Qué cambió desde nuestro último informe
31 horas después
Entonces
La tormenta del noreste corta el acceso por carretera a Hatteras mientras se inundan viviendas en la costa de JerseyPendiente entonces
- Cuándo reabrirán los tramos cerrados de la carretera 12 o cuándo empezará a prestar servicio el ferry de emergencia.
Lo que dijimos que vigilaríamos
- Si las próximas mareas altas retrasan las reparaciones y hacen que entre más agua en los vecindarios costeros.
Ahora
Leighton Brown murió por la caída de un árbol en Brooklyn. Un ferry de emergencia llegó a Hatteras, aislada por carretera, pero no hay una fecha confirmada para reabrir la ruta dañada hacia el continente.
Ya establecido
- La muerte de Brown está confirmada; el ferry comenzó a operar el domingo y la carretera de Ocracoke reabrió.
Para el lunes 28 de septiembre, la tormenta del noreste de septiembre estaba perdiendo fuerza, pero sus consecuencias no remitían al mismo ritmo. La caída de un árbol había causado la muerte de un trabajador en Brooklyn. Las mareas altas sucesivas habían inundado calles costeras, y la carretera continental hacia la isla Hatteras, en Carolina del Norte, seguía cerrada incluso después de que comenzara a operar un ferry de emergencia. La tormenta amainaba; las tareas para restablecer el acceso y la electricidad no habían terminado.180188198
Leighton Brown, de 56 años, trabajaba un turno extra para la Autoridad de Vivienda de la Ciudad de Nueva York el sábado 26 de septiembre, cuando un árbol lo golpeó en un estacionamiento de Cypress Hills Houses, en East New York. Fue trasladado al Hospital Brookdale, donde lo declararon muerto. Otras cuatro personas, entre ellas un niño de un año y una niña de siete, resultaron heridas por la caída de un árbol distinto en Brooklyn. Brown es la única víctima mortal confirmada de la tormenta hasta primeras horas del lunes. El meteorólogo Craig Allen se refirió a varias muertes causadas por árboles caídos en el área de la Ciudad de Nueva York, pero no dio nombres ni una cifra; no se ha confirmado de forma independiente una segunda muerte.1801833
El 27 de septiembre informamos de que el avance del agua había dañado unos 500 pies de la autopista N.C. 12 cerca del Centro de Visitantes de Pea Island, dejando a Hatteras sin conexión por carretera con el continente. Entonces se preparaba un ferry de emergencia entre Stumpy Point y Rodanthe; aún no estaba en funcionamiento. El domingo se confirmó una muerte, un informe posterior indicó que más de 130,000 clientes de la región estaban sin electricidad y un ferry comenzó efectivamente a operar. Ninguno de esos acontecimientos significa que la carretera dañada haya reabierto.83107202237
La tormenta afectó o amenazó unos 900 millas de costa, desde Virginia hasta Maine; una descripción de su alcance, no una única alerta continua del Servicio Meteorológico Nacional. Nueva York y Nueva Jersey declararon emergencias el viernes. Para el final del sábado, NBC News calculaba que 37 millones de personas estaban expuestas a amenazas de inundaciones costeras y que más de 41 millones, desde Maryland hasta Massachusetts, se encontraban en una zona amenazada por el viento. Esas cifras describían la exposición, no el número de personas inundadas o heridas, y no corresponden a las alertas del lunes.251
Los fuertes vientos del noreste empujaron el agua tierra adentro durante sucesivas mareas altas, mientras que la lluvia suponía un riesgo distinto de inundaciones en el interior. Allen informó de una ráfaga de 81 mph en Montauk; Fox Weather informó de vientos de 74 mph en Long Beach Island, Nueva Jersey. Se informaron olas de hasta 19 pies en los Outer Banks. Las predicciones de hasta siete pulgadas de lluvia en algunos lugares eran pronósticos, no un total regional observado. No se ha establecido ningún total oficial de lluvia, mareas o daños para toda la tormenta.322251
