Many on New York 's Rockaway Peninsula are still without power and running water . LIPA has dispatched some 250 utility workers to the Rockaways , working 16-hour shifts in a round-the-clock operation to get power restored . One man is sleeping in his running car to stay warm and ward off looters . The storm has already claimed at least two lives, with a woman who drowned when she was swept away by the rising tide while trying to rescue her husband from their flooded home.
