A nor'easter storm affecting tens of millions across northeastern US states brought coastal flooding, power outages, travel disruptions, and canceled events starting Friday, peaking on Saturday. New York and New Jersey declared states of emergency; nearly 150,000 households lost electricity nationwide, while over 1,100 flights were delayed or grounded due to strong winds, heavy rain, and coastal deluges exacerbated by a full moon. Governors urged residents to stay indoors and avoid flooded areas as wind gusts up to 55mph led to downed trees and more outages in New York and Boston.

Story summary
A powerful nor'easter is hitting the East Coast of the United States, affecting millions from North Carolina to Maine, and possibly disrupting flights along the Northeast coast. The storm started impacting North Carolina's Outer Banks on Thursday, causing water surges that washed out parts of the main highway connecting barrier islands. By Saturday through Monday, windy rain showers will intermittently affect areas from New Jersey to Maine, with wind gusts up to 40 to 50 mph recorded along the Mid-Atlantic coast and moving north by the weekend. Higher totals of 2-to-6 inches of rain are expected from New Jersey to Boston and Long Island, New York, leading to potential coastal flooding, large waves, and beach erosion in these regions.
