Nor'easter kills at least one in Brooklyn, knocks out power to 100,000

A powerful nor'easter battering the Northeast killed at least one person, a 56-year-old NYCHA employee crushed by a falling tree in Brooklyn, city officials said. About 100,000 customers lost power. Four people were hospitalized after a tree fell near a Sheepshead Bay playground, and a swimmer disappeared off Fire Island amid 18-foot waves. New York and New Jersey declared states of emergency; forecasters said the worst impacts could continue into Sunday.
