boston.
He's expecting coastal flooding, heavy rain, and really high winds this weekend.
Wind gusts along the coast will be between 50 and 60 miles per hour.
Paired with those fully leaved trees, as we are still in late September, we may see some instances of power outages across much of southern New England.
And we'll see impacts, Scott, from the Mid-Atlantic all the way up through the coast of Maine.
He said the worst of the storm is expected to hit areas in Massachusetts, Long Island, Connecticut.
There's actually two interesting things about this storm that Tarasziewicz pointed out.
Really, the unique feature of it is that it's, A, long duration, and then, B, it's, it's quite early in the season.
So the storm is expected to last straight through the weekend, 48 hours, but we're actually not that far away from a normal nor'easter season, which is October through May.
And, uh, at the same time, out in the Pacific, we're seeing hurricanes near Hawaii.
