Damage count rises after spring nor'easter
POSTED: 11:19 p.m. EDT, April 19, 2007
Story Highlights• Damage will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to repair
• Sun finally shines on northern New England
• Crews working to restore power to about 20,000 customers

ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey (AP) -- Damage from a brutal nor'easter will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to repair, authorities said Thursday.
The storm left a swath of devastation from the beaches of South Carolina to the mountains of Maine. It knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people and is being blamed for at least 18 deaths nationwide.
Disaster response teams fanned out across the Northeast, cataloguing damage to public and private property. In just one northern New Jersey county, Bergen, the toll was estimated at $300 million alone.
"The water is not so much the problem now as the cleanup," said Brian Hague, a spokesman for Bergen County Executive Dennis McNerney.
In northern New England, the skies finally cleared after four days of rain, but some roads were still covered with water and others were waiting on repairs as highway officials and towns tried to assess the damage.
In Falmouth, Maine, David Segre pulled his 3-year-old son Sebastian in a red wagon as the buzzing of chain saws filled the air. In his neighborhood, many large trees were blown over, and the downed power, cable and telephone lines formed a jumble on the ground.
Segre and his family stayed put for three days before they'd had enough and spent Wednesday night in a hotel. But by Thursday, the sun was out and utility crews had arrived. A block away, a crew was replacing a broken utility pole and workers were chopping up the dozens of trees that had been knocked over.
"For the most part, people are pretty understanding," Segre said. "Having the sun out changes everyone's mood."
Around the region, crews were working to restore power to an estimated 20,000 customers, mostly in the areas of Brunswick, Maine; Plymouth, New Hampshire; and Rutland, Vermont.
"We are restoring service one line, one block and one customer at a time," Central Vermont Public Service Corp. Vice President Joe Kraus said in a statement. "In many cases, crews are working three or four hours to restore service to three or four customers. In other cases, we're making similar repairs that affect just one or two customers."
In New Jersey, more than 1,000 residents were still living in emergency shelters Thursday morning, and 40 communities remained under states of emergency.
"The water is receding, but it's going to be a long process," said state police Sgt. Stephen Jones.
Just outside Princeton, the David Sarnoff Library hired a document repair company to try and save its rare collection of documents from the early days of radio, television and electronics.
And in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, crews worked to save homes along the water's edge that were weakened after soil washed away from their foundations.
The storm was blamed for 18 deaths, including one woman who was pulled from a vehicle submerged in a New Jersey river Wednesday.

Storm laat grote schade en diverse doden na in VS
Thousands remain without power after storm
Story Highlights• NEW: At least 18 deaths have been blamed on the storm
• Utilities: Some places might be without power till week's end
• Road damage and fallen trees block repair crews' access
• Homeowners pick through ruined belongings as floods recede
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) -- Utility crews cut their way through downed trees Wednesday to restore service to thousands of customers still without power since a huge weekend storm battered the East Coast.
Communities from New Jersey to Maine were still coping with stream flooding after the storm dumped more than 8 inches of rain in places, along with coastal flooding brought on by astronomical high tides and heavy surf.
Eighteen deaths were blamed on the weather system, including a woman whose body was pulled from a New Jersey river on Wednesday.
New Hampshire safety officials made plans Wednesday to breach the 19th-century Hayden Mill Pond dam at Hollis to relieve the pressure of high water from the storm and avert a failure.
A dozen families living near the six-acre reservoir were evacuated Tuesday evening, and National Guard troops closed part of a highway as a precaution.
More than 50,000 businesses and residences remained without power Wednesday in Maine, where Central Maine Power Co. was being helped by repair crews from neighboring New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and as far away as Pennsylvania.
Utility officials warned that some people might be without power until the end of the week.
"It's a huge number of trees that are down, so it's a big job cutting those away," said Central Maine Power spokesman John Carroll. "Plus there are 250 broken poles. That's an enormous number of poles."
Utilities in New Hampshire reported nearly 17,000 homes and businesses still had no electricity, down from roughly 90,000 at the peak, and said some might not be reconnected until the weekend.
In many areas, road damage and fallen trees blocked repair crews' access, said New Hampshire Electric Cooperative spokesman Seth Wheeler.
"There are 18 different tree crews we've hired ... just clearing trees first before the line crews can get in there and do construction," Wheeler said.
About 1,400 New Jersey residents were in emergency shelters because of flooding, up slightly from Tuesday, as more rivers crested. (Watch I-Report video of Hoboken, New Jersey, residents escaping floodwaters )
Rescue crews went house to house by boat in a flooded section of Fairfield asking if residents of any of about three dozen homes needed to be evacuated, said State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones.
