A powerful nor’easter is barreling toward the East Coast, prompting states of emergency in New York City, New Jersey, and Long Island as officials brace for hurricane-force winds exceeding 70 mph and life-threatening flooding. Coastal communities face the highest risks, with storm surges expected to inundate low-lying areas and disrupt travel. Authorities are urging residents to secure property, prepare emergency supplies, and avoid unnecessary travel as the system intensifies. Evacuation orders have been issued in vulnerable zones, while transportation networks—including subways, roads, and airports—are preparing for potential closures.
