Sandy survivors face voting -- and another storm Nor'easter storm will move in early Wednesday New York, New Jersey allow victims to vote via e-mail Long Islander worried about looters, not voting (CNN) -- One week after Superstorm Sandy beat up the Northeast, tearing apart homes and lives in New Jersey, New York and other areas, there's another worry on the horizon: A nor'easter is coming. Rain will start to move in early Wednesday morning and will gradually become heavier. As the day goes on, the weather will get worse with temperatures hovering in the 40s -- bad news for about 1.2 million people who are still without power in the area. It's 4 feet deep in water. Construction work has started again at the 9/11 ground zero site, which was flooded by Sandy. Ryan Hanley, Wantagh, New York, Sandy survivor But she said she hasn't been able to reach a real person with the Federal Emergency Management Agency yet. 'It's a humbling experience' A 51-year-old vice president for finance at a health care facility, Fairley said lines for food and for gas are blocks long. "Thank God, we have each other here," she said, insisting that Staten Islanders have been forgotten. Another Staten Islander, Tara Saylor, spent her weekend volunteering to hand out clothing and food. She and her home on a hill in St. George escaped Sandy's wrath. (They were) throwing their family photos out in the middle of the street. In the Long Island community of Floral Park, Kevin Cordova's family members tried cooking hot food to stay warm and wore their coats indoors. His house is uninhabitable, thanks to Sandy. "There's really no amount of blankets that can stop you from being cold in 30-degree weather," the 28-year-old said. We feel a little homeless right now. We have our house, but we can't really use it. Teacher: 'I want them to tell their stories' To the southwest in Red Bank, New Jersey, about a 90-minute drive from Floral Park, Chris Ippolito has been luckier than many folks. So far, he's only had to wrestle with sporadic power outages. But his mother-in-law's home was severely flooded. Her historic house, more than 100 years old, sat a block from the ocean in Monmouth County. Things are returning to some semblance of normalcy, he said. Ippolito is a high school teacher. He'll use his free time Tuesday to cast his vote for president.
