Nantucket Nor'easter Threatens Chaos for at Least 34 Weddings

A powerful nor’easter moving across the Northeast has put at least 34 Nantucket, Massachusetts weddings this weekend under serious weather pressure, with National Weather Service alerts in effect. The NWS issued a high wind warning and high surf advisory around 7:30 p.m. Friday as rainfall intensified, and a coastal flood warning is expected to remain through Monday night. For Maggie Lynch, 29, and Paul Flanagan, 28, whose Saturday wedding hosts 165 guests, the forecast was their “worst-case scenario.” Guests traveled by ferry and boat, including a 2.5-hour Hyannis-to-Nantucket ride, as arrivals shifted into Friday. The storm may disrupt travel, but some events continue as planned.
