A powerful nor’easter is forecasted to impact the East Coast this weekend, threatening millions with heavy rain, gusty winds, and significant coastal flooding. Cities from New York City to Boston are bracing for the storm, with forecasters predicting wind gusts of up to 70 mph in some areas. Residents are urged to prepare for possible flooding and power outages, as the storm may cause dangerous surf and beach erosion along the Jersey Shore and affect southern New England. Coastal alerts have been issued, and local businesses are advised to take precautions. The slow-moving system is already battering parts of the Mid-Atlantic, and its path is being closely monitored as it strengthens.
