Nor’easter Brings Flooding and Power Outages to U.S. Northeast
A powerful Nor’easter struck the U.S. Northeast on September 25, 2026, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and widespread flooding from North Carolina to Maine (Center for Disaster Philanthropy, 2026). The storm caused significant disruptions, including flooded roads, power outages affecting 200,000 homes and businesses, and the cancellation of hundreds of flights. Emergency crews conducted rescues in New Jersey and New York, where floodwaters reached waist-high levels. Wind speeds of up to 80 mph were recorded in multiple states, exacerbating the storm's impact. States of emergency were declared in New York and New Jersey to address the crisis.
