Why it matters locally: While the immediate impact of this nor'easter was felt further north, similar storm systems frequently affect South Carolina's coastal areas, making residents accustomed to preparing for and recovering from severe weather that can cause power disruptions and flooding.

East Coast cities began recovery efforts following a powerful nor'easter that produced heavy rainfall, flooding, and strong winds. The storm left thousands of residents without electrical power. Authorities canceled planned events and air traffic experienced disruptions. On Nantucket, the storm uncovered parts of a 19th-century shipwreck. NBC correspondent Erin McLaughlin provided reports on the storm's effects. TODAY's Al Roker tracked the weather forecast.
