NEW YORK Fuel supplies headed toward disaster zones in the U.S. Northeast on Saturday and a million customers regained electricity as near freezing temperatures threatened to add to the misery of coastal communities devastated by superstorm Sandy. 
 
 The power restorations relit the skyline in Lower Manhattan for the first time in nearly a week and allowed 80 percent of the New York City subway service to resume, but more than a million homes and businesses still lacked power, down from 3.5 million on Friday. 
 
 The power outages combined with a heating oil shortage meant some homes could go cold as unseasonably frigid weather sets in. Forecasters saw temperatures dipping into the upper 30s Fahrenheit (around 3 degrees Celsius) on Saturday night with freezing temperatures expected next week. 
 
 In Staten Island, the New York City borough whose half a million residents bore the brunt of Sandy, people tried to stay warm. 
 
 Tom Clark, 43, and family members were burning wood in a steel drum on their front yard. Clark said the family and their dogs planned to go stay at his mother-in-law's heated house. 
 
 U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano visited Staten Island on Friday amid assertions by some angry residents that they had been ignored by emergency relief workers. 
 
 The weather forecast remains bleak. An aggressive early-season "Nor'easter" storm was expected to hit the battered New England coast next week with strong winds and heavy rain. 
 
 New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Saturday urged those without power and heat - especially the elderly and other vulnerable groups - to head to shelters where they could keep warm and receive food. 
 
 "Right now it's starting to really get cold," he said. 
 
 In New York and New Jersey, more than 18,000 people remained in shelters, Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate said. 
 
 BLOOMBERG CRITICIZES UTILITY 
 
 "There's no heating oil around," said Vincent Savino, the president of Statewide Oil and Heating, which usually supplies 2,000 buildings across New York City. "I don't know how much fuel we have left: maybe a day or two." 
 
 The post-storm chaos also threatened to jumble Tuesday's election, with President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney locked in a tight race. 
 
 The storm's death toll rose to at least 110 with nine more deaths reported in New Jersey on Saturday, raising the total in that state to 22. Bloomberg put the New York City death toll at 41. 
 
 Sandy killed 69 people in the Caribbean before turning north and hammering the U.S. Eastern Seaboard on Monday with 80 mile-per-hour (130-kph) winds and a record surge of seawater that swallowed oceanside communities in New Jersey and New York, and flooded streets and subway tunnels in New York City. 
 
 Bloomberg praised utility Consolidated Edison for making "significant progress" in restoring power to customers, but warned New Yorkers that it would be days before everyone had electricity again and fuel shortages ended. 
 
 But he had sharp words for the Long Island Power Authority, LIPA, which he said "has not acted aggressively enough" in its power restoration efforts, above all in the Rockaways, a beachfront community in the borough of Queens. 
 
 New Jersey Governor Chris Christie ordered rationing that allows only half of all cars to buy gasoline each day. 
 
 "I was there (at the Jersey Shore) yesterday and I will tell you, it looked like we had been bombed," Christie said "There are homes in Bay Head on the beach that had been driven by the storm surge into the houses across the street." 
 
 Obama won praise for the federal storm response but the devastation was so widespread that angry storm victims continued to appear on television days after landfall. The storm damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and displaced voters, forcing election officials to improvise at early polling stations. 
 
 Christie ordered county clerks in New Jersey to open on Saturday and Sunday to accommodate early voters and ensure a "full, fair and transparent open voting process." 
 
 Tight gasoline supplies have tested the patience of drivers - fistfights have broken out in mile-long lines of cars - but a reopened New York Harbor meant fuel was reaching terminals. 
 
 To alleviate one of the country's worst fuel chain disruptions since the energy shortage in the 1970s, some 8 million gallons of gasoline and other petroleum products have been delivered since Friday, with much more expected this weekend, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said. 
 
