A powerful nor'easter has caused coastal flooding and knocked out power to parts of the northeastern United States, with forecasters warning that tens of millions of people remained in the storm's path.
The system was forecast to continue affecting the mid-Atlantic region and New England throughout the weekend, bringing sustained impacts including flooding along coastal areas and disruptions to the electrical grid in affected communities.
Nor'easters are seasonal weather systems known for producing strong winds, heavy precipitation, and significant coastal flooding along the eastern seaboard, and they can affect a wide geographic area given the size of the storm systems involved.
Local authorities and utility companies were responding to the outages as they occurred, with power restoration efforts expected to continue as the storm moved through the region. Coastal communities in particular faced elevated flooding risk given the combination of storm surge and heavy rainfall associated with the system.
Officials in the affected states were monitoring conditions closely, with residents in low-lying and coastal areas advised to stay alert to local warnings as the storm continued to move through the region over the following days.
The scale of the storm, affecting a broad swath of the northeastern United States, underscored the potential for continued disruption to travel, power supply, and daily life until conditions improve.
