Nor’easter floods US Northeast, leaves 100,000 without power

A powerful nor’easter flooded parts of the US Northeast on Monday, leaving more than 100,000 customers without power. One report put the outage figure above 130,000.

According to reports, the storm brought heavy rain, strong winds and coastal flooding to the region. More than 400 flights were cancelled as airlines grappled with the weather.

Emergency crews worked to restore power and clear flooded roads. Officials warned residents to avoid waterlogged streets and stay clear of downed power lines.

The storm was expected to move offshore through the day. Forecasters said conditions would gradually improve, though some coastal flooding could persist at high tide.

Utilities said crews would work through the night to restore service. The storm brought gusts strong enough to topple trees, and coastal communities saw the worst flooding with some roads closed. Normal life is expected to resume by Tuesday, and crews will keep clearing debris through the week.
