Jack Boreham- State of the Northeast after Philippe

Now that the tropical storm Philippe has passed it has left many without power in the Northeast region. It is so bad in main that the governor has declared a state of emergency. This storm also caused a lot of flooding in the region. They swelling of rivers and flood waters have even been reported to carry away some houses. This storm has also severed transportation like cars, trains, and planes. In New Hampshire, 179 roads, including 40 state roads were closed this Monday due to conditions and debris. It has also effected education in the region by forcing dozens of schools to close for a day or more.

This event can only remind me of hurricane Sandy, which only hit the region 5 years ago. Luckily no deaths have been reported so far. I hope that the region will return to normal soon. I also hope that conditions don't get worse in that region too.
