The latest on the fallout from Superstorm Sandy, which hit the East Coast last week:
â" NEW JERSEY â" Hundreds of thousands go a week without electricity, natural gas remains cut off to barrier islands, subway service to New York still suspended. Some schools reopen.
â" NEW YORK â" New Yorkers forced from their homes by the storm will be allowed to vote by affidavit ballot at any polling site in the state.
â" WEST VIRGINIA â" Red Cross and Southern Baptist Convention provide hot meals and send food and water to those without power after heavy snowfall.
â" FORECAST â" Residents keep a wary eye on the weather forecast, which called for another storm, not nearly as strong but colder, to strike the region mid-week.
â" DEATHS: At least 106; figure has fluctuated as authorities release more information.
â" POWER OUTAGES: More than 1 million customers, mostly in New Jersey and New York, down from a peak of more than 8.5 million.
