A slow-moving September nor'easter knocked out power to about 136,000 homes and businesses across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island at its Sunday morning peak, while high tides boosted by the month's full moon pushed seawater into coastal streets for days. Outages had fallen to about 82,000 by Sunday afternoon, according to PowerOutage.us figures cited in Yahoo News live coverage.
