– In addition to the physical damage caused by what was
Hurricane Sandy, the economic impact of the storm will also
likely be felt for months to come, experts warned.  “Each day,
the city generates upwards of $2 billion in economic activity.
Some of that will be recovered later on but a portion of that is
lost permanently, about $100,000 million to $200,000 million a
day and that will result in probably $3 million to $5 million a
day in lost tax revenues for the city,” New York City
Comptroller John Liu told WCBS 880.  Across the entire East
Coast, tens of thousands of businesses could be without power
for the remainder of the week, possibly longer.  SUPERSTORM
