A 56‑year‑old man was found dead after a tree fell on him near Euclid Avenue, Dumont Avenue, and Linden Boulevard in Brooklyn at 3:15 p.m. Saturday. The fatal collapse occurred as the nor’easter ripped through the Northeast, delivering winds up to 55 mph in New York City and gusts of 60 mph expected to linger through Sunday. The storm also triggered widespread power outages, leaving about 73,000 homes and businesses without electricity at its peak, after an earlier high of 119,000. Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency in the affected counties, warning residents that approaching the water during the storm was a "literal gamble with life." Air travel has been heavily disrupted, with hundreds of flights cancelled and thousands delayed across the region, while the National Weather Service warns that high tides and flooding may persist into early next week.
