Nor’easter Storm Weakens After Causing Flooding and Power Outages in the US
A powerful Nor’easter storm has caused significant disruption across the Mid-Atlantic and New England states in the United States. Heavy rains, strong winds, and coastal flooding have been reported, with one confirmed fatality in Brooklyn, New York, due to a falling tree. The storm has led to widespread power outages, with approximately 14,000 customers in the Mid-Atlantic and 12,000 in New England still without electricity as of 8:00 am ET. Coastal communities, including Sea Bright and Atlantic City in New Jersey and Long Island, have experienced flooding and beach erosion. The storm is expected to weaken as it moves northeastward into the Gulf of Maine, with rain tapering off by late Tuesday morning.
