A powerful storm, described as unusual for this time of year, intensified on Sunday over the northeastern United States, bringing torrential rain and strong winds to the region, according to US media reports.
The storm cut power to tens of thousands of people across the affected area and was linked to at least one death, US media reported, though further details on the circumstances of that fatality were not immediately available.
The heavy rainfall and high winds associated with the system disrupted daily life across parts of the northeastern US, with utility crews working to restore power to homes and businesses left without electricity. The unusual timing and intensity of the storm drew attention from meteorologists tracking seasonal weather patterns in the region.
Local authorities urged residents in affected areas to exercise caution, particularly around downed power lines and debris left by the high winds, as recovery and clean-up efforts got under way following the storm's passage.
Further details on the total scope of the damage and the number of people affected were expected as utility companies and local officials continued to assess the aftermath of the storm.
