A relentless storm system is lashing the Northeast with heavy rain and powerful winds, causing significant coastal flooding as storm surges push water inland. Authorities are warning residents in vulnerable areas to brace for hazardous conditions, including downed trees, power outages, and potential structural damage. The combination of sustained winds and rising tides has already led to localized flooding in low-lying regions, with more disruption expected as the system moves through the area. Emergency services are on high alert as communities prepare for the storm’s lingering impacts.
