HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett has finished a conference call with other governors from states hit by the superstorm.

Corbett says it's too early to know whether Pennsylvania will get the major disaster declaration it's seeking.

He says President Barack Obama expressed concern about outages, and that the full damage to Pennsylvania isn't yet known because the storm is still slowly making its way north up to New York.

About 2,000 Pennsylvania National Guard members are working around the state Tuesday and power outages still stand at nearly 1.3 million.

Pennsylvania is sending emergency responders to New York and New Jersey, including 35 ambulances, mass casualty bus and an urban search and rescue unit.
