Powerful Storms Down Trees Across New England

A storm left almost 600,000 homes and businesses across the Northeast without power early Monday. National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Dellicarpini said there were reports of downed trees around the region and roads that were impassable in spots due to flash flooding. The storm hit Sunday — which was the fifth anniversary of Superstorm Sandy.
NBC News meteorologist Bill Karins said that "heavy rain and damaging winds" were possible on Monday over parts of the Lower Great Lakes and the Northeast. "Tropical moisture, from what was Tropical Cyclone Philippe, will draw into the rapidly deepening storm over the Northeast coast," Karins added.
