U.S. storm leaves 9 dead, 1.5 million without power
  • 6 years ago
A powerful storm that battered the northeastern United States over the weekend has left more than one-and-a-half million people without power.
The "nor'easter" has also claimed at least nine lives, as it snapped trees and cut down power lines.
Transportation was also disrupted, with hundreds of flights going in and out of major airports in New York and Boston being cancelled.
Although the strong winds, rain and snow have moved offshore, weather authorities are still warning of flooding and high tides in coastal areas from Maine to New York's Long Island.
