A powerful nor’easter has intensified, generating storm-force winds and massive waves along the East Coast. Millions are under warnings, with dangerous conditions expected through the weekend. The National Weather Service warns of flooding along the Mid-Atlantic coast, especially near New Jersey and Delaware. Wind gusts could reach 65 mph on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and nearby islands. The storm has already led to concert cancellations and changes to the Red Sox schedule. Ferry services to Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard are disrupted. Residents are bracing for power outages and debris as the storm approaches.

Venezuela’s acting president has delivered her first address to the U.N. General Assembly since coming to power. She's promising elections and says the nation’s people will determine the “right moment.” Delcy Rodriguez says her government has started a “political dialogue with opposition sectors” to secure a “process based on equal conditions for all.” Rodríguez said that when the time comes, the country’s institutions “will be prepared to guarantee an inclusive and transparent process.” Rodríguez took over in Venezuela after a surprise U.S. military raid in January that captured then-leader Nicolás Maduro and brought him to the United States to face drug trafficking charges.
