• A powerful nor’easter continues to impact the Northeast, causing widespread flooding and power outages for over 130,000 customers.
• The storm, which has lingered near Long Island and northern New Jersey, is bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and dangerous surf to coastal areas from New Jersey to New England.

Impact & Risks

The storm has caused significant disruptions, including power outages, flooding, and travel delays. Coastal communities in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut are particularly vulnerable to tidal flooding during high tide cycles. Downed trees have damaged homes and vehicles, while emergency crews have been deployed to rescue stranded individuals. The storm’s impact is reminiscent of past severe weather events, though it is not expected to reach the scale of Superstorm Sandy.
