Severe Nor’easter Batters Northeastern U.S. with Heavy Rain and High Winds

A powerful autumn storm battered the Northeastern U.S. on Saturday, bringing heavy rain and strong winds that forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights and left tens of thousands without electricity.

New York, Boston, and Philadelphia bore the brunt of the nor’easter, as authorities warned of potential major flooding and road closures.

The National Weather Service warned the storm would bring major coastal flooding to the mid-Atlantic coast over multiple high tide cycles through the weekend.

Officials urged immediate preparation for significant inundation in low-lying shore areas, with roads expected underwater and impacts to homes and businesses.