Agua alta, y luego otra vez
En Ocean City, Nueva Jersey, se inundaron decenas de calles y camiones para aguas altas rescataron a personas atrapadas en automóviles. Las inundaciones cerraron temporalmente el único puente vial de acceso a Long Beach Island; la información publicada no establece cuándo reabrió. El agua entró en algunas viviendas de Surf City. En Manasquan, las autoridades recomendaron evacuar algunas propiedades en zonas bajas, no todo el municipio. Se describió una marea de más de siete pies como la quinta más alta registrada allí, pero no se ha verificado la cresta precisa de una marea posterior pronosticada en 7.3 pies. La marea alta del domingo volvió a inundar comunidades costeras expuestas.46222200
En esta historia hay otro Ocean City: el de Maryland, donde se inundaron calles del centro y se canceló el festival de tres días Oceans Calling. Visitantes de Escocia y Tennessee dijeron que el reembolso de la entrada no cubriría sus otros gastos de viaje; los negocios del paseo marítimo esperaban beneficiarse del festival. En Stone Harbor, Nueva Jersey, trabajadores retiraron el agua y pusieron ventiladores en un restaurante antes de una cena de ensayo a la que se esperaba que asistieran unas 60 personas. El propietario tenía intención de recibirlas, pero la información publicada no confirma que la cena se celebrara.1920
El director de gestión de emergencias de Connecticut, William Turner, dijo que unos 30,000 clientes del estado estaban sin electricidad el domingo por la mañana e informó de árboles que impactaron contra casas. Esperaba inundaciones costeras de moderadas a importantes desde Greenwich hasta Milford hacia el mediodía; no se dispone de una profundidad final medida que confirme ese pronóstico. En Rhode Island, se ampliaron los horarios de los refugios de fin de semana para que funcionaran las 24 horas, y los ferris de Block Island no operaban. Estos informes describen las condiciones y preparativos en los momentos señalados, no el horario actual de los servicios para el lunes.421
Un informe posterior del domingo indicó que más de 130,000 clientes de compañías de servicios públicos de la región estaban sin electricidad, sin precisar la hora exacta de la medición ni aportar pruebas de que se tratara del máximo de la tormenta. ABC News había informado de más de 100,000 en la región del Atlántico Medio y el noreste ese mismo domingo; datos anteriores del sábado correspondían a otras zonas y, en ocasiones, contabilizaban personas en vez de clientes. No se pueden sumar para obtener un total acumulado. Una transcripción de NBC dio la inverosímil cifra de 85 millones de personas sin electricidad, mientras que otro informe de NBC indicó más de 85,000. La cifra de 85 millones no es un recuento confirmado de cortes.2022231
Un ferry no es una carretera
El ferry de emergencia para vehículos y pasajeros entre Stumpy Point y Rodanthe comenzó a operar el domingo a las 11 a. m.; se informó que llegó por primera vez a Stumpy Point poco después de la 1 p. m. Permitió trasladar personas y suministros mientras la N.C. 12 en Pea Island seguía cerrada entre el puente Marc Basnight y Rodanthe. Los equipos construían una duna protectora, retiraban el asfalto dañado y nivelaban el trazado propuesto para un desvío de un solo carril. No se confirmó que el desvío estuviera abierto, y no se había fijado una fecha para reabrir la carretera.237189188
Si superamos la próxima marea alta sin problemas, tendremos un cronograma más claro sobre cuándo se puede reabrir.
