The misery
of superstorm Sandy's devastation grew Tuesday as millions along the U.S. East
Coast faced life without power or mass transit for days, and huge swaths of New
York City remained eerily quiet. The U.S. death toll climbed to at least 48,
many of the victims killed by falling trees, and rescue work continued.
The storm
that made landfall in New Jersey on Monday evening with hurricane force cut
power to more than 8.2 million across the East and put the presidential
campaign on hold just one week before Election Day.
New York
was among the hardest hit, with its financial heart closed for a second day.
The storm caused the worst damage in the 108-year history of the city's subway
system, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it could be four or five
days before the biggest U.S. transit system was running again.
