The January 1992 nor`easter was the second in a series of nor`easters in a 14 month period that produced strong winds, high tides, and flooding along the East Coast of the United States. It was a small, short-lived storm that was poorly-forecast, intensifying rapidly on January 4 before striking the Eastern Shore of Virginia. The strongest quadrant of the storm moved over Delaware, and winds in the state reached 58 mph (93 km/h). The nor`easter weakened as it moved westward, and it dissipated over Virginia before the energy reformed and redeveloped offshore.
