As of Wednesday afternoon, roughly 639,000 were still without power in the Northeast. This is a remarkable drop from the peak of roughly 8.6 million one week ago. Sadly, 112 have been confirmed dead from Sandy in the U.S., including Puerto Rico.
Now, Winter Storm Athena, a nor'easter, is bringing yet more high winds, rain, coastal flooding, even snow to parts of the Northeast.
Four healthcare facilities in the Rockaways region of New York City have also been evacuated, as a precaution to protect the health and safety of residents and staff. The facilities include three nursing homes: Park Nursing Home (181 residents), Ocean Promenade Nursing Center (91 residents) and Peninsula Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation (180 residents), as well as one adult care center, Surfside Manor Home for Adults (173 residents).
Let's step through each impact, starting with snow.
