9 reportedly dead in Northeast flooding

Storms swept into the Northeast on Wednesday, forcing thousands of people from their homes, including more than 2,200 who fled from a rising Maryland lake. A section of interstate highway was washed out in New York state and at least nine deaths were blamed on the stormy weather. Three people were missing.

The highway washout in New York reportedly killed two, while the weather was blamed for one traffic death in Pennsylvania and one in Maryland. A 15-year-old boy drowned in a lake in Pennsylvania's Luzerne County and his mother's boyfriend drowned trying to rescue him, police said.
