NEW YORK – Cleanup efforts are underway in communities across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast after a dayslong, deadly nor’easter pounded communities with coastal flooding, heavy rain and powerful winds that plunged thousands into darkness and led to travel misery at major airports across the region.
Officials in New York said an 86-year-old woman in Brooklyn was killed when a solar panel broke loose in high winds, hitting her while she was on a sidewalk.
And in Massachusetts, a plane crashed onto a busy highway Monday morning in Dartmouth as the nor’easter was slamming New England, killing two people on the plane and leaving one person injured on the ground.

Thousands of flight delays and cancellations were reported at major airports across the Northeast, including Boston Logan International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport.
According to information provided by FlightAware.com, more than 8,000 flights were delayed and about 800 were canceled.
That was due to the extreme weather conditions, including rain, wind and low ceilings that prevented flights from departing and landing at airports across the Northeast. Employee callouts during the government shutdown also contributed to delays across the country.Â
