One dead, hundreds of flights cancelled, power lines hit as 'Nor'easter' storm batters parts of US: What we know so far

A deadly Nor'easter storm has struck parts of the United States, leaving one person dead and causing extensive damage and disruption. The storm, characterized by heavy rain, strong winds, and potential major flooding, has affected multiple states in the northeastern region, including New York, Boston, and Philadelphia. Over 60,000 customers across several states were left without power, and hundreds of flights were cancelled, with the most significant impacts felt at Boston's Logan Airport.

Authorities have issued warnings about dangerous conditions, urging residents to avoid travel and water bodies. The storm's impact is expected to continue through Sunday morning, with potential coastal flooding and waves up to 20 feet tall along the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Major cultural events, such as the Global Citizen and All Things Go festivals, have been called off due to the storm's severity.
