BOSTON (AP) — A powerful storm is creeping along the U.S. Northeast coast, causing high winds and knocking out electricity for thousands. The nor’easter is affecting the Mid-Atlantic area and New England. At one point, around 100,000 customers were without power on Saturday. The National Weather Service warns that high winds, tides, and heavy rain will continue through Sunday. In New Jersey, New York and elsewhere, some streets are flooded and some homes and businesses are inundated. In Brooklyn, New York, a 56-year-old man was struck and killed by a falling tree, according to the New York City Police Department, the first confirmed fatality from the storm. The New York City Housing Authority later confirmed he was an employee of the agency. He was identified by Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a social media post as Leighton Brown. The storm has also led to flight cancellations, concert postponements and disrupted sports events. Officials are urging residents to use caution. (Photo: AP)
