 BOSTON (AP) — The Latest on the nor'easter that's battering coastal areas from Maryland to Maine (all times local): 
 
 1:05 p.m. 
 
 The powerful nor'easter is continuing to cause railway problems up and down the Northeast. 
 
 Amtrak said riders should expect significant delays as service between Washington, D.C. and Boston resumed Saturday. Trains are running on a modified schedule after rail lines were shut down at the height of Friday's storm. 
 
 The commuter system Metro-North said service in parts of Connecticut and Long Island, New York, remain suspended Saturday due to fallen utility poles and trees. 
 
 The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority reported some subway and commuter rail trains to communities hardest hit by flooding were experiencing delays. 
 
 Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency Saturday, joining Maryland and Virginia governors who made the declarations Friday. Declaring a state of emergency allows states to deploy federal resources and request aid.

 Coastal areas from Maryland to Maine remain under flood warnings as a powerful nor'easter moves further out to sea after inundating roads, snapping trees and knocking out power to more than 2 million homes and businesses. 
 
 Residents in eastern Massachusetts are bracing for more flooding Saturday with high tides expected around noon. Dozens of people were rescued overnight from high waters in Quincy by local police and National Guard troops. 
 
 Authorities reported two more deaths from the storm, bringing the total in the Northeast to at least seven. A 25-year-old man in Connecticut and a 57-year-old man in Pennsylvania died when trees fell on their cars Friday. 
 
 The National Weather Service expects wind gusts of up to 40 mph in coastal areas Saturday, down from Friday's hurricane-force gusts. ||||| (CNN) At least six people have been killed in a ferocious storm that hammered the Northeast with powerful winds, relentless rain and historic flooding. 
 
 The nor'easter moved out to sea Saturday, but not before it knocked out power to more than 900,000 customers from the mid-Atlantic to New England. 
 
 "People in these homes need to plan for a prolonged outage," Kurt Schwartz, director of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, said Friday night. "This is a multi-day restoration event." 
 
 By late Saturday the number of customers without electricity had been reduced to around 607,000, with more than 250,000 of those in Massachusetts. 
 
 The flooding is "the worst that we've seen in years," said Capt. John Dougan of the Quincy, Massachusetts Police Department, which had carried out more than 250 rescues between 8 a.m. Friday and midmorning Saturday. "We're seeing homes underwater, their basements were flooded out, the electricity was off."

 The National Weather Service said "gusty winds and coastal flooding" would diminish as the storm pulled away from the Atlantic coast but emergency officials urged residents on higher ground to stay indoors, even after the storm pushed out. 
 
 About 92% of customers in Scituate, Massachusetts -- home to an estimated 18,000 residents, according to the US Census Bureau -- were without electricity Saturday afternoon, according to James Boudreau, the town's administrator. He said then that it would be 72 hours before power was fully restored. 
 
 Nearly 15 million people were still under a coastal flooding warning Saturday afternoon. 
 
 The storm morphed Friday into a "bomb cyclone" after undergoing a rapid pressure drop known as bombogenesis. It slammed much of the Northeast with heavy snow and rain, prompting significant coastal flooding and hurricane-force gusts in New England. 
 
 A National Guard vehicle takes emergency workers to rescue flood-trapped residents Friday in Quincy, Massachusetts. 
 
 Winds along parts of the Massachusetts coast that whipped in excess of 90 miles per hour are due to ease Saturday, CNN forecasters said. 
 
 The storm also dumped heavy snow from Ohio to New England and into upstate New York, where more than 3 feet was recorded. 
 
 Latest developments 
 
 • Power outages: More than 607,000 customers from Virginia to Massachusetts were still without power late Saturday 
 
 • Coastal flooding: Shoreline communities saw another round of "moderate to major" flooding Saturday afternoon during high tide, with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency forecasting storm surge from 2.5 to 4 feet along the coast. 
 
 • Aftermath response: The governors of Maryland, Virginia and Massachusetts issued emergency declarations, allowing state and local agencies to help those affected. 
 
 • Flight cancellations: About 250 flights in the storm zone were canceled Saturday, according to the flight-tracking website About 250 flights in the storm zone were canceled Saturday, according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware.com . That compares with more than 3,000 US flights scratched Friday, most at the busiest Northeast airports in Boston, Philadelphia and New York 
 
 • Train services: Amtrak said nearly all its services between Boston and Washington D.C. were expected to resume Sunday after storm-related cancellations Friday.

 Five killed by falling trees 
 
 At least six people died in the storm, all killed by falling trees, authorities said. They include: a 77-year-old woman in Kingsville, Maryland; an 11-year-old boy in Putnam County, New York; a 44-year-old man in James City County, Virginia; a 6-year-old in Chesterfield County, Virginia; a Newport, Rhode Island, man in his 70s; and a New Jersey man who died while driving in Stamford, Connecticut. 
 
 The 11-year-old was in his home when a large tree came crashing down, trapping him. A responding deputy tried to free the boy, whose mother was taken to hospital. 
 
