Nor’easter Live Updates: Heavy Rain and Wind Batter Northeast, Bringing Coastal Flooding

The storm flooded low-lying areas, knocked out power for thousands and forced the cancellation of several major events and hundreds of flights. Wind gusts exceeded 50 miles per hour in places.

What the coverage shows

All six outlets frame the story as a strong nor’easter bringing wind, rain, and coastal flooding to the Northeast, with NPR and the New York Times also highlighting power outages. The New York Times is the only one to mention cancellations of major events and hundreds of flights, while BBC News is alone in noting emergency declarations in New York and New Jersey. 60 Minutes offers only a very brief teaser, whereas the others give fuller live or summary coverage.
