  "account": "A powerful nor easter storm is wreaking havoc across the northeastern United States this weekend. The US National Weather Service (NWS) warns of dangerous coastal flooding, beach conditions, strong winds, and heavy rainfall affecting areas such as New York City and Boston. States of emergency have been declared in New York and New Jersey due to the storm's impact. Rain and strong winds are expected to bring widespread power outages, with nearly 150,000 households already losing electricity. The FAA recommends travelers check their flight status, as over 1,100 flights have been delayed and 400 grounded. The full moon this Saturday is expected to exacerbate coastal inundations. Flooded streets and homes have been reported in coastal New Jersey communities like Surf City and Manasquan. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill urges residents to take the storm seriously and follow local guidance. In New York, officials warn of wind gusts up to 55mph, potentially causing downed trees and power outages. Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York advises against unnecessary travel and urges against driving or walking through floodwater. The Red Sox have moved their weekend series against the Chicago Cubs to next Friday, and the Global Citizen Festival concert in New York City's Central Park has been canceled due to safety concerns. Ed Sheeran's Boston concert and a professional football match between Red Bull New York and St. Louis City SC have also been called off.",
