. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/3ga2fsp . .Tropical storm Irene is sweeping through the northeast, leaving at least 15 dead in its wake, millions without power and an estimated 7-13 billion dollars in damages.
.A New Jersey Firefighter died in a lifesaving dive effort today in Princeton, N.J. He was removed from the water early this morning and has since "succumbed to his injuries," Gov. Chris Christie announced in a press conference this afternoon.
."We're not out of the woods yet. Irene remains a large and potentially dangerous storm," said U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
.Irene made landfall in Coney Island, N.Y., at 8:45 a.m. this morning as a tropical storm with 65 mph winds, but by 10 a.m. patches of blue sky and sunshine began peeking through in lower Manhattan.
.The storm, which created flood conditions across the East Coast, is accompanied by heavy rainfall and powerful winds. But Irene appeared to have caused less damage than anticipated in the New York area, and forecasts indicate the tropical storm will weaken in New England and become a post-tropical cyclone tonight or early Monday.
.The state of emergency was also expected to be lifted by noon, and the airport was scheduled to reopen later today.
.Philadelphia experienced significant local flooding in several areas, but subways, elevated trains and bus service in the city were beginning to return to activity, with full local service expected to be back up by noon today.
