One dead, hundreds of flights cancelled, power lines hit as 'Nor'easter' storm batters parts of US: What we know so far
New York, Boston and Philadelphia were all in the firing line of the “Nor'easter” — so labeled for its northeasterly winds — as authorities warned of potential major flooding and road closures, AFP reported.
At least one person died and hundreds of flights were cancelled as a powerful Nor'easter storm swept through parts of the United States on Saturday. New York, Boston, and Philadelphia were directly affected by the storm, which brought heavy rain, strong winds, and potential major flooding. The National Weather Service predicted the storm would intensify and impact the region through Sunday morning.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul warned of extremely dangerous conditions, urging people to avoid water and travel during the storm. Over 60,000 customers were left without power across several states, and up to six inches of rain was expected on Long Island. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani advised residents to avoid travel if possible due to strong wind gusts and the risk of downed power lines.
Hundreds of flights were cancelled at Boston's Logan airport alone, with many major airlines offering fee-free changes. Various cultural events, including the Global Citizen festival and concert cancellations by Ed Sheeran, were called off due to the storm's impact.
