For some people along the East Coast, things are slowly returning to normal. For most, the long grueling task of cleaning up from Sandy begins.
About six million people in 15 states remain without power from Sandy as of Wednesday evening. What's left of Sandy is hovering over the lower Great Lakes region, and will continue to move up into Canada.
President Obama took a tour of the damage left behind on the Jersey Shore. He joined Gov. Chris Christie on a chopper tour over devastated areas of the state.
In New York City, Wall Street re-opened for business, with Mayor Michael Bloomberg ringing the opening bell. The city buses and two of the three city airports were back up and running Wednesday. The subway system will open on a limited basis starting tomorrow. Still though, thousands in Lower Manhattan are left without power.
Snow has been the problem in the Appalachians. Some areas in West Virginia and western North Carolina have picked up three feet of snow from Sandy. Many roads in the region have been forced to close as plows can't keep up with the snowfall.
