A slow-moving nor'easter battered the U.S. Northeast on September 26-27, 2026, causing one fatality, widespread coastal flooding, and power outages for over 100,000 customers. The storm, which brought wind gusts up to 60 mph and waves reaching 20 feet, forced the cancellation of hundreds of flights, major concerts, and sports events.
