Shortly before the gas ran out, customers wait in line at a Hess station where the line of cars snaked 10 blocks, and at least 60 people waited to fill red gas cans for their generators, in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn, New York, Oct 2, 2012. (David Caruso/AP Photo) Now that the clouds have cleared and the lights have come back on for many New Yorkers, New York and New Jersey wait patiently for fuel as the region takes steps to move forward in wake of Superstorm Sandy. This morning, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told New Yorkers that "help is on the way." About 8 million gallons of fuel have been delivered and another 28 million en route. "Do not panic. I know there is anxiety about fuel... The situation has been remedied. Gas stations will be getting fuel," Cuomo said.

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
