Powerful nor’easter pummels US Northeast: one dead, mass power outages

–

Neutral summary

A powerful nor’easter storm, unusual for the season, hit the northeastern United States on September 26–27, causing torrential rain, high winds, and coastal flooding. In New York City, a 56-year-old man died after a tree fell on him in Brooklyn, according to the New York Post. The Independent reported over 100,000 customers without power, while El Colombiano and Mondo cited figures of 130,000 to 150,000. Hundreds of flights were canceled, and over 60% of LaGuardia Airport flights were delayed, according to Forbes. State leaders declared emergencies in New York, New Jersey, and elsewhere, warning of further flooding at high tide. Ed Sheeran’s weekend concerts at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts were canceled as a precaution, reported Mint. The storm began to weaken but was expected to continue bringing rain and flood threats into early week, according to The New York Times. Some outlets, including Alo!, drew comparisons to Hurricane Sandy in 2012, while others, like Clarín, noted communities are now better prepared.
