A powerful, slow-moving storm known as a nor'easter crept along the coast of the north-eastern United States on Saturday, knocking out power to around 100,000 customers and creating dangerous flooding conditions in several states.
Residents across New Jersey, Massachusetts, Delaware and New York were left without electricity as the storm produced high winds, whipped up large waves and dumped heavy rain that flooded roads in some areas.
Tens of millions of people across the region were in the storm's path, with forecasters warning that the mid-Atlantic and New England areas would continue to feel its effects throughout the weekend.
Utility crews were expected to work to restore power to affected customers as the storm moved through, though the slow pace of the system raised concerns about prolonged impacts on coastal communities already dealing with flooding and travel disruptions.
