NEW YORK (AP) – President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in New York City and Long Island, which have been hard hit by the superstorm. The declaration makes federal funding available to people in the area. The storm is now moving westward across Pennsylvania and is centered about 90 miles west of Philadelphia. It’s left more than 7.5 million people in the East without power. In Bergen County, New Jersey, hundreds of people are being evacuated after a levee broke this morning.
