Superstorm Sandy Live Updates, Photos: Hudson River Flooding, ConEd Outages & More
AP/The Huffington Post | Posted: 10/29/2012 9:40 pm EDT Updated: 10/29/2012 9:40 pm EDT
Superstorm Sandy causes rising water to flood into a subterranian parking garage on October 29, 2012, in the Financial District of New York, United States.
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Superstorm Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coastline with 80 mph winds Monday night and hurled an unprecedented 13-foot surge of seawater at New York City, threatening its subways and the electrical system that powers Wall Street. At least four deaths were blamed on the storm, and the presidential campaign ground to a halt a week before Election Day.
Sandy knocked out power to at least 3.1 million people, and New York's main utility said large sections of Manhattan had been plunged into darkness by the storm. Water pressed into the island from three sides.
(SCROLL DOWN FOR LIVE UPDATES)
Just before its center reached land, the storm was stripped of hurricane status, but the distinction was purely technical, based on its shape and internal temperature. It still packed hurricane-force wind, and forecasters were careful to say it remained every bit as dangerous to the 50 million people in its path.
As the storm closed in, it smacked the boarded-up big cities of the Northeast corridor — Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston — with stinging rain and gusts of more than 85 mph. It also converged with a cold-weather system that turned it into a superstorm, a monstrous hybrid consisting not only of rain and high wind but snow.
Sandy made landfall at 8 p.m. near Atlantic City, which was already mostly under water and saw a piece of its world-famous Boardwalk washed away earlier in the day.
Authorities reported a record surge more than 13 feet high at the Battery at the southern tip of Manhattan, from the storm and high tide combined.

Hotel Stay Offers Welcome Distraction From Storm Damage
HuffPost's Chris Kirkham reports:
The city is silent and dark. Power has been out for hours. Parts of town have become an obstacle course of downed trees and flooded roads, with bright-red flares warning drivers to stay away.
But despite the chaos just outside the sliding doors, the Holiday Inn-Bridgeport's lobby feels more like a tourist destination than a de facto shelter for those fleeing floodwaters and the prospect of long-term power outages.

Anger Over American Apparel's Hurricane Sale
HuffPost Canada reports:
Late Monday night, as much of the eastern U.S. seaboard was being pelted by the winds, rain and waves of Hurricane Sandy, several retailers were sending eblasts to their customers to let them know they were holding inclement weather sales. The most prominent notice came from American Apparel. The ad, which featured the verbiage, "In case you're bored in the storm, 20% off everything for the next 36 hours," was reportedly sent to fans of the retailer in the exact states where Hurricane Sandy was set to do the most damage -- New Jersey and New York.

A woman was killed by flying debris as high winds from the remnants of Sandy roared into Toronto, knocking out power to several thousand buildings at the beginning of what promised to be a long, stormy night. The woman, reportedly in her 50s, was killed near a Staples store at the intersection of Keele St. and St. Clair Ave. W. in the city’s west end, CBC reports.
Metal debris from the store’s sign struck the woman, knocking her unconscious shortly after 7 p.m. Paramedics tried but couldn’t revive her and she was declared dead at the scene, CTV reports.

This photo provided by the U.S. Coast Guard shows the HMS Bounty, a 180-foot sailboat, submerged in the Atlantic Ocean during Hurricane Sandy approximately 90 miles southeast of Hatteras, N.C., Monday, Oct. 29, 2012. The Coast Guard rescued 14 of the 16 crew members by helicopter. Hours later, rescuers found one of the missing crew members, but she was unresponsive. They are still searching for the captain.
