More than five million people remain without power, while Vermont is
reeling from its worst floods in many decades.
.
Insurance claims could top $7bn (4.3bn), the Consumer Federation of
America estimated.
.
Irene has passed into Canada, after causing havoc on the US east coast
from North Carolina to Vermont.
.
Driving rains and flood tides damaged homes and cut power to more than
three million people in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York alone.
.
Vermont governor lashes out
.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Agriculture Secretary Tom
Vilsack will visit North Carolina and Virginia on Tuesday to survey the
storm damage.
.
Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Craig Fugate will head to
Vermont.
.
In north-eastern Canada the first possible Irene-related fatality has been
recorded.
.
A man was swept away in Yamaska, north-east of Montreal, as two cars
plunged into a chasm created when a road was washed away, Quebec police
said.
.
Nearly a quarter of a million people in Quebec, which saw winds as high as
62mph (100km/h), lost power on Sunday night.
.
An Associated Press news agency tally found 40 people had been killed in
11 US states, mostly because of falling trees, ocean waves, downed power
lines and raging floods.
.
In the rural state of Vermont, the last to be hit before Irene reached
Canada, the storm washed away bridges and swamped the town of Brattleboro.
.
Touring the town, Governor Peter Shumlin criticised media coverage for
focusing on New York, saying: "We're not Manhattan, but we have human
lives here in Vermont, too."
.
"It breaks your heart to see the extraordinary devastation that we're
seeing here in Vermont," he said.
