Today, November First, 2012, subways from 37th Street through Battery Park are still not running.
New York City public schools will be closed Monday, October 29 due to Hurricane Sandy. It is likely they will close Tuesday as well because of the storm.
Battery Park (the south end of Manhatten) took a 13.88-foot high tidal surge, resulting in massive flooding.
The electricity and the water supply will be cut off.
It is impossible to predict when the next hurricane will strike anywhere unless that hurricane is imminent.
The City opened 76 shelters for evacuees, but homeless people were also welcome there, in addition to the usual shelter system the City has in place for homeless persons. The NYPD has special personnel that seek out homeless people and encourage them to come to shelters during dangerous weather conditions.

It's really too early to get an accurate dollar amount, because insurance estimators willl be swamped with claims for awhile. Broad estimates, listed by country, are available at the related link listed below:
The human death tolll is still rising. Over 4 million homes were without electricity (many still are), and over 100 homes burned to the ground in NYC. At one point, the storm was over 1,000 miles wide (east-to-west) and 900 miles from north-to-south. I covered a swath frim Chicago through Maine. It is a conservative estimate to point out that over 10 million people were affected by Hurricane Sandy; from Jamaica to eastern Canada.
Fairfield, CT was most recently hit by the Western edge of Hurricane Bob in August 1991. It was hit almost directly by Hurricane Gloria in September 1985. Even though I live in San Diego, I was in New England during both of these. I was in Worcester, MA when Gloria hit, and I was driving through Connecticut towards NYC when Bob hit. It was crazy driving in a hurricane, but I had to catch a plane to Japan.
