In New Jersey, rising tides pushed seawater into low-lying neighborhoods, while strong winds toppled trees and utility poles on New York’s Long Island|@NewYorkNY|X
A powerful nor’easter battered the Northeast for a second day Sunday, flooding coastal communities, knocking out power, and disrupting travel from New Jersey to New England.
More than 100,000 customers across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic lost power. Some parts of Massachusetts received more than 7 inches of rain.
Hundreds of flights were canceled, and there were delays. Boston Logan and LaGuardia led US airports in service disruptions yesterday, stranding thousands of travelers.
The storm also claimed at least one life after a falling tree killed a New York City Housing Authority worker Saturday.
Coastal residents compared the flooding to some of the worst conditions they had seen in years, while communities strengthened by lessons from Superstorm Sandy prepared for more high water.
