Sandy update: 39 dead in US; over 8.2 million in East without power

A roundup of Hurricane Sandy damage via AP: millions of Americans from Maine to South Carolina are still without electricity, New York City is quiet and “all but closed off by car, train and air,” and the weather system is still delivering wind, rain, and even snow. 39 people in the US died from the superstorm, many crushed by falling trees. More than 69 were killed in the Caribbean, and the damage to property and infrastructure in Jamaica, Haiti, and other nations there is massive.
