The massive storm that started out as Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast and morphed into a huge and problematic system, killing at least 72 people in the United States. Some southern coastal areas remain underwater, but officials say the damage is far less than anticipated. Continued cleanup from fallen trees and damage to homes and businesses, but relief that storm wasn't worse. Fires that destroyed several homes in a shore town rekindled, fueled by natural gas. National Guard arrived to evacuate residents of Hoboken and distribute supplies. Traffic choked city streets as residents tried to return to work in a New York City whose subway system remained crippled. Two of three major airports in metropolitan area re-opened with limited flights. The search continued off the coast for the captain of a tall ship that sank as Sandy headed north. The core of Sandy made its way north through western Pennsylvania into western New York, causing wind and flooding that closed roads. Residents may not be able to return to their homes for another day in some coastal communities amid power outages and impassable roads. A route across the Smoky Mountains closed as heavy, wet snow accumulated to as much as 2 feet. Winds knocked down trees and power lines, and schools were closed, but damage was not as severe as feared in a state still recovering from Tropical Storm Irene. Federal and local governments asked people to return to work Wednesday, and transit systems resumed full service. Eight buildings in Nicholas County ? an apartment complex, a grocery store, two convenience stores, a hardwood plant and three homes ? collapsed under the weight of heavy snow, but no injuries were reported.
