Thousands without power as winds and heavy rains wallop East Coast

NEW YORK -- A flood warning was in effect Sunday evening for the tri-state area as a storm system brought heavy, pounding rain and dangerous wind, CBS New York reports.

As of 9 p.m., the region was still dealing with torrential rains -- brought on by a cold front from the west and tropical moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Philippe.

The Associated Press reports that southern New England appeared to suffer the brunt of damage -- more than 40,000 Connecticut customers were without power late Sunday night.

CBS News has learned that there are more than 148,000 people without power in the Northeast as of late Sunday night.

And 15 minutes to get to work in Central NJ today. No limbs or power lines down, but the pooling water seriously slowed us down this morning.

Stay safe out there!
