Massive Storm in Northeast Knocks Out Power, Kills Four, Including Elderly Man, Woman Trapped in Their Cars on Flooded Roads

More than 400,000 customers in Maine were still without power early Tuesday after a deadly storm that started in Florida barreled through the Northeast on Monday, killing at least four people.

Flood warnings were still posted for large areas of central Maine on Tuesday as rain-swollen rivers remain near flood stages.

Central Maine Power said it could be several days before all customers have their electricity restored.

In Windham, Maine, police said part of a tree fell and killed a man who was removing debris from his roof.

More than 5 inches of rain fell in some areas and wind gusts reached nearly 70 mph along the New England coast.

More than 130,000 customers in Massachusetts were still without power on Tuesday morning, according to the tracking site poweroutage.us.

An 89-year-old Hingham, Massachusetts, man was killed early Monday when high winds caused a tree to fall on a trailer, authorities said.

In Catskill, New York, a driver was killed after their vehicle went around a barricade on a flooded road and was swept into the Catskill Creek, the Times Union reported.

A man was pronounced dead in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania after he was found in a submerged vehicle Monday morning.

On Sunday in South Carolina, one person died when their vehicle flooded on a road in a gated community in Mount Pleasant.

In Vermont, three people were rescued from a home in Jamaica, and another in Waterbury when that person's vehicle was swept away by floodwaters, said Public Safety Commissioner Jennifer Morrison at a press conference with the governor.

A shelter was set up in Barre and Morrison urged people to stay off the roads Monday night and not drive through floodwaters as the rivers are expected to rise.

Many flights were canceled or delayed across the region. Boston's Logan International Airport grounded all flights Monday morning because of the poor conditions, leading to more than 100 canceled flights and about 375 delays, according to the flight-tracking service FlightAware.

The storm moved up the East Coast on Saturday and Sunday, breaking rainfall records and requiring water rescues in South Carolina.
