Over 70,000 customers in the northeastern United States are currently without power as a powerful nor’easter impacts New Jersey, Massachusetts, Delaware, and New York. The storm is expected to bring gale-force winds and significant flooding, particularly along the mid-Atlantic coast, prompting officials to issue evacuation orders in low-lying areas.
As the storm progresses, cities like Surf City and Manasquan are already experiencing flooded streets, with forecasts predicting worsening conditions. Concerts and flights have been canceled, and local officials are urging residents to prepare for potential evacuations as the storm could lead to severe flooding reminiscent of past major weather events.
