A series of powerful storm systems across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest has led to extensive power outages, serious flooding, and damage to buildings.

一連串強大的風暴系統橫掃美國東北部、中大西洋地區及中西部，導致大規模停電、嚴重淹水以及建築物受損。

The storms, which featured high winds and heavy rain, caused major disruptions to the electrical grids. According to data from PowerOutage.com, more than 500,000 customers lost power on July 6, with Pennsylvania and Michigan being the hardest hit. In Michigan, wind gusts of nearly 70 mph damaged about 2,000 power lines; a DTE Energy official emphasized that this was one of the most severe impacts in twenty years. Similarly, New Jersey and New York faced significant outages, with PSEG reporting over 4,500 disruptions and 400 fallen trees in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

這些風暴帶來強風與暴雨，導致電網嚴重中斷。根據 PowerOutage.com 的數據，7 月 6 日有超過 50 萬名客戶停電，其中賓夕法尼亞州與密西根州受災最嚴重。在密西根州，近 70 英里時速的陣風損壞了約 2,000 條電線；DTE Energy 的一名官員強調，這是 20 年來最嚴重的影響之一。同樣地，紐澤西州與紐約州也面臨嚴重停電，PSEG 報告在拿騷郡與薩福克郡有超過 4,500 宗中斷事件及 400 棵樹木倒塌。

Flash flooding also created dangerous conditions in several areas. In New Jersey, the roof of a BJ's Wholesale Club in Ocean Township collapsed, although all 27 people inside were safe. In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani ordered the evacuation of basement apartments and the cleaning of drains to reduce life-threatening risks. Furthermore, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued various warnings, noting that rain fell at rates exceeding two inches per hour in some areas. Consequently, the FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach was cancelled due to poor visibility, and some holiday events in Washington, D.C. were temporarily evacuated.

突發淹水也使數個地區陷入危險境地。在紐澤西州，Ocean Township 的一家 BJ's Wholesale Club 屋頂坍塌，所幸店內 27 人全部平安。在紐約市，市長 Zohran Mamdani memer 撤離地下室公寓並清理排水溝，以降低危及生命的風險。此外，國家氣象局 (NWS) 發布了多項警告，指出部分地區的降雨量每小時超過 2 英寸。因此，由於能見度不佳，在 Jones Beach 舉行的 FourLeaf 航空展被取消，華盛頓特區的部分節日活動也暫時撤離。

Beyond the coast, the storms affected the Midwest and interior Northeast. In Ohio, the NWS issued flash flood warnings for Lucas and Ottawa counties, while moderate flooding was reported along the South Skunk River in Iowa. In Pennsylvania, heavy rain in South Wilkes-Barre caused a local market to close and led to a truck accident on Route 309. Although some towns, such as Quincy, Michigan, only had minor flooding, the overall impact across these states has put a great deal of pressure on emergency services and power companies.

除沿海地區外，風暴也影響了中西部與東北部內陸。在俄亥俄州，NWS 向盧卡斯郡與奧塔瓦郡發布突發淹水警告，而愛荷華州的南臭鼬河 (South Skunk River) 則報告有中度淹水。在賓夕法尼亞州，South Wilkes-Barre 的強降雨導致一家當地市場關閉，並在 309 號公路上導致一起卡車事故。儘管某些城鎮（如密西根州的昆西）僅有輕微淹水，但這些州的整體影響給緊急救援服務與電力公司帶來了極大壓力。

Utility crews are continuing their work to restore power, while the National Weather Service keeps flood watches in place through July 7 for several regions.

電力公司人員正持續努力恢復供電，而國家氣象局將對多個地區維持淹水監測至 7 月 7 日。
