A powerful coastal storm swept through New England, causing widespread flooding and power outages. Rescuers saved residents from flooded homes and cars, with some communities experiencing flooding for the second time in the year. Vermont, still recovering from summer floods, faced less severe damage but with broader impact. The storm, which affected the East Coast and eastern Canada, resulted in fatalities and left nearly 500,000 customers without power in New England. Restoration efforts were underway, but officials warned it could take several days. The storm highlighted the need for adaptation to changing weather conditions due to climate change.