 RUNNING ON EMPTY 
 
 Cuomo also announced the Defense Department would set up five mobile gas stations in the metropolitan area, providing people with up to 10 gallons of free gas. The New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs later said emergency personnel and first responder vehicles would have priority. 
 
 At least 1,000 drivers queued up at the Freeport Armory in Long Island, only to be told the gasoline would not arrive for at least eight hours more, one driver said. 
 
 "There's just so many people getting very frustrated. People don't know what to do," said Lauren Popkoff, 49, a history teacher who had been in line for four hours. 
 
 Bloomberg said the fuel shortages would be easing soon. 
 
 According to the U.S. Energy Informational Administration the number of dry stations in the New York metropolitan area plunged to 38 percent on Saturday from 67 percent on Friday. The U.S. Department of Energy confirmed on Saturday that most filling stations in the metro area had fuel. 
 
 New York City gave its overstretched police by canceling Sunday's marathon, a popular annual race that had become a lightning rod for critics concerned it was a diversion of resources. 
 
 People are also worried about crime. In one hard-hit Queens neighborhood, a garage full of debris stood open with a sign next to it reading: "LOOTERS WILL BE CRUCIFIED - GOD HELP YOU." 
 
 Obama visited FEMA headquarters in Washington for a briefing before heading to the Midwest on Saturday for a final weekend of campaigning. He told officials to cut through government "red tape" to help storm-hit areas. 
 
 The Obama administration directed the purchase of up to 12 million gallons (45 million liters) of unleaded fuel and 10 million gallons of diesel, to be trucked to New York and New Jersey. 
 
 The government also waived rules that barred foreign-flagged ships from taking gasoline, diesel and other products from the Gulf of Mexico to Northeast ports. 
 
 Consolidated Edison, battling what it called the worst natural disaster in the company's 180-year history, restored electricity to many Manhattan neighborhoods, though some 11,000 customers on the island were without service. 
 
 The company said 270,000 customers in New York City and Westchester County still had no power, down from nearly a million who were cut off by the storm.

 Power returned to hundreds of thousands of customers, with nearly all of Manhattan back to having electricity. The parks reopened, the main port in the city was working again and millions of gallons of gasoline was expected to start flowing to gas stations that had run dry. 
 
 But outside Manhattan, in the hardest hit neighborhoods of Queens and Staten Island as well as along the Jersey Shore and on Long Island, it was just the latest day to struggle through, working to both recover and rebuild after the storm. 
 
 More than 100 people in the United State died as a result of Hurricane Sandy, which struck the East Coast on Monday. 
 
 Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York said Saturday in a briefing that while progress was being made, there was much to be done. 
 
 “We are getting through it,” he said. “The worst is behind us.” 
 
 Along with the power coming on for more residents, Mr. Cuomo said that 80 percent of the subway service had been restored and that Manhattan had been reconnected by subway to Queens and Brooklyn. 
 
 And while the governor and Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, tried to reassure residents that gasoline supplies were on the way, long lines were reported Saturday at stations in New York and New Jersey. 
 
 “Long lines will get shorter,” Mr. Schumer said. “Hot tempers will go down.” 
 
 In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie has imposed gas rationing, which starts at noon Saturday, leading to reports of drivers hurrying to fill up before the deadline. Drivers will be allowed to buy gasoline every other day. 
 
 A government survey conducted on Friday showed that nearly two-thirds of the stations in the metropolitan region were out of fuel. Mr. Cuomo urged patience and said that the situation would improve soon. 
 
 Since the New York City port reopened, fuel has once again started to flow through the system. Mr. Cuomo said eight million gallons of gas was being delivered to stations and he expected 28 million gallons to be distributed through the weekend. The Department of Defense was also stepping up its efforts to deliver fuel and will be bringing 12 million gallons of gas to the region over the weekend, setting up distribution depots to help ease the crunch at gas stations. 
 
 The most visible sign of progress came throughout the night, as New York City, once divided between light and dark, was united again. 
 
 As of Saturday morning, about 5,800 customers in Manhattan remained without power. 
 
