1.1 million still without power in Northeast after Philippe


(CNN) The Northeast struggled with power outages and commuting delays Monday as the remnants of Tropical Storm Philippe passed through the region. It left behind swollen rivers and downed trees that damaged roads, snarled traffic and left millions without power. By Monday evening, more than 1.1 million power customers were still without electricity, including 248,557 in Massachusetts and 137,900 in Rhode Island. Paul LePage declared a state of emergency to give power companies more flexibility to make repairs. The National Weather Service reported winds of 131 mph on Mount Washington in New Hampshire.
