Powerful nor'easter Causes Coastal Flooding
The National Weather Service warned of up to 6 inches of rain and 60 mph winds as more than 100,000 customers lost power.
- On Saturday, September 26, 2026, a powerful nor'easter battered the East Coast with a cloud shield spanning more than 1,000 miles from North Carolina to Maine, causing widespread flooding, power outages, and travel disruptions.
- While nor'easters are common in New England, this early September storm is unusual; it packs wind gusts near 60 mph and 12-foot waves, leaving around 100,000 customers without electricity Saturday morning.
- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul identified coastal flooding as the primary threat, while Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer urged residents to monitor forecasts, warning, "Much more is coming" regarding rainfall.
- The storm forced significant weekend disruptions: hundreds of flights were canceled at Boston Logan International Airport, Ed Sheeran canceled concerts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, and highway closures on Hatteras Island scrambled wedding plans.
- Forecasters expect the system to move slowly north through the weekend, prolonging flood concerns; New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who declared a state of emergency in eight counties, warned residents to "stay vigilant" during high tides.
