A strong storm has covered the Northeast of the United States, the coast floods

A powerful storm hit the northeastern United States, leaving about 100,000 consumers without electricity. Bad weather was accompanied by strong winds, torrential rains and high waves, CBS News reported.

In Brooklyn, a 56-year-old man died after a tree fell. The victim was an employee of the Housing Department of New York Leighton Brown. This is the first confirmed death related to the storm.

In New Jersey, rescuers evacuated nine adults and a dog from flooded motel rooms. On Long Island, flooded streets in places were so filled with water that residents moved along them in kayaks. In some coastal areas of New Jersey and Maryland, water flooded roads, homes and areas by the sea.

The Philadelphia area and eastern New Jersey are expected to see between 25 and 76 millimetres of precipitation, while Long Island and southern New England are expected to see between 76 and 127 millimetres. The storm could linger off the coast until Monday, causing heavy rain, wind and flooding to continue. In some areas, wind gusts already exceeded 112 kilometers per hour.
