People stand around a table that a store has placed outside with power bars for cell phone charging, in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in New York November 1, 2012. The subway has been put back on limited service. Rescuers searched flooded homes for survivors, drivers lined up for hours to get scarce gasoline and millions remained without power on Thursday as New York City and nearby towns struggled to recover from Sandy, one of the biggest storms ever to hit the United States.
