Did a September 2026 Northeast nor’easter kill a New York City Housing Authority worker and leave about 100,000 without power?

Yes. According to an Associated Press report published September 27, 2026, the New York City Housing Authority said one of its employees was killed by a fallen tree in Brooklyn as a slow-moving nor’easter brought heavy rain and strong winds to the U.S. Northeast. Emergency crews worked to restore power after downed trees contributed to outages for about 100,000 customers in the region, and hundreds of flights were canceled at Boston Logan International Airport.
