Nor’easter SMASHES East Coast: 84,600 Homes Without Power!
A staggering 84,600 homes and businesses are without power across the Northeast, with New Jersey, Connecticut, and Long Island hit the hardest. The nor'easter, a powerful storm, is unleashing major coastal flooding, damaging winds, and heavy rain from the Carolinas to southern New England. With wind gusts topping 60 mph, over 400 flights have been canceled, and thousands are bracing for the worst. In New York, the Jersey Shore is seeing water rise more than 3 feet above the normal high-tide mark, and people are kayaking to subway stations. Governors have issued emergency declarations, and 20 million people are under coastal flood warnings. As the storm moves toward the Jersey Shore, forecasters warn that flooding could return with Saturday night's high tide. Stay safe by avoiding floodwaters, moving cars to high ground, and reporting downed power lines. With the nor'easter expected to weaken slowly, residents are left to wonder when they'll have power back. As the storm continues to batter the East Coast, families are left to pick up the pieces.
