The threat of flooding prompted officials to close the city’s subway system and bus service. They also cut power to Lower Manhattan, including the Financial District, to avoid saltwater damage. Stock exchanges, schools, theaters and businesses also closed. Water flowed into commuter tunnels.
New York City Mayor MIchael Bloomberg says it will be some time until New York returns to business as usual.
The storm has claimed at least ten lives in New York
"In addition to the lives we lost, the damage we suffered across the city is clearly extensive and it will not be repaired overnight. The two biggest challenges faing our city going forward are getting our mass transit system up and running and restoring power," Bloomberg said.
Sandy has been downgraded from a hurricane. It hit the New York area with winds of up to 128 kilometers per hour.
