A powerful Nor'easter has left one person dead, cancelled hundreds of flights and downed power lines across the US East Coast, with New York, Boston and Philadelphia in the firing line.
A powerful Nor'easter storm has battered parts of the United States, leaving at least one person dead, forcing the cancellation of hundreds of flights and bringing down power lines, authorities said.
New York, Boston and Philadelphia were all in the firing line of the storm, which takes its name from the northeasterly winds that drive it. Officials warned of potential major flooding and road closures as the system moved through the region.
The storm's impact was felt across transport networks, with hundreds of flights grounded. Downed power lines added to the disruption, leaving communities without electricity.
Authorities urged residents in affected areas to prepare for hazardous conditions, including flooded roads and possible evacuations. The full extent of the damage was not immediately clear.
A Nor'easter is a type of low-pressure system that typically forms along the US East Coast, bringing heavy rain, snow and strong winds. Such storms are common in the region during the colder months and can cause widespread disruption.