"The numbers are fluctuating, actually going down in some places as folks go home, but rising in others as people who had been holding out just give in and go to a shelter," Jones said.
Sections of some New Jersey highways were still closed by standing water Wednesday.
About 40 New Hampshire roads remained closed by high water or damage, Gov. John Lynch said. Most were expected to be reopened soon, but it could take weeks to repair landslide damage to Route 101 in Wilton, Department of Transportation spokesman Bill Boynton said.
Lynch had asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency to start a preliminary damage assessment in all 10 counties to determine eligibility for federal disaster relief. "Many New Hampshire communities have been overwhelmed by all the flooding," he said, noting that about 6,000 residents still could not return home.
Swollen rivers in Massachusetts were receding, but waves still crashed over sea walls and flooded coastal roads early Wednesday, authorities said.
Two families were evacuated from oceanfront homes in Duxbury, Massachusetts, late Tuesday but were able to return Wednesday morning, fire Capt. Skip Chandler said. Their homes had knee-deep water on the ground floor, he said. "Thank goodness it wasn't worse," he said.
Most roads had reopened in the suburbs north of New York City, as homeowners in Westchester County piled water-ruined carpets and furniture in heaps outside.
On Fire Island, a barrier island along the south side of New York's Long Island, some homes were clinging to narrow beaches atop rickety pilings because the storm's waves had scoured the sand out from beneath them.
"There's nothing I can do," said homeowner Bill Raymond, 55. "You've got to keep your fingers crossed."

Homeowners across East pick up pieces
• Nor'easter leaves huge swath of devastation on East Coast
• At least 17 deaths blamed on the storm in seven states
• Hundreds of thousands still without power
• Homeowners pick through ruined belongings as floods recede
MAMARONECK, New York (AP) -- As the floodwaters receded Tuesday, homeowners picked through ruined belongings and priceless keepsakes trying to determine what they'd lost.
Hundreds of thousands were still without power from Maine to North Carolina, and many residents of Bound Brook, New Jersey, were still barred from their homes as flooding persisted from the spring nor'easter that has claimed at least 17 lives.
In Mamaroneck, described by Gov. Eliot Spitzer as the "the epicenter of the damage done here in the state," discarded belongings damaged by the flooded Sheldrake River lined an avenue.
Trash in the middle-class neighborhood included refrigerators, stoves, mattresses, dressers, a karaoke machine, even a 30-gallon aquarium somehow ruined by water.
An upright piano, its veneer peeling, made only off-key noises when its warped keys were pounded.
"I've been collecting this stuff since I was 14," said Robert Jackson, 39, a disc jockey, as he poked through his trove of old record albums, including some 78 rpm platters and many disco-era albums. Like his deejay equipment, the records had been submerged when the water reached 5 feet high in his basement.
A few blocks away on Mamaroneck Avenue, the village's main road, merchants were assessing the damage caused by 6.75 inches of rain and floodwaters from the Sheldrake and Mamaroneck rivers that reached as high as 5 feet in their stores.
Vincent Marconi, owner of Tri-City Auto Parts, said the store lost $75,000 in equipment, including all its computers and cash register. Flood insurance had been too expensive, he said.
"You work your whole life and you find something like this," Marconi said. "It's an emotional roller coaster. Now you have to fight your way back."
In New Jersey, electricity had been shut off to the low-lying central community of Bound Brook -- which received 9 inches of rain -- and the stench of heating oil from flooded basements hung in the air.
Nearly 1,000 residents were still barred from their homes until crews could determine the structures were safe, said Hal Dietrich, Bound Brook's emergency management coordinator.
"If they go in too soon and turn something on that's not right, they could kill themselves," Dietrich said. "We lost four houses during the flood that caught fire and burned to the ground because we couldn't get the fire trucks to them through the water."
More than a quarter-million customers were without power Tuesday afternoon in North Carolina, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Vermont. A spokeswoman for Central Vermont Public Service warned that some homes could be in the dark through Saturday.
"This is one of the most devastating storms the company has seen in our 77-year history," spokeswoman Christine Rivers said. "It's hurricane-like damage."
At York Beach in Maine, seaweed littered the sidewalks and a large Coast Guard bell buoy lay on the beach, ripped from its mooring.
"We're used to this by now," said Joe Lipton, owner of Inn on the Blues. "We just say, 'Bring it on.' There's nothing you can do."
Service on Amtrak's Downeaster, which runs from Portland, Maine, to Boston, Massachusetts, was canceled for a second day Tuesday with part of the track washed out.
