Nor'easter Cuts Power to Over 100,000, Cancels 400+ Flights

A nor'easter storm system swept the East Coast, cutting power to more than 100,000 customers in the US Northeast and forcing the cancellation of over 400 flights. Wind gusts reached 62 mph in Nantucket and also battered Bethany Beach, Delaware, according to storm reports. The storm hit the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, disrupting travel and utility service heading into the weekend. Utilities in the affected region face restoration work, and airlines will need to rebook stranded passengers as the system moves through. The extent of economic disruption — from lost business days to insured property damage — has not yet been quantified, and full power restoration timelines have not been announced by utility companies.
