The amount of rainfall varied, with West Virginia recording 5 inches of rain, and Delaware, one to two inches. In Maryland, flooding caused by rain and storm surges along the ocean was called the "No. 1 danger" by Gov. Robert Ehrlich. One-and-a-quarter million residents of the state were calculated to have lost power.Today, it was reported today by Canadian Broadcast News that 30,000 customers of Hydro One, which distributes electricity to Ontario residents, had lost power due to failed distribution lines. The storm was still pounding the area this afternoon.
