A nor'easter has been affecting the East Coast with heavy rain and wind, leading to coastal flooding in several areas including the Jersey Shore and Long Island. Wind gusts exceeding 50 MPH were recorded in various locations. The storm coincided with a full moon spring tide, exacerbating the flooding conditions. In response to the severe weather, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issued a travel advisory, and a dozen counties in New York and New Jersey were placed under a state of emergency.
