Photos: Powerful storm pummels U.S. East Coast

A days-long powerful, deadly storm was slamming the U.S. East Coast with heavy rains, coastal flooding and gusty winds into early Tuesday.

The big picture: The nor'easter that lashed the Carolinas over the weekend continued to hit communities across the Northeast and New England, with flooded streets in New Jersey, New York City and the surrounding region, which were under states of emergency Sunday into Monday evening.

• The extreme weather led to thousands of flight delays and hundreds of cancelations at airports across the Northeast — with the New York City area's LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport and Massachusetts' Boston Logan International Airport among those affected.

Zoom in: At least one death was reported in New York City, where officials said a 76-year-old Brooklyn woman was killed by a solar panel during the storm on Sunday, when winds peaked at an estimated 42 mph.

• In Dartmouth, Massachusetts, a small plane crashed on Monday onto the median of Interstate 195 and killed two people, injuring another, though it was not immediately clear if the crash was related to the storm.
• The crash caused travel delays in the area.

Up to 3 inches of rain has fallen across the region since this weekend while wind gusts have exceeded 50 mph along coastal areas of Long Island.

Meanwhile, one person was confirmed dead after the remnants of Typhoon Halong slammed western Alaska with flooding rains and hurricane-force winds over the weekend, causing multiple injuries.

• Alaska State Troopers said on X Monday that the woman was found dead in Kwigillngok after search and rescue teams went to the community and also Kipnuk and rescued a total of 51 people and two dogs.

State of play: "Coastal flooding is ongoing across portions of the East Coast as a low pressure system in the western Atlantic brings persistent and strong onshore winds to coastal regions," per a Monday National Weather Service Forecast discussion.

• "This combined with high astronomical tides could lead to additional beach erosion," it said.
• "Rip currents and high surf also continue, along with scattered to widespread showers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. High winds are lessening already as the low starts to pull away, with only Wind Advisories left for Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket."
• Coastal flood alerts continued into Monday evening, but the NWS noted many would expire as the potential for hazardous conditions decreased.

Between the lines: "Extreme precipitation events have increased in frequency and intensity in the U.S. and across many regions of the world since the 1950s," per environmental nonprofit the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions.
