The National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Warning for all of the state of Rhode Island including Block Island as Hurricane Sandy makes its way north, and with an expected 3- to 6-foot storm surge, the images captured by these Web Cams at Block Island's Spring House Hotel should be dramatic. Images from this trio of cams update automatically every 15 seconds.

The waters of Long Island Sound are already high at 11 a.m. on October 29, and the view is ominous from this Web cam in Quaker Hill, Connecticut, looking out over Smith Cove. Connecticut officials are warning of unprecedented coastal flooding as the "Frankenstorm" coincides with a full moon high tide.
Gloucester Web Cam

Like the "Perfect Storm" of 1991, Hurricane Sandy is a hybrid storm of immense proportions and catastrophic potential. In Gloucester, Massachusetts, where six fishermen perished in the storm made famous by Sebastian Junger's book and the movie it inspired, this live harbor cam will show how Gloucester fares in this storm.
