A massive storm has caused at least four deaths along the US east coast, causing power outages, flooding, and flight delays. A woman died in floodwaters outside Charleston, South Carolina, and three men in north-eastern states were killed as the storm moved towards Canada. Millions of East Coast residents were on flood watch, and over 600,000 were without power on Tuesday morning. The storm was expected to snarl up holiday travel, with widespread heavy rain leading to river flooding and flash flooding. Wind gusts reached nearly 70 mph along the southern New England shoreline. The first storm-related death was confirmed in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, where Nancy Morrow, 72, was killed after getting stuck in a vehicle submerged in water. In Hanover, Massachusetts, an 89-year-old man, Robert Horky, died after strong winds knocked a tree on his trailer, causing severe head trauma. A 40-year-old man died in Windham, Maine, while a 73-year-old Allan "Ray" Nolt died in Pennsylvania after his vehicle was submerged in high water. Heavy winds and rain made for dangerous travel conditions, leading to more than 4,900 delayed and 500 cancelled flights. The worst-affected airports were in the Boston and New York areas.
