A nor’easter is churning up the East Coast, prompting declarations of a state of emergency in New Jersey and parts of New York state. Another storm has struck farther south with heavy rain and flooding through the Carolinas. Across the continent in western Alaska, the remnants of Typhoon Halong brought hurricane- force winds and catastrophic flooding to coastal communities, pushing entire houses off their foundations. Officials said Sunday that the U.S. Coast Guard was headed to tiny Alaskan villages to respond to reports that up to 20 people might be unaccounted for. Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy says all efforts are being made to help storm victims.
