Nor’easter Floods Northeast, Over 100,000 Without Power
A powerful nor’easter is causing significant disruption across the Northeast, with coastal flooding, heavy rain, and strong winds impacting the region. As of Sunday morning, over 100,000 homes and businesses are without power, with the hardest-hit areas including New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. The storm, which has already claimed one life in New York City, is expected to linger for another 24 hours, bringing additional tidal flooding during high tide cycles. The National Weather Service has identified northern New Jersey, New York City, Long Island, and southern New England as areas likely to experience the heaviest rainfall. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has activated response coordination centers and deployed teams to New England in preparation for further impacts. Travel disruptions are widespread, with flight cancellations and road closures reported across the region.
