It was a massive cyclone that brought extremely strong winds, heavy snowfall, and heavy rain. The storm caused widespread damage, power outages, transportation disruptions, and coastal flooding. It formed suddenly over the Atlantic and intensified rapidly as it moved inland, making it one of the most intense storms of its kind in that region. The disaster highlighted the importance of weather forecasting and preparedness.