En el tramo separado de la isla Ocracoke, la N.C. 12 reabrió alrededor de la 1:30 p. m. del domingo, lo que permitió reanudar de forma limitada el servicio de ferry entre Hatteras y Ocracoke. Las conexiones de ferry desde el continente a Ocracoke, desde Cedar Island y Swan Quarter, ya se habían reanudado. Ese tramo reabierto no es el tramo dañado de Pea Island. Además, un horario de ferry publicado el domingo no garantiza que haya salidas el lunes.234191160
Aún hay que aclarar las cifras de viajes
El viento provocó una suspensión de las operaciones en tierra en el aeropuerto Boston Logan, Amtrak canceló el servicio entre Nueva York y Boston, y las aerolíneas ofrecieron exenciones a los viajeros afectados durante el fin de semana. La autoridad de transporte de Nueva York advirtió de posibles interrupciones, no de un cierre de todo el sistema; los retrasos matutinos en Newark mejoraron. Las cifras de vuelos requieren más cautela de la que sugiere un único número definitivo.2324
El informe de NPR del 26 de septiembre indicó que se habían cancelado más de 1,000 vuelos el sábado, según FlightAware. Fox News informó de 451 cancelaciones en EE. UU. y más de 3,000 retrasos el sábado en su emisión del 27 de septiembre. ABC News había informado de más de 420 cancelaciones en un corte del 26 de septiembre: esa cifra anterior no contradice por sí sola un recuento posterior. La cifra mucho más alta de NPR no puede conciliarse con la de Fox sin un método de recuento y una hora de recopilación comparables, por lo que ninguna debe considerarse el total definitivo del sábado. Las casi 250 cancelaciones del domingo y los más de 300 retrasos que informó Fox también correspondían a datos parciales del día.27424
Para el lunes aún se pronosticaban lluvia e inundaciones menores durante la marea alta en zonas vulnerables, mientras la tormenta del noreste perdía fuerza; un pronóstico no es un registro de lo que finalmente ocurrió. El cambio más claro desde nuestro informe del 27 de septiembre es que Hatteras cuenta con un ferry de emergencia y Ocracoke recuperó su carretera separada y una conexión limitada en ferry. Hatteras seguía sin tener confirmada la reapertura de la carretera continental, y aún se desconocían las cifras finales de heridos, daños y restablecimiento de los servicios.198237234188
Lo que sabemos
Lo que no sabemos
- No hay una segunda muerte verificada, una fecha de reapertura de Pea Island ni un total final de daños causados por la tormenta en toda la zona.
Lo que viene
- Si los equipos podrán abrir el desvío de Pea Island después de las próximas mareas altas.

- On September 27 we reported Hatteras’s road severed; ferries sailed and a death is confirmed. The mainland road remains closed, while a Sunday power-outage snapshot exceeded 130,000 regional utility customers. Leighton Brown, a New York City housing worker, was killed by a falling tree. What access has been restored, and what remains unconfirmed as the storm weakens?
- Brown was 56 and working an extra shift on Saturday, September 26. A tree struck him in a parking lot at Cypress Hills Houses in East New York, Brooklyn, near Euclid and Dumont avenues. He was taken to Brookdale Hospital and pronounced dead. Four other people, including a one-year-old boy and a seven-year-old girl, were injured by a different falling tree in Brooklyn. They were not struck by the tree that killed Brown.
- Brown is the one confirmed storm fatality through early Monday. A meteorologist described multiple falling-tree deaths in the New York City area, but gave no names or count, and no second death has been independently confirmed. Nearly 400 fallen trees were reported across New York City on Saturday. A later tally recorded 511 downed-tree reports among 1,273 service requests; possible duplicates mean those figures do not establish how many distinct trees fell.
- The slow-moving nor’easter brought wind, rain and repeated coastal flooding along roughly 900 miles from Virginia to Maine. That is the storm’s geographic reach, not a single weather-service warning. New York and New Jersey declared emergencies on Friday. Northeasterly winds pushed water into successive high tides, while heavy rain created a separate inland-flooding risk.
- Montauk registered an 81-mile-an-hour gust; a 74-mile-an-hour gust was reported on Long Beach Island, and JFK recorded 56. A separate preliminary public-source observation listed 74 miles an hour at Surf City, New Jersey, with a warning that not every observation on that list was official. Waves up to 19 feet were reported in the Outer Banks. Forecasts of up to seven inches of rain in some places and waves up to 18 to 20 feet were projections, not storm-wide measurements.
- Saturday estimates rose to 37 million people facing coastal-flood threats and more than 41 million in a wind-threat area from Maryland to Massachusetts. Those were exposure estimates, not counts of people flooded or injured, and they are not Monday alert totals. Flash-flood warnings covered southeastern Massachusetts. No final authoritative storm-wide rainfall, tide or damage total has been established.
