What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A powerful nor'easter struck coastal communities in the Northeast, resulting in widespread flooding and power outages affecting tens of thousands of homes. Tidal surges overwhelmed low-lying neighborhoods in New Jersey, while wind gusts damaged homes and utility poles on Long Island. Extreme rainfall, exceeding four inches in some parts of New Jersey since Friday, combined with surging ocean waters led to flooding amounts not seen in some areas for close to a decade.
