Well over 100,000 customers were without power across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic at times on Sunday, according to PowerOutage.us. The most widespread outages were in counties along the coast from New Jersey to Connecticut.<\/p>\n
Numerous flights were canceled or delayed up and down the coast. More than 250 flights had been canceled at Boston Logan International Airport by late Sunday morning as wind gusts reached 40 mph, according to the Massachusetts Port Authority.<\/p>\n
Flooding the biggest concern from nor\u2019easter<\/p>\n
The worst of the remaining rainfall was expected Sunday from northern New Jersey into southern New England.<\/p>\n
While the storm was gradually weakening, tidal flooding would stay through high-tide cycles Sunday night, said Bob Oravec, a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service in College Park, Maryland.<\/p>\n
In New York City, water a few inches deep filled streets in the Howard Beach neighborhood but didn\u2019t deter residents from venturing out for coffee Sunday morning.<\/p>\n
Carole Ann Palmer, who owns Jingles Bait and Tackle in North Beach Haven, New Jersey, said this was the worst flooding she\u2019s seen in 10 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cYesterday, I was like, oh my God, it just keeps getting higher and higher,\u201d said Palmer, who lives above the store.<\/p>\n
The front step was swept away in the storm and she saw neighbors kayaking through the streets on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Her biggest problem on Sunday was taking her two puppies outside to relieve themselves. She had to put on waders and carry them to dry land.<\/p>\n
\u201cI take one at the time, carry them across the street so they can do their business and then come back, dry them off and then do the other one. It\u2019s a workout,\u201d Palmer said.<\/p>\n
New Jersey community better prepared after Sandy<\/p>\n
Bernard Dowd waded through tidal water Sunday to get to his Sea Bright home, a day after he got back from work to find his basement \u201cfilled up like a swimming pool.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he said the situation around his neighborhood likely would have been much worse if it weren\u2019t for new rules requiring homeowners to raise the height of their homes in the wake of Sandy, which devastated the community.<\/p>\n
He also noticed that many around the community had lined their home and businesses with sandbags \u2014 something he wishes he would have done.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m always thinking they are hyping the storm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Well over 100,000 customers were without power across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic at times on Sunday, according to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":358540,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10],"class_list":["post-358539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=358539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/358539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/358540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=358539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=358539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=358539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
