Nor'easter leaves over 100,000 customers without power in US Northeast, over 400 flights canceled

A strong nor’easter struck the U.S. East Coast this weekend, stretching from Washington, D.C., to Maine, leaving more than 100,000 homes and businesses without power at one point on Saturday. The storm also disrupted air travel: airlines canceled more than 400 flights as conditions worsened. The outage and flight cancellations underline how quickly severe weather can compound infrastructure pressure across multiple states in a short window. The report, filed from New York on Sept. 26 by Reuters, did not specify restoration times, but the scale of both outages and cancellations suggests ongoing operational impacts through the weekend.