 Just as significant as the return of power itself was what it meant for every other aspect of the recovery, specifically transit. As the power returns, subways can start running their full routes, and one of the biggest logistical problems caused by the storm will begin to be improved. 
 
 Throughout the night Friday, as lampposts, streetlights and storefronts flickered to life, cheers could be heard across whole neighborhoods. 
 
 In Lower Manhattan, the power restoration started around 5 p.m. on Friday in the East Village. The network there, known as Cooper Square, serves about 67,000 customers between 14th and Canal Streets. The Chelsea neighborhood sparked to life about 45 minutes later, bringing back power to an additional 25,000 customers between 14th and 31st Streets on the West Side. 
 
 The next big network came back to life around 7:30 p.m., when 30,000 customers east of Fifth Avenue between 14th and 31st Streets were once again able to turn on their lights. 
 
 Throughout the night, Consolidated Edison’s crews moved to make good on a promise that company executives made to restore power to all of Manhattan before Saturday. As each network came online, they got a bit closer to getting power back to all 220,000 people below 39th Street who lost it. 
 
 By morning, they had largely succeeded. There was work to be done on the Fulton Network, which is important to the subway system as well, and 65 buildings damaged in the storm would remain without power until crews could get to them individually, a Con Edison spokesman said. ||||| As overnight temperatures fell to the 40s, power crews in more than a dozen states navigated a tangle of fallen trees, downed power lines and dangerous floodwaters in the painstaking, house-by-house work of reconnecting millions of customers left in the dark by Sandy.

 Power was restored by late Thursday to about half of 10 million households and businesses that lost electricity during the storm, according to the Edison Electric Institute, a trade group that represents investor-owned utilities. But millions more remained cut off from power needed to operate furnaces, heaters, refrigerators and lights. 
 
 "It's freezing like an ice box," said Lydia Crespo, who was using a gas stove to heat her home in Staten Island, N.Y., still without power. "No hot water, no light. All you smell is the gas, the oil, the mold." 
 
 The death toll attributed to Sandy reached at least 90, authorities said Thursday. Transit bottlenecks began to ease in New York City with the reopening of some subways, but in New Jersey and elsewhere lines stretched long from gas stations lucky enough to have both electricity and gasoline. Amtrak said it would resume southbound train service from Pennsylvania Station on Thursday evening, and limited service to Boston on Friday. Late on Thursday NJ Transit announced that limited service into New York's Penn Station would begin Friday, but the system remained largely out of service.

 U.S. Air Force cargo planes were flying utility crews and 636 tons of equipment, including electric company bucket trucks, to speed power restoration. 
 
 Long-standing mutual-aid pacts, activated days before Sandy hit, drew an emergency team of more than 64,000 workers from 82 utility companies across the U.S., including a crew from San Diego Gas & Electric that arrived Thursday. 
 
 "It's epic," said Brian Wolff, senior vice president of Edison Electric. "I think it's the biggest mobilization we've seen." 
 
 Their task is Herculean: 1.7 million customers were without electricity in New Jersey; 1.5 million in New York; 500,000 in Pennsylvania; 348,000 in Connecticut; 139,000 in West Virginia; 40,000 in Maryland; and 21,000 in Rhode Island. 
 
 New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said neighborhoods served by overhead lines may not be repaired until the end of next week. "We have volunteer crews from across the country," Mr. Bloomberg said. "But it's just an enormous job, and you have to go up in a bucket and fix each one as you get to it." 
 
 Enlarge Image Close Natalie Keyssar for The Wall Street Journal Peter Gorz pushes a livery cab in Brooklyn, N.Y., to a gas station, where he had to wait three hours to get fuel. 
 
 Utility crews were slowed by downed trees blocking roads and homes with standing water that made them too dangerous to reconnect to the grid. 
 
 "We've got to go block by block, house by house," said Ralph Izzo, chairman of Public Service Enterprise Group Inc., a New Jersey utility. 
 