- More than 130,000 regional utility customers lacked power in a later Sunday snapshot. Its exact measurement time is unknown, and it is not an established storm peak. Connecticut had about 30,000 customers out Sunday morning. Earlier Saturday figures included more than 119,000 Northeast homes and businesses, then more than 88,000 customers across four states at 1:07 p.m. Eastern. The changing figures cover different times, areas and sometimes units; they are not a cumulative count of people affected.
- A separate nationwide tracker stood at 56,287 outages at 3:04 a.m. Eastern Monday, including about 10,253 in New York and 3,502 in Connecticut. That tracker is not a like-for-like comparison with Sunday’s regional figure or proof that every storm outage was restored. One contradictory account put the number without electricity at 85 million; another put it above 85,000. The 85-million figure is not an established outage count.
- The emergency Stumpy Point–Rodanthe ferry began carrying vehicles and passengers at 11 a.m. Sunday. Its first arrival at Stumpy Point was reported shortly after 1 p.m. That is a working alternative to the mainland road, not a repair to it. Round-the-clock emergency service was planned, but the supplied updates do not confirm Monday’s precise operating status or access rules.
- Ocean overwash damaged about 500 feet of N.C. Highway 12 near the Pea Island Visitor Center. The section between the Marc Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe remained closed in the latest verified road update, leaving Hatteras Island without a mainland road link. Crews began building a protective dune, removing damaged asphalt and grading a proposed one-lane detour. Neither the detour’s opening nor a road-reopening date has been confirmed. Part of a Hatteras Island fishing pier also collapsed after days of wind-driven waves.
- On the separate Ocracoke Island section, Highway 12 reopened at about 1:30 p.m. Sunday, allowing limited Hatteras–Ocracoke ferry trips to resume. Mainland ferry links from Cedar Island and Swan Quarter to Ocracoke had already resumed. A Sunday-published departure schedule does not guarantee Monday sailings, and Ocracoke’s reopened road does not restore the Pea Island link.
- Dozens of streets flooded in Ocean City, New Jersey, where high-water trucks rescued people stranded in cars. Flooding temporarily closed the only road bridge in and out of Long Beach Island; its reopening time is unverified. Some Surf City homes took on water. In Ocean City, Maryland, downtown flooding and the cancellation of the three-day Oceans Calling festival were separate impacts. Visitors said ticket refunds would not cover all their travel costs, and boardwalk businesses had expected festival trade.
- Some low-lying Manasquan properties were under a limited voluntary evacuation notice, not a borough-wide compulsory order. A tide above seven feet was described as the fifth-highest recorded there, but the precise crest of a subsequent forecast 7.3-foot tide is unverified. Sunday’s high tide brought renewed flooding to exposed shore communities. In Connecticut, a forecast of moderate to major flooding from Greenwich to Milford has not been reconciled with a final measured depth. Water-covered roads can remain hazardous after high tide recedes.
- In Rhode Island, shelters extended weekend operations to 24 hours and Block Island ferries were not running, even though early conditions there had been milder than forecast. At a Stone Harbor, New Jersey, restaurant, workers removed floodwater and ran fans ahead of a rehearsal dinner expected to draw about 60 guests. The owner intended to serve them; completion of the dinner has not been confirmed.
- Saturday flight-cancellation counts do not reconcile: one exceeds a thousand, while other accounts give more than 420 and 451 U.S. cancellations. The underlying methods and collection times do not establish a final comparable total. One Saturday count also exceeded 3,000 delays. By a Sunday broadcast, nearly 250 flights had been canceled and more than 300 delayed that day; those were partial-day figures, not final totals.
- Boston Logan had a wind-related ground stop, and Amtrak canceled New York–Boston service. Airlines offered affected weekend passengers travel waivers. Newark’s morning delays improved; New York’s transit authority warned that high winds could disrupt service, but did not announce a systemwide shutdown.
- The storm was weakening by Monday, but lingering rain and minor high-tide flooding remained forecast, not confirmed final outcomes. The answer on Hatteras is narrower than a reopening: Sunday’s emergency ferry carried traffic, and Ocracoke’s separate road reopened, but Pea Island’s mainland road and proposed detour have no confirmed opening. Final injury, damage and service-restoration totals remain unknown.
