Tens of millions of people across the north-eastern US have found themselves in the path of a powerful weekend storm bringing coastal flooding, power cuts, travel chaos and cancelled stadium events.
The so-called nor'easter brought "dangerous coastal flooding and beach conditions, strong winds and heavy rainfall" to areas including New York City and Boston on Saturday, the US National Weather Service (NWS) said.
States of emergency have been declared in New York and New Jersey, both of which faced a coastal deluge in some areas. Rain and strong winds were forecast from Virginia to Maine.
In Brooklyn, New York City, a man was killed by a falling tree.
The nor'easter has caused widespread power cuts. More than 160,000 households, nearly all in the north-eastern US, have lost electricity, according to tracker PowerOutage.
More than 2,400 flights were delayed and another 1,199 grounded on Saturday, according to FlightAware.
A full moon was projected to worsen coastal flooding. Streets and homes were inundated with floodwater in the coastal New Jersey communities of Surf City and Manasquan on Saturday.
NWS said in its alert: "Prepare immediately for significant inundation in low-lying areas near the shore, including roads underwater and impacts to homes and businesses."
In New York, officials are warning of wind gusts of up to 55mph (86km\/h) throughout the weekend, leading to downed trees and power lines.
"Don't travel if you don't have to," NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani told residents in a video message. "Do not drive or walk through floodwater."
In the Boston area, the Red Sox moved the last game in their series against the Chicago Cubs to Sunday afternoon in Florida.
A professional football match between Red Bull New York and St Louis City SC was also cancelled.
The Global Citizen Festival concert in New York City's Central Park, which was to be headlined by Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and John Legend, will not go ahead.
Ed Sheeran's Boston concert was also among events called off due to the weather.
Sheeran's concert at the Gillette Stadium in the Boston area was cancelled for safety reasons, the venue said.
Authorities said the heavy rains have subsided but the flooding is not yet over.
Heavy rain over the last two days has overwhelmed Bangkok's water systems, with more rain forecast on Sunday.
The council response to Mike Sutherland over the Dumfries project was deemed "entirely unacceptable".
Days of near continuous downpours have caused widespread flooding in the Thai capital.
Farmer James Winslade says it is "brilliant" the council has \u00a350m for flood prevention work.