 Another young boy, just 6 years old, suffered a similar fate when a tree fell through his Virginia mobile home as he was sleeping on a top bunk bed. The boy was rushed to hospital, but his mother told the station his organs were failing. 
 
 "Doctors say we have to let him go," she told CNN affiliate WRIC

 In a separate incident, Cynthia Creighton's son was in her car when a neighbor's tree fell on top of the vehicle in Watertown, Massachusetts. 
 
 "The house shook, and we heard a noise. We didn't know what it was," Creighton told CNN affiliate WHDH . "We ran out, my son was still in the car with the tree on top of it." 
 
 Creighton's son, who was in the back seat, was not injured, she said. 
 
 Boston under water 
 
 High tides on Friday powered coastal flooding in Boston and other parts of Massachusetts, leaving streets awash for the second time since a massive nor'easter in early January. 
 
 Kayakers paddled down Boston streets and National Guard members rescued 50 people from their homes in nearby Quincy, sometimes carrying them to safety in the scoopers of front-end loaders, CNN affiliate WBZ reported

 Boston Harbor has only seen tides above 15 feet twice -- in 1978 and in January, during the last bomb cyclone. A high tide late Friday morning came up a little short, reaching 14.67 feet, but still sent water sloshing through the streets of East Boston. 
 
 More record-setting high tides might strike Boston Harbor on Saturday during the midday high tide. 
 
 With the moon full, the tide is at its highest point of the month, and the storm surge could drive as much as 4 feet of water into coastal neighborhoods, CNN meteorologists said. Massachusetts emergency officials said tides "will be astronomically high" in the next few days 
 
 "I encourage all residents to be mindful of the storm and encourage employers to take the weather into consideration, which will mostly impact the coastal areas of our city," Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said. 
 
 In Boston, many streets were closed and city officials advised people not to drive or walk in high water. 
 
 The Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said in a statement residents in the eastern part of the state should expect some rain and snow Saturday night, and minor flooding is forecast for some rivers and streams in southeastern Massachusetts. 
 
 Historic flooding prompts rescues 
 
 Quincy residents who were rescued from inundated homes told CNN they'd never seen anything like this weekend's flooding. 
 
 "It was pretty scary," said Alyssa Fitzgerald. "Once you saw the National Guard, that's when I was like, 'OK, we should have evacuated.'" 
 
 Fitzgerald and her husband hunkered down overnight after their home lost power with their 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter, she said.

 "Not like anything we've had before," Fitzgerald said. "Much worse than the snowstorm we had." 
 
 Only a few storms even can compare with this level of flooding, including a 1978 blizzard, a storm in 1991 and January's bomb cyclone, Dougan, the Quincy police captain, said Saturday. 
 
 "We've been doing evacuations all through the night and today," he said. ||||| QUINCY, Mass. — For two days, a deadly nor’easter turned a thousand-mile stretch of the East Coast into a wind tunnel, leaving millions without power, paralyzing flooded cities and towns and claiming the lives of at least eight people — some of whom had tried in vain to take shelter from hurricane-force winds. 
 
 With the worst over by Saturday, people from Maine to Georgia emerged from homes to take stock of damage from a storm that could be harsher than the “bomb cyclone” that struck the Eastern Seaboard two months ago. 
 
 Some of those first glimpses came in the dark. At the storm’s peak, winds that reached 93 mph had knocked out power to more than 2 million people, including more than 400,000 in Massachusetts and 320,000 across the state of New York. Thousands of flights were grounded at some of the country’s busiest airports, causing a ripple effect of delays and cancellations around the world. 
 
 On the ground, highways across the Northeast were clogged with tractor trailers and buses, which were prohibited from crossing some of the region’s massive bridges because of the treacherous winds. In smaller cities and towns, particularly those near the vulnerable coast, roads had turned into rivers. 
 
 Authorities called for people to seek shelter or evacuate from flood-prone areas. Still, at least eight had died during the storm as of Saturday night, according to the Associated Press, including two children. 
 
 A 6-year-old died in his bed when a tree came crashing into his family’s home in Chester, Va., and an 11-year-old died in New York. 
 
 A 77-year-old woman in Baltimore County, Md., was crushed by a tree branch while checking the mail, and a 72-year-old Newport, R.I., man, was also killed by a falling tree. 
 
 Four men were killed when trees fell on their cars — in James City County, Va.; Connecticut; Massachusetts; and Pennsylvania. 
 
 Many others recounted too-close calls. 
 
 First responders in Quincy, Mass., spent Friday night rescuing dozens suddenly trapped by rising floodwaters. 
 
 “I’m fortunate to get rescued,” Christine Way-Cotter of Quincy told Boston CBS affiliate WBZ, according to CNN. “Our house is lifted so, like, nothing came into our first floor, but our whole basement is probably six feet underwater.”

 Joan Gordon, 69, of Quincy went through a nightmare during the storm and it hasn’t ended yet. 
 
 On Friday, a tall wave shattered the glass back wall of the house where she has lived for 25 years, Gordon said. Huddled on the second floor, she watched as a wave swept her refrigerator out of the house and into the driveway across the street. 
 
