Deadly storm hits the Northeast, and five arrested on terrorism charge near a U.S. air base: Weekend Rundown
A powerful nor'easter is causing flooding and power outages across the U.S. Northeast, while Hurricane Nolo threatens Hawaii. Separately, British police arrested five men on terrorism charges near an RAF base used by the U.S. Air Force.
Why it matters
These events represent significant environmental and security concerns, impacting public safety and international military operations.
A powerful nor’easter battered the Northeast again on Sunday, flooding coastal communities and leaving tens of thousands of homes and businesses without power as forecasters warned that another round of high tides could inundate vulnerable shorelines. The slow-moving storm, which killed a New York City Housing Authority worker when a tree fell Saturday, was expected to linger through Sunday with heavy rain, strong winds and dangerous surf from New Jersey to New England. The nor’easter triggered memories of Superstorm Sandy, which left behind over $60 billion in damage across the eastern U.S. in 2012. While this storm’s impact has been nowhere near that, it could be the first of several along the East Coast this fall because of an El Niño climate pattern that’s disrupting this year’s weather.
