Nor'easter Impacts East Coast Ports
The storm raging against the East Coast today is expected to bring about record wind gusts and flooding. New York and Boston are especially likely to feel the effects of the storm with possible coastal flooding and power outages due to high wind gusts. Long Island and East Boston could get as much as five inches of rain through Saturday, and New York could see twelve to eighteen inches of wet, heavy snow which could increase the risk of power outages. Over 1,500 flights have been cancelled and residents and business along the coast are encouraged to take precautions and travel only when absolutely necessary.
