Torrential rains have drenched New York as a storm that flattened buildings, toppled trees and downed power lines in the MidWest promised to inflict more wild weather overnight, as it turns into a fierce nor'easter.
Meteorologists say the non-tropical storm - rare for this time of year - will batter areas from northern and coastal New Jersey to eastern Massachusetts with heavy rain, gusty winds and flooding into Friday morning.
As a result of the violent weather, there are likely to be significant travel delays and power outages in the New England region before the storm rolls off to the northeast on Friday.
Tens of thousands of families were left without power in Ohio, Illinois and northwest Indiana on Wednesday night in the storm which brought with it a series of mini tornadoes.
