The East Coast is preparing for a significant nor’easter expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and potential coastal flooding this weekend. Areas from Massachusetts to New Jersey are under storm alerts, with forecasts indicating damaging winds that may reach up to 60 mph. Cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Ocean City are particularly at risk, with local officials urging residents to brace for significant impacts similar to those experienced during Superstorm Sandy. New Jersey has declared a State of Emergency, and power outages have already been reported as the storm begins to make its presence felt.