 Workers at the utility, which serves a wide swath of the state, used toothbrushes to scrub the mud from flooded equipment at switching stations, he said, trying to get them working for 780,000 customers without power. Workers used rags to dry the gear by hand. 
 
 Mr. Izzo said he worried not just about customers but employees. He coordinated the rescue of one crew stranded by floodwaters rushing a Newark switching station. He heard from a surgeon pleading for power at a hospital to perform a heart transplant and from mothers with infants in unheated homes. 
 
 Mr. Izzo made sure electricity was restored to the surgeon, but, he said, the mothers had to wait. "Your heart genuinely goes out to them and the discomfort they're feeling," he said. "But you have to be honest with them and say your best action is to put another blanket on."

 In Livingston, N.J., the Leit family was among Mr. Izzo's customers without power as overnight temperatures fell. Jeremy Leit, who will be 5 years old Sunday, had a cold before the storm hit. "But now it's gotten worse," said his father, Richard Leit. "It's turned into pneumonia, the doctor said today." 
 
 The family has been "bouncing around to neighbors' houses for a few hours, to charge up phones and give the kids a break and a play date," he said. Mr. Leit said he and his wife were debating whether to drive to Pennsylvania for a hotel. "Our car has heat," he said. "It's probably more comfortable than the house." 
 
 He has only been able to reach a recorded message at his utility. "Every time it disconnects you and says we're sorry, it's too busy," he said. 
 
 A spokeswoman said the Public Service Enterprise Group has taken more than one million calls in the last three days, and that "when issues escalate we do our best to resolve them." She added that the utility had restored electricity to a hospital not far from the Leit family's home. 
 
 Mr. Leit was among millions of utility customers asking why the restoration of power wasn't faster—and why others received electricity ahead of them. 
 
 The reason, according to utilities and regional grid operators, is that crews focus first on restoring power to high-voltage lines that move electricity long distances to power plants and larger substations. 
 
 Then workers restore connection for such essential services as hospitals, fire stations, police stations and traffic lights. Next, work begins on distribution lines that serve the largest neighborhoods. While that results in the most efficient use of limited work crews, it results in so-called asymmetric restoration: A great number of people get service restored in the first few days; others wait far longer because their lines serve fewer and fewer customers. 
 
 As many as half a million homes can't receive power because they were too badly damaged or because floods posed an electrocution hazard, officials said. 
 
 As food in unplugged refrigerators began to go bad, FEMA representatives started handing out dry ice in parts of New York City. To stay warm, some residents used gas stoves. Two teenage women, ages 18 and 19, died from carbon monoxide poisoning from using a portable generator indoors in Newark, N.J., where half the city was without power. "We mourn their loss," Mayor Cory Booker said Thursday. "It was tragic and entirely preventable." 
 
 He warned residents of carbon-monoxide poisoning from using stoves or ovens to heat their homes. "This is dangerous," he said. "Do not do this." 
 
 Christina Laracuente, a 20-year-old-resident of the LaGuardia Houses, one of New York's public-housing developments on the Lower East Side, said she had heard from a neighbor of people posing as New York City Housing Authority officials to enter apartments. 
 
 "It's scary because this is the ghetto," she said. "This is the hood. It's not good on a daily basis. Imagine during a blackout."

 NEW YORK | 
 
 NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York taxi and car service companies started pulling vehicles off the road on Thursday as the fuel crunch deepened, with the vast majority of storm-hit service stations in the greater New York area now out of gasoline or without power. 
 
 Outages and fuel shortages have forced many gasoline stations to shut, and now threaten efforts in New York and New Jersey to get back to business after Hurricane Sandy. 
 
 Large numbers of homes and businesses that have lost power are also reliant on gasoline- or diesel-run generators, including many of the Wall Street banks in lower Manhattan. 
 
 "We've had to cancel a lot of cars today because there's not enough gas," said Joue Balulu, a partner at Fone-A-Car in Brooklyn. 
 
