Utility crews worked Tuesday to restore power to hundreds of thousands of customers in Maine and some rivers continued to rise following a powerful storm that hit the northeastern U.S., drenching communities and bringing windspeeds over 60 mph in some areas. At least five people were killed. "It was pretty loud, the wind was pretty strong, branches are breaking, things are flapping outside," said Drew Landry of Hallowell, Maine, who lost power and was looking at a street that was underwater Tuesday. "All the basements are pretty much flooded." Many communities got well over 3 inches of rain during the storm. Maine State Police were looking Tuesday for two people whose car was swept away by floodwaters. Some towns in Vermont, which suffered major flooding from a storm in July, saw more flood damage. Seventeen people were rescued in Conway, New Hampshire — four of of them by helicopter.
