Nor'easter storm brings coastal flooding, as New York and New Jersey declare emergency

A strong, early season nor'easter has arrived in the Northeast and flooded some coastal towns. This is what it looks like in affected areas.

What the coverage shows

All six outlets frame the story as a severe nor’easter hitting the Northeast with wind, rain and coastal flooding. The New York Times is the most specific about impacts, adding power outages, event cancellations and flight disruptions, while NPR foregrounds widespread outages and BBC News alone mentions emergency declarations in New York and New Jersey. 60 Minutes offers only a brief “bracing for nor’easter” post and does not add details in its extract.
