President Barack Obama promised help for storm victims on the East Coast of the United States assistance ahead of a visit to New Jersey on Wednesday. New Jersey beach communities were among the hardest hit by super storm Sandy – which killed at least 43 people – as she came ashore Monday night.
New York City was also dealing with continued power outages and mass transit stoppages, but is slowly trying to restart business in the country’s financial capital.
People have begun returning to the homes they abandoned on the orders of local authorities.
Flights have resumed to airports in New York. Some federal offices, schools and Wall Street has reopened.
The last time the stock exchange shut down for so long because of the weather was in 1888.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the trading floor did not sustain any damage and is fully operational.
The worst damage was in the New York area, the most densely populated stretch of land in the country.
New York’s subway system sustained the worst damage in its 108-year history, said Joseph Lhota, head of the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA).
Subway tunnels were flooded and electrical equipment will have to be cleaned before the network can reopen.
At least 22 people were killed in the city, according to Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The city is also working to get its mass transit system back on track. Some 8.5 million people use public transport daily. As of Tuesday evening, limited bus service was beginning in the five boroughs, but subway service remained halted, because flooded tunnels still need to be pumped of millions of gallons of water.
Kevin Burke, the head of the city’s power company, Con Edison, said Sandy was the worst storm the utility has ever had to deal with, knocking out power to some 750,000 customers.
