The Northeast is known for major, monstrous storms; however, this is a new type of threat: a "historic storm". Weather reports have warned citizens in Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Jersey to stay put. AccuWeather meteorologist, Tom Kines, told USA Today that the NE area could receive 30-40 mile per hour winds accompanied by four to twelve inches of snow.
It's essentially a blizzard, according to the National Weather Service. Mayor Martin Walsh of Boston urged Bostonians to look after their neighbors for this storm might just be the worst storm the Northeast has yet to see.
Analysis: This relates to the many storms the United States has seen, including the dust bowl. We are fortunate now because we have technology and medical advancements that can aid anyone who is hurt and inform the public on what to expect when a huge storm like this is about to come through.

Those winds are so strong I wouldn't be surprised if it did some damage to the community.