A 50-year-old woman and her 4-year-old granddaughter died as they tried to cross a washed-out section of road in Maine. A 15-year-old girl died Monday night after a canoe overturned outside Albany, New York. (Watch the New York storm surge demonstrate the nor'easter's dangers )
In New York's northern suburbs, a man was killed by a falling tree, while another died in a fire as street flooding delayed firefighters.
The same storm system was blamed for 12 deaths earlier in upstate New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, North Carolina, Texas and Kansas. (Watch I-Report video of Hoboken, New Jersey, residents escaping floodwaters )
A separate set of storms brought tornadoes, heavy rains and hail near Lubbock, Texas. No injuries and only minor damage were reported from the tornadoes that developed in the early afternoon, the National Weather Service said.

honderden Zeehonden aangespoeld in Kazachstan
Honderden dode zeehonden aangespoeld in Kazachstan
ALMATY - Aan de kust van de Kaspische Zee in Kazachstan zijn honderden dode zeehonden, vooral pups, aangespoeld. De oorzaak van hun dood is onduidelijk, maakte het ministerie van Rampenbestrijding woensdag bekend.
Onder de circa vijfhonderd zeehonden die sinds eind maart aanspoelden, waren vijftig volwassenen en 450 jongen. Mogelijk stierven zij aan een infectie, meldde persbureau Kazakhstan Today.
In 2000 stierven in het gebied meer dan 10.000 zeehonden door vergiftiging. In het Kazachse deel van de Kaspische zee bevinden zich grote olie- en gasvoorraden.

Storm zorgt voor veel schade en reeds 12 doden
Storm wallops Northeast for second day
Story Highlights• NEW: Storm blamed for at least 12 deaths nationwide
• More than 8 inches of rain falls in Central Park
• New Jersey officials say it is worst storm to hit state in 15 years
• Boston Marathon runners contend with rain and 52 mph winds
CROTON-ON-HUDSON, New York (AP) -- A menacing spring storm punished the Northeast for a second straight day Monday, dumping more than 8 inches of rain on Central Park and sending refrigerators and pickup trucks floating down rivers in one of the region's worst storms in recent memory.
"This one is really a horror show," Gov. Eliot Spitzer said after touring hard-hit areas north of New York City.
The nor'easter left a huge swath of devastation, from the beaches of South Carolina to the mountains of Maine. It knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people and was blamed for at least 12 deaths nationwide, including a New Jersey man who drowned inside a car.
The storm showed no immediate sign of letting up. The National Weather Service predicted showers through Wednesday night in the New York City area, with rain mixed with snow at times. (Watch the New York storm surge demonstrate the nor'easter's dangers )
The storm was especially harsh in the Westchester County suburbs north of New York City and in New Jersey, where the state was placed under a state of emergency and more than 1,400 residents were evacuated -- many by boat.
Vermont got about 17 inches of snow, with flakes still falling Monday across sections of Pennsylvania, New York and Maine.
"We have incredible amounts of damage," said Steve Costello, a spokesman for Central Vermont Public Service, describing power lines brought down by high wind. "I've never seen anything like it."
New Jersey authorities called it the worst storm to hit the state in 15 years. Five homes burned down in one town after fire crews could not reach the buildings because of floodwaters. (Watch I-Report video of Hoboken, New Jersey, residents escaping floodwaters )
"There was debris flowing down the river like you wouldn't believe -- refrigerators, I mean, you name it, it was going down the river," said homeowner John Vitro, whose basement at one point had water 5 feet high.
Wind gusts registered 60 mph near Boston, where runners had to contend with rain and 52 mph winds during the Boston Marathon. (Watch how runners plan to join the Boston Marathon despite the storm )
Gusts exceeding 80 mph in Maine toppled trees and drove rain that flooded roads and sank boats. In New Hampshire, a landslide forced the closure of part of the state's major east-west route, and winds blew out windows on oceanfront stores.
In Maine, a woman and her 4-year-old granddaughter died when they were swept into a river by the fast-moving floodwaters as they tried to cross a washed-out section of road in Lebanon, near the New Hampshire line, the Maine Warden Service reported.
A 52-year-old man died in a car stalled in deep water in an underpass in New Jersey, while a 79-year-old man also drowned in a flooded street. Another person was killed by a tornado in South Carolina, and two died in car accidents -- one in upstate New York and one in Connecticut. The same storm was blamed for five deaths earlier in Texas and Kansas.
In New York City, more than 8 inches of rain fell on Central Park, quadrupling the 101-year-old record for the date. In Croton-on-Hudson, north of the city, half of the commuter train station's parking lot was under water.
