A nor’easter begins affecting the U.S. East Coast, with early impacts including strong winds and rain. In New Jersey, some roads flood, and some homes are inundated in coastal communities as conditions deteriorate.

Several outlets report thousands of residents without power during the initial phase of the storm. Coverage emphasizes that the area already experiences significant disruptions as the system develops. One report focuses on the scale of people potentially affected and highlights road flooding and outages, while the other centers on the specific impacts in New Jersey communities and the number of customers left without electricity.

Both sources describe the same sequence of early storm effects—flooding in parts of New Jersey along with power losses—while noting that the storm is only starting to take hold and further impacts are likely as it intensifies.