 "It's affecting everybody. Our drivers have to go out to try and find gas." 
 
 Much of lower Manhattan remains without power after an explosion at a Consolidated Edison Inc substation on the East River during the storm. Con Edison said on Thursday it could be another two days until electricity is restored. 
 
 Across New York's five boroughs and the northern suburbs of Westchester, Con Edison said 659,400 homes and businesses still had no power. 
 
 "In New York City over 50 percent of service stations are not able to sell gasoline and it could be up to 75 percent," said Ralph Bombardiere, executive director of the New York State Association of Service Stations and Repair Shops. 
 
 "New York City (gasoline delivery) terminals have power problems. For the individual stations, if they have product they don't have power and many, if they have power, don't have any product." 
 
 In Manhattan, police helped to monitor cars at a Hess Corp garage on 10th Avenue and 44th Street to stop people cutting in line. 
 
 Zipcar Inc, a car-sharing company that rents out vehicles at an hourly or daily rate, said members late in returning cars in New York because of traffic or fuel shortages would not face the usual charges. 
 
 "Any members who are willing to wait in line for fuel, we're willing to waive any late fees," said Dan Curtin, Zipcar's vice president of fleet operations in Boston. The firm is offering members in New York and New Jersey discounts until Friday. 
 
 On Wednesday, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he would restrict car traffic coming into Manhattan to vehicles carrying three or more passengers until Friday in an attempt to cut congestion in the city. 
 
 MTA HAS FUEL 
 
 The New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which on Thursday restarted a limited subway service, said it had supplies to keep its buses running. 
 
 "We are not having any issues with fuel at this point," MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said. 
 
 "We are still getting deliveries of fuel to our depots," he added. 
 
 The MTA has its own fuel tanks, but it is unclear whether it will be able to receive new supplies as many terminals and refineries in the region suffered storm damage. 
 
 In New Jersey, power company Public Service Enterprise Group Inc (PSEG) said 780,000 homes and businesses were still without electricity, about 35 percent of its customers, down from 1.7 million impacted at the peak. On Wednesday, gasoline retailer associations said more than 80 percent of service stations in New Jersey were shut. 
 
 At 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) on Thursday on Route 18 in East Brunswick, New Jersey, a Hess facility was the only gas station open for miles. A line of more than 100 cars waited in the highway's southbound left lane, while dozens of residents on foot lined up on the sidewalk, holding plastic gas cans. 
 
 Fuel supplies into New York and New Jersey are being choked off in several ways: two refineries that make up a quarter of the region's gasoline and diesel capacity are idle because of power outages or flooding; the New York Harbor waterway that imports a fifth of the area's fuel is still closed to traffic, and major import terminals are damaged and powerless. 
 
 The main pipeline bringing gasoline and diesel from the U.S. Gulf Coast refining hub, which pumps 15 percent of the East Coast's fuel, also remains shut. 
 
 In Hoboken, a New Jersey town on the Hudson River, gas has become an especially precious commodity since it can be used to power the pumping of sewage water out of basements and homes. 
 
 At one building, a resident went door to door until she found a neighbor willing to siphon gas from his car to fuel the pumps.

 Fifteen people in the Far Rockaway section of Queens and nine in Coney Island were charged with burglary and other offenses in connection with looting at stores. Among them was a 29-year-old woman who faced a weapons charge “after the safe she was carrying from a store was found to contain a firearm,” Mr. Browne said. 
 
 For those who did not have basements that flooded or buildings that slipped off their foundations, there were lines at the gasoline stations that have power to pump fuel for generators and for cars. In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie ’s office warned drivers to be careful because lines were so long that they had stretched onto the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike. One Twitter feed that had been following the hurricane on the Jersey Shore began sending out updates about where to buy gas. 
 
 A wide stretch of Lower Manhattan remained dark, as did the Jersey Shore, waterfront neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, and most of Long Island . 
 
