"Deadly East Coast Storm Brings Devastating Floods and Power Outages"

A Category 5 atmospheric river, a phenomenon typically associated with the West Coast, played a significant role in a deadly East Coast storm that caused widespread flooding and power outages. The storm, fueled by the atmospheric river, brought heavy rain, strong winds, and ocean surges to the Eastern Seaboard. The river drew moisture from the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Caribbean Sea, resulting in exceptional rainfall and flooding. While atmospheric rivers are more common on the West Coast, they also impact the East Coast, contributing to extreme precipitation events. Climate change is believed to be intensifying atmospheric rivers, making them wetter and more impactful.