 “I’ve lost everything. Everything is gone,” said Gordon, speaking Saturday from an American Red Cross shelter at Quincy High School where she had spent the night. “I don’t know if we’re ever going to get back in.” 
 
 Gordon said she isn’t sure what her next step will be. She hasn’t been able to reach nearby family to ask for a place to stay, because she didn’t have the time to grab her phone once the wave hit. 
 
 Thirty-two people were sheltered at Quincy High School on Friday night, with 17 still there by midafternoon Saturday. 
 
 Because of the dangerous conditions, more than 3,000 domestic and international flights were canceled in the United States on Friday, including complete ground stops at LaGuardia Airport in New York and Dulles Airport outside the District. 
 
 One flight encountered such heavy turbulence that “pretty much everyone on the plane threw up. Pilots were on the verge of throwing up,” the pilot said in an urgent report from a regional jetliner from Charlottesville. Amtrak also briefly suspended train service because of outages in New York City.

 For most other people, the storm was a blustery inconvenience, dropping large amounts of rain and snow. High tides that neared record levels pushed seawater into nearby neighborhoods. 
 
 Portions of New York state received more than three feet of snow. Syracuse University canceled a full day of classes because of snow for only the third time in its history. 
 
 In Duxbury, about 35 miles southeast of Boston, Eric Giumetti, the owner of Duxbury Pizza, reflected on 40 years of bad weather. He remembered his father-in-law keeping the pizza shop open during a 1978 blizzard, lighting the store with headlights from cars in the parking lot. 
 
 In 2018, he’s kept the lights on with a portable generator, purchased five years ago, when he thought superstorms and the ensuing blackouts would become an annual event, following Hurricane Sandy in 2012. 
 
 He put a power strip on the wall so people could charge their phones and told The Washington Post he was expecting a big lunchtime crowd. 
 
 “Probably everyone’s out now surveying all the damage, and in another hour or two, it’ll really get going,” he said at about 11:45 a.m. “They usually take their beach ride and then come by here to get something to eat.”

 Duxbury resident Jon Olson said he was amazed by the number of downed trees, including one directly across Marshall Street from his house, which dates to the 1870s. “Every place I look there’s trees down,” he said. “I’ve never seen this many.” 
 
 By Saturday afternoon, the highest winds and heaviest precipitation had abated, and high tides were closer to normal levels. 
 
 Entire towns south of Boston remained in the dark through most of the day, with still-gusting winds making it too dangerous for work crews to go up in bucket trucks. 
 
 Many coastal roads remained closed because of flooding. Downed trees — some already chainsawed out of the way by work crews — were visible on nearly every main road and plenty of smaller ones in Duxbury and Marshfield. 
 
 About 500,000 households on the East Coast had their power restored by earlier Saturday, but officials said wind gusts were slowing repair efforts, according to the Associated Press. 
 
 Theodore L. Keon, director of coastal resources for Chatham, a particularly vulnerable seaside town on the southeastern tip of Cape Cod, spent the days before the storm supervising employees hauling in tons of sand. 
 
 He told The Post the full extent of the pummeling that oceanside towns have taken is yet to be seen. 
 
 “I’m concerned mostly because of the duration of this event,” Keon said Friday. “The last two January storms, while significant in terms of water elevation, were of fairly short duration. 
 
 “When you’ve got a storm like this that sits off the coast, and you’ve got the constant pounding of the waves and high water because it’s not receding, that’s potentially more significant. Three or maybe even four high-tide cycles can really cause a lot of damage.”

– The powerful nor'easter that transformed into a bomb cyclone and pummeled a 1,000-mile stretch of the East Coast with rain, snow, wind, and flooding Friday and Saturday left at least six people dead, the Washington Post reports. According to CNN, winds hit over 90 miles per hour off the Massachusetts coast, and so far the reported deaths were all caused by falling trees. The victims include a 77-year-old woman in Maryland, an 11-year-old boy in New York, a 44-year-old man in Virginia, a 6-year-old in Virginia, a 72-year-old man in Rhode Island, and two men in Connecticut. A 57-year-old man was also reported dead in Pennsylvania, the AP reports. "It was pretty scary," Alyssa Fitzgerald of Quincy, Massachusetts, tells CNN. She says the storm was "not like anything we've had before." Over 2 million homes and businesses lost power Friday and early Saturday. Officials say it could be days before it's restored to some customers. Meanwhile, Capt. John Dougan of the Quincy Police Department says the flooding is "the worst that we've seen in years." Boston Harbor had a high tide Friday of 14.67 feet—the third highest since 1928. Around 19 million people remained under flood warning Saturday afternoon. "We're seeing homes underwater, their basements were flooded out," says Dougan, whose department performed over 250 rescues from Friday to Saturday morning. One Massachusetts official urged residents to stay in their homes and not go "out sightseeing and gawking." Upstate New York received over 3 feet of snow, leading Syracuse University to declare a snow day for only the third time in its history. More than 3,000 flights were canceled Friday alone.
