 From NPR news in Washington. I am Lakshmi Singh. The mass transit 1 system in the nations largest city is slowly coming back to life after super storm Sandy overwhelming New York city's infrastructure 2. Governor Antral Quomo says parts of the subway system will begin running again tomorrow, again that is just parts of that system. Two major airports have reopen, but New York LaGuardia is still close because of water on its runways. Given the wide impact of the storm, Governor Quomo says there is an important takeaway for elected officials.

 
Part of learning from this is the recognition that climate change is reality, extreme weathers are reality, it is a reality that we are vulnerable. And if we are going to do our job as elected officials, we are going to need think about how to redesign or as we go forward, make the .. necessary, so we don't reoccur this type of damage.
 
Insurance estimated the damage across the eastern U.S. could be tens of billions of dollars. Sandy has claimed at least 65 lives in multiple state, more than 6 million people are still without power. Now today it is about assessing damage in many areas. We spoke 3 to Wellow Goda, NPR senior type.., she was driving into New York city from her home in Connecticut.
 
We live in the southern most St, Connecticut, right on the water there, so there was a enormous storm surge,the wind was bad, the storm surge ..made it even worse, and we have to work this morning pumping up the basement, we have 6 feet water in the basement, they said that in Deria, which is the next town over, houses that were on the shore were literally 4 knocked off their foundation. So there is a lot of clean up to be done, there is ..pumping up basement, people are trying to take stock what just the storm did. NPR G Ruston.
 
President Obama touring the most severely 5 affected 6 areas of New Jersey 7, where the national guard had been evacuating 8 residents from heavily flooded towns, including H and M. He resumes campaigning tomorrow. With less a week until the election, Mitt 9 Romney resumed his normal campaign schedule today, NPRs R reports Romney has three events across Florida.
 
Romney started out with the acknowledgement of the people suffering in the wake of the storm and a plea for donation.
 
We love all our fellow citizens, we come together in times like this and we want make sure they have a speedy and quick recovery from their financial and in many cases, personal loss.
 
Then he sag 10? his way to his typical stamps, which though he did not go after president Obama as aggressively as usual, that is partly because The President is off the campaign trail today touring storm damaged New Jersy, and it is partly because Romney has began emphasizing bipartisanship and optimism as his part of final pitch to voters. R Pioro, NPR traveling with the Romney campaign.

Chrysler recently announced that it will be starting up production of jeeps in China, to sell in China.
