Fox 5 NY ^ | Sept 26, 2026 | Amanda Hurley

NEW YORK CITY - A powerful, intensifying nor'easter is pounding the Northeast this weekend, putting over 40 million Americans in its path and prompting states of emergency across the region.

A powerful weather system is bringing heavy rainfall, damaging winds, and widespread coastal flooding across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Officials advise residents to stay off the roads and remain indoors if possible.

With the storm forecast to stall just off the coast of Long Island, persistent onshore winds, heavy rain bands, and exceptionally high tides are combining to threaten widespread coastal inundation, dangerous surf, and severe beach erosion through Sunday.

I went to see AC/DC at Met Life in NJ outside of NYC. They cancelled the concert about 4 hours before the doors opened; it’s been rescheduled. There was no rain, though the winds were packing a punch. Fans from all over the world traveled the concert and were peeved.

I wonder how much of a bust this storm will be.

The eye of the storm is off the DelMarVa peninsula, directly south of Boston. The outer bands have barely reached the Boston area.

With that said, its a nor'easter. Not the first nor last. Been through many.

Anything bad or unusual in the weather is a CRISIS and it's the president's fault.

The solution is a boot stamping on a human face forever.

And if you say otherwise ... Why do you hate The Planet?

60 mph winds? Where I live that’s called an average Tuesday in autumn.

The flooding may be a major concern.

Drove two hours to the Meadowlands only to get notification about 10 minutes away from the venue that it had been postponed.

Pretty peeved but in the long run glad I didn’t have to sit in the rain.

Heck, that ain’t nothing more than a thunderstorm in Kansas. We don’t have to worry about beach erosion though.

Didn't Hochul call a State of Emergency?

It must have been dreadful. Fortunately these people were able
to save their Adirondack chairs.

My son just stopped by in southern NH.
He was supposed to be going to the Ed Sheeran concert at Foxboro today. That was cancelled.
He bought the tickets a YEAR ago.
He did get a refund.

I will be outside with my chainsaw today.

My father had to do that chainsaw thing not long ago.

I’ve lived all over the country. Let’s just say in Texas and Ohio 60 mph is considered a mild breeze. 😊

I had tickets to see the Simon and Garfunkel reunion concert in Houston at the Summit in 1983. I bought the tickets in the spring for an August show. Hurricane Alicia was bearing down on Houston, but they said the concert was still on.

We were on Hwy 59 heading to the Summit when we heard on the radio that they were canceling the show and would reschedule it for later in the year. They never did, and they refunded the tickets.
