Nor'easter Causes Flooding and Power Outages in Northeast U.S.
A powerful nor'easter storm moved slowly along the U.S. Northeast coast, causing coastal flooding, high winds, heavy rain, and power outages affecting around 100,000 customers at its peak. The National Weather Service warned of dangerous conditions with high tides expected to worsen over the weekend in areas like New Jersey's Atlantic City region. The storm disrupted daily life across multiple states, including Long Island and coastal communities in New Jersey and Maryland. Businesses faced damage from flooding, while residents reported vehicles stuck on roads and boats lost due to rising waters. Governor Kathy Hochul of New York issued strong warnings about the dangers of being near water during the storm. Numerous events were canceled or rescheduled as a result of the weather, including flights at Boston Logan International Airport, concerts by Ed Sheeran in Massachusetts, an Ironman triathlon in New York, and music festivals in Maryland. Sports teams also adjusted their schedules to avoid disruptions.