In nearby Mamaroneck, firefighters plucked Kathleen Reale, 41, and her twin boys from their window using a front-end loader. Knee-high flooding destroyed furniture in her garage and basement.
"I mean everything will be ruined," she said. "Everything will be gone. It's unbelievable."
Snow drifts stranded tractor-trailers on highways in Pennsylvania. Washouts, flooding, mudslides and fallen trees blocked roads from Kentucky to New England.
Pounding waves completely covered the beach at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, where residents reported up to 5 feet of water pouring through their front doors.
"We went to look, but the wind was so strong that you couldn't walk ... The wind just turned you back," said Linda Pepin of Bristol, Connecticut, who owns a condominium less than 50 feet from shore.
Coastal residents were urged to evacuate in parts of Maine, where Amtrak's Downeaster suspended service because tracks were washed out. Flooding delayed or canceled Amtrak service between Boston and Washington.
The storm also grounded flights at New York's three major airports. Some stranded passengers slept on cots at LaGuardia Airport. (Check FAA flight delay information)

"This one is really a horror show," Gov. Eliot Spitzer said after touring hard-hit areas north of New York City.
The nor'easter left a huge swath of devastation, from the beaches of South Carolina to the mountains of Maine. It knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people and was blamed for at least 12 deaths nationwide, including a New Jersey man who drowned inside a car.
The storm showed no immediate sign of letting up. The National Weather Service predicted showers through Wednesday night in the New York City area, with rain mixed with snow at times. (Watch the New York storm surge demonstrate the nor'easter's dangers )
The storm was especially harsh in the Westchester County suburbs north of New York City and in New Jersey, where the state was placed under a state of emergency and more than 1,400 residents were evacuated -- many by boat.
Vermont got about 17 inches of snow, with flakes still falling Monday across sections of Pennsylvania, New York and Maine.
"We have incredible amounts of damage," said Steve Costello, a spokesman for Central Vermont Public Service, describing power lines brought down by high wind. "I've never seen anything like it."
New Jersey authorities called it the worst storm to hit the state in 15 years. Five homes burned down in one town after fire crews could not reach the buildings because of floodwaters. (Watch I-Report video of Hoboken, New Jersey, residents escaping floodwaters )
"There was debris flowing down the river like you wouldn't believe -- refrigerators, I mean, you name it, it was going down the river," said homeowner John Vitro, whose basement at one point had water 5 feet high.
Wind gusts registered 60 mph near Boston, where runners had to contend with rain and 52 mph winds during the Boston Marathon. (Watch how runners plan to join the Boston Marathon despite the storm )
Gusts exceeding 80 mph in Maine toppled trees and drove rain that flooded roads and sank boats. In New Hampshire, a landslide forced the closure of part of the state's major east-west route, and winds blew out windows on oceanfront stores.
In Maine, a woman and her 4-year-old granddaughter died when they were swept into a river by the fast-moving floodwaters as they tried to cross a washed-out section of road in Lebanon, near the New Hampshire line, the Maine Warden Service reported.
A 52-year-old man died in a car stalled in deep water in an underpass in New Jersey, while a 79-year-old man also drowned in a flooded street. Another person was killed by a tornado in South Carolina, and two died in car accidents -- one in upstate New York and one in Connecticut. The same storm was blamed for five deaths earlier in Texas and Kansas.
In New York City, more than 8 inches of rain fell on Central Park, quadrupling the 101-year-old record for the date. In Croton-on-Hudson, north of the city, half of the commuter train station's parking lot was under water.
In nearby Mamaroneck, firefighters plucked Kathleen Reale, 41, and her twin boys from their window using a front-end loader. Knee-high flooding destroyed furniture in her garage and basement.
"I mean everything will be ruined," she said. "Everything will be gone. It's unbelievable."
Snow drifts stranded tractor-trailers on highways in Pennsylvania. Washouts, flooding, mudslides and fallen trees blocked roads from Kentucky to New England.
Pounding waves completely covered the beach at Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, where residents reported up to 5 feet of water pouring through their front doors.
"We went to look, but the wind was so strong that you couldn't walk ... The wind just turned you back," said Linda Pepin of Bristol, Connecticut, who owns a condominium less than 50 feet from shore.
Coastal residents were urged to evacuate in parts of Maine, where Amtrak's Downeaster suspended service because tracks were washed out. Flooding delayed or canceled Amtrak service between Boston and Washington.
The storm also grounded flights at New York's three major airports. Some stranded passengers slept on cots at LaGuardia Airport. (Check FAA flight delay information)
