Severe storms have ravaged the northern United States, causing airline cancellations, travel disruptions and disruptions to school schedules. The impact is particularly high in New York City, where barriers to online learning prevent students from attending classes. More than 1,000 flights were canceled, mostly in New York City and Boston, and the crash led some states to ban some vehicles from their highways.
In New York City, the online education system serving the nation’s largest public university experienced academic problems, leaving more than 915,000 students unable to access it. This further increased the frustration of parents and students, as the decision to continue distance education instead of declaring a snow day sparked criticism.
The storm caused more than 1,000 flight cancellations and caused major chaos at New York City and Boston airports. Numerous accidents have occurred in the area, leading many states to ban tandem and tractor trailers on highways.
Although this winter will be worst in the area from the northern suburbs of New York City to the southern part of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, concerns about marine flooding and storms remain. Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has ordered the closure of all administrative departments, while the state’s courthouses remain closed.
In Massachusetts, Governor Maura Healey ordered non-essential workers to stay home and schools in Boston to close their doors. Similar measures were implemented in other cities, and emergency officials were prepared to stay safe and respond to any emergencies.
Currently, energy companies continue to be prepared for the possibility of power outages that may result from falling trees and branches. Despite the dire situation, homeless shelters in Boston remain open and provide shelter to those in need.
To the south, flood warnings have been issued for parts of Alabama and central Georgia, where heavy rains are expected. The National Weather Service issued a flood warning, emphasizing the need to be careful and prepared.
As the storm continues to impact daily life in the Northeast, officials are warning people to stay inside as much as possible and be careful when going out. Passengers are advised to check with their airlines for the latest information on flight cancellations and delays, while emergency services are also warning public safety in case of bad weather.
