STORYLINE:
Sections of New Jersey were still without power on Friday, almost twelve days after Superstorm Sandy hit the east coast of the United States.
The town of Glen Rock is famed for its trees, but many of them were brought by Sandy's strong winds causing wide spread power outages.
The tiny Bergen County town has been designated a Tree City by the Arbor Day Foundation, but for the past week, many of the beloved boughs have been lying across roads, buildings or cars.
On Friday, Glen Rock resident Alicia Miller was out on the street to watch the power company try to restore electricity after 12 days.
However she said the neighbourhood is relatively lucky, "there were some tragedies locally here so, we're pretty fortunate. We do have heat and hot water and we are pretty thankful for all the workers that have been here."
Her neighbour Bob Kaufmann, says it has been tough: "It was very disorienting in the beginning and then we sort of got used to how to handle it. But by yesterday my wife had sort of had it, it sort of adds up and gets tougher"
At one stage, more than 8.5 million homes and businesses across 21 states lost power during Sandy.
On Friday morning, there were still more than 250-thousand homes and businesses without power in New Jersey, and more than 220-thousand without power in New York.
