Overview

• Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for New York City, with utilities including Con Edison deploying more than 1,600 additional workers to address outages.
• New Jersey’s acting governor, Tahesha Way, put a statewide emergency in place as forecasts call for coastal flooding and gusts that in spots could reach about 60 mph.
• Coastal impacts stretched from the Carolinas to New England, with water rescues in South Carolina, ocean overwash along North Carolina’s Outer Banks, and major tidal flooding in parts of coastal Virginia.
• Atlantic City closed key routes due to rising water, Ocean City, Maryland reported street flooding and briefly opened a shelter, and Norfolk offered free garage parking as communities prepared for multiple high-tide cycles.
• Travel disruptions mounted with FAA-reported delays at major Northeast airports and the MTA banning empty tractor-trailers from its bridges, while forecasters expect repeated flooding through Monday before the storm moves offshore.
