Coastal flooding and electrical failures disrupted the Mid-Atlantic region on Sept 26 as a powerful storm made landfall. A nor'easter hit the New Jersey coast, knocking out power for thousands of residents and inundating shoreline communities. In Surf City, a powerful storm surge pushed waves into city streets, rendering several roads impassable.

Severe weather warnings are currently in effect for more than 60 million people along the East Coast. Local officials warn that the storm has not yet reached its peak and that dangerous conditions and additional power outages are likely to persist through the weekend.
