A truck is reflected in the door of a business protected by sandbags as it drives through a flooded street in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, on September 27, 2026. A powerful autumnal storm lashed the heavily populated US Northeast corridor with wind, rain and large waves, knocking out power for thousands and killing at least one person. Nor'easters, as storms like these are known, can cause billions of dollars in damage as they bring torrential rain, sometimes snow, strong winds and heavy storm surge flooding to large swaths of the US East Coast. The National Weather Service (NWS) said Sunday morning that the storm was "slowly weakening" after causing days of havoc up and down the East Coast. (Photo by Matthew HATCHER / AFP via Getty Images)
