  "account": "A powerful nor'easter swept through the US East Coast this weekend, disrupting life for over 100,000 residents and forcing airlines to cancel more than 400 flights. As of 1:07 p.m. ET on Saturday, more than 88,000 homes and businesses in New Jersey, Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania were still without power, according to PowerOutage.com. The situation had improved from the earlier count of over 119,000 affected customers.\n\nConnecticut, New Jersey, and New York each faced power outages impacting over 25,000 utility customers around 1 p.m. ET. PSEG Long Island, a major utility company, reported that the storm had downed trees, branches, and wires, leading to the restoration of power for more than 34,600 customers since Friday morning.\n\nThe disruption extended to air travel, with around 425 flights involving US airports canceled and 1,338 flights delayed on Saturday, as reported by FlightAware. The National Weather Service warned of coastal flooding, rip currents, strong wind gusts, and heavy rain affecting the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions through Monday.\n\nEmergency declarations were made by the governors of New York and New Jersey for counties anticipated to suffer the storm's most severe impacts. Connecticut's governor activated the state's Emergency Operations Center to handle the ongoing crisis.",
