Nor'easter kills NYCHA worker in Brooklyn, floods New Jersey shore towns

A nor'easter battering the Northeast killed Leighton Brown, 56, a NYCHA employee crushed by a falling tree in Brooklyn, officials said. About 100,000 customers lost power. Four people were hospitalized after a tree fell near a Sheepshead Bay playground, and New York's Parks Department received over 900 reports of damaged or fallen trees. New Jersey shore communities saw severe flooding, with Sea Bright's mayor warning water could reach six feet in some areas.
