More than four and a half million people are still without power, in twelve different states, and fuel is becoming scarcer. The cost is still being estimated near fifty billion dollars.
Subway service began, in New York City, though some tunnels are still under water. For now, all public transportation fees have been waived. Amtrak is hoping to have their east coast service back up, on Friday. Mayor Bloomberg placed a block on any cars, with less than three people in them, from entering Manhattan.
Some areas are still seeing flooding. Mountainous parts nearby saw as much as five feet of snow, when Sandy collided with a winter storm coming down from the arctic.
National Guard units have continued search and rescue operations in New Jersey and parts of New York. They are also delivering food and water to communities that have been devastated by the storm.
