‘Blockbuster’ Storm Knocks Out Electricity From New York to Virginia

- Wind gusts have reached 45 miles per hour in New York City
- Storm is also bringing flooding rains along the East Coast

A “blockbuster” storm tearing up the East Coast that has already knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of customers and grounded hundreds of flights promises to bring flooding rain and dangerous winds through Monday.

The heaviest rain will likely fall across eastern New York and western Massachusetts, with as much as 5 inches (12 centimeters) hitting the ground, said Rob Carolan, owner of Hometown Forecast Services, which provides forecasts to Bloomberg Radio. New York City, where gusts have reached 45 miles (74 kilometers) per hour, will get rattled with the worst winds and rain from about noon to 1 p.m.
