[b]CNN reports:[/b] About 8 million customers are without power in 15 states and the District of Columbia.

Restoration of power to all customers in areas served by overhead power lines could take at least a week; restoring underground lines will take four days, according to Con Edison, which provides power in most of New York City and Westchester County, New York.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=arial][size=3]
[b]00:20[/b] Sandy surge: East Coast not yet safe[b]:[/b] [b]CNN reports:[/b] Though the remnants of Sandy are now centered over western Pennsylvania, the large storm still will affect the East Coast this afternoon, and during high tide some more coastal flooding 'in the range of 2 to 4 feet' is possible, said the National Hurricane Centre Director Rick Knabb.

Some minor shoreline flooding also could happen at the Great Lakes, Knabb said.

"I don't want people to (think) that the weather event is anywhere near over," Knabb said.[/size][/font][/color]
