Caption

Piles of debris, damaged homes and flooded streets remain in the wake of the storm.

Nov. 3, 2012 New Jersey state troopers keep order as motorists line up to purchase gasoline at the Thomas A. Edison service area on the New Jersey Turnpike near Woodbridge, N.J. Lines were long at some gas stations with motorists trying to make purchases before a noon switch to a gas-rationing system ordered by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R). Drivers with license plates ending in an even number will be allowed to buy gas on even-numbered days, and those with plates ending in an odd number can make gas purchases on odd-numbered days.
