Thousands of residents across the East Coast are currently without power as a powerful nor’easter sweeps through the region.
The winter storm, which has already ripped through coastal areas, is bringing heavy rain and high winds that are disrupting electricity supplies and causing widespread outages.
Forecasters warn that the storm will continue to bring significant winds and rain throughout the weekend, potentially worsening the power disruptions and increasing the risk of flooding in low‑lying communities.