 But the first section of Manhattan that lost power on Monday night, after an explosion and fire at a substation on East 14th Street, had had its lights turned back on, a Consolidated Edison executive said. Doing that restored power to about 2,000 of more than 220,000 customers below 39th Steet in Manhattan. The rest will probably have to wait until Friday or Saturday, said John Miksad, Con Ed’s senior vice president for electric operations. 
 
 Power also returned to the Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn. But repairing all of the downed wires in other boroughs and in Westchester County could take another week, Mr. Miksad said. 
 
 In New Jersey, executives at Public Service Electric and Gas Company said 900,000 customers were still without power, down from a peak of 1.7 million on Tuesday. Some of the company’s main lines, carrying power to substations for local distribution, still needed to be repaired, officials said. But they said electricity was on again in Newark, Elizabeth and parts of Jersey City, and they expected to have all power restored by Nov. 9.

 Another big utility, Jersey Central Power and Light, said nearly 950,000 customers did not have electricity. About half were in Monmouth and Ocean Counties along the shore.

 Connecticut Light and Power reported that more than 318,000 customers were out, including about two-thirds of its customers in Greenwich and New Canaan and 9 out of 10 in Weston. 
 
 Mr. Cuomo said restoring power to Long Island, where the storm knocked out power to 90 percent of the Long Island Power Authority ’s customers, posed particular difficulties. He said 1,800 utility workers from other areas, mostly upstate, were being sent there to provide extra help. 
 
 It was clear that it would be a while before many of the small businesses that were so much a part of the city — visually, with their kaleidoscope of street-level storefronts, and economically — recovered. It was just as clear that it would be days before many restaurants reopened. Some lost large inventories when the power went out and food in their walk-in refrigerators began to spoil.

 Some lost more than food. Before the storm, Andrew Carmellini, the chef at the Dutch in SoHo and Locanda Verde in TriBeCa, rented a car for around-town transportation. He left it on West 23rd Street. “The car got destroyed in the flood,” he said. “The water went over the dashboard.” 
 
 Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said his evacuation orders remained in effect for low-lying communities from Coney Island in Brooklyn to Battery Park City in Manhattan. Mr. Bloomberg said they would not be lifted until the Buildings Department had had time to inspect buildings in those areas. “I know it’s annoying to everyone,” he said at a briefing, “but we don’t need more loss of life.” 
 
 Would the city be back to normal? Perhaps, he said — but not for families who were missing a child, a parent, a brother, a sister. 
 
 “For all we do to recover, it’s fair to say we can’t replace the lives of the people lost in the storm,” he began, speaking in a softer voice than he had used at earlier briefings. “Any loss of life is tragic; sadly, nature is dangerous, and these things occur. The best thing we can do for those who did die is make sure this city recovers for those who come out of this and build a better life for those left behind.”
– A little bit of post-Sandy normalcy is creeping back into New York City and New Jersey, though some areas remain slammed: Free gas: The US military is setting up free fuel-dispensing stations at five spots around New York City, with a 10-gallon limit per person, reports the New York Post—but officials then told the public to stay away until first responders got gas first, the AP reports. With the city's main port reopened, Gov. Cuomo said 8 million gallons had been delivered to New York, and another 28 million gallons were on the way. Meanwhile, gas rationing started today in New Jersey. Power: Most of Manhattan has power again, and 80% of the subways are operating, reports the New York Times. But swaths of Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island remain in the dark. About 1 million homes and businesses are still without electricity in New Jersey, reports NJ.com. Death toll: The US death toll rose to 105, including 41 in New York City, reports AP. Not just here: At the Guardian, Gary Pierre-Pierre reminds all that Sandy slammed the Caribbean, too, though he complains that media coverage was relatively scant. Another storm: It's still in the forecast for the middle of next week for areas still recovering, reports DNA Info. The storm would be no Sandy, but it's expected to bring wind, rain, and maybe snow.
