Snowstorm hits US East Coast

A snowstorm is passing through the US East Coast, killing at least nine people.

More than three million homes from Maryland to Massachusetts have lost electricity. Some houses may not have power for many days.

New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and other parts of New York have declared emergency states. The Connecticut governor says citizens would still feel the effects of the storm even after it stopped.

In New York, it was the fourth snowy October day in a 135 years.

Most Occupy Wall Street protesters stayed put.
