this is a live look at hoboken, new york. at least 17 states -- sorry, hoboken, new jersey. at least 17 states are seeing the effects of the storm now. this morning, jfk and newark airports are now both reopened but not all flights will be restored. new york's la guardia airport remains closed at this hour. it could take days before travel finally gets back to normal. we're back, tracking the effects of this storm in the newsroom. >> you mentioned a couple airports back in business. jfk and -- the first passenger flight to jfk has arrived. sfo is a different story because a few dozen east coast bound flights are already canceled today so check with your carrier before you head to one of our local airports. we're going to take a look at a

developing story we're following in new jersey. multiple fires are threatening more homes in the peninsula town of bricktown which was hit hard by sandy. at least 14 homes there already destroyed by flames. fire crews are trying to get to the scene, but they can't because so many roads are still impassable. in new york, so many people are still in the dark. look at this photo. snapped from someone across the hudson river. the usual sparking sight is only half lit, this is because some 200,000 lower manhattan customers are still without electricity. given the magnitude of the outages, it is expected to take crews days to restore. city buses are back running today. the subways are not. as our scott mcgrew is telling you, the stock market will reopen in just a few minutes after being closed for a couple of days. mayor bloomberg is expected to ring that opening bell at 6:30.

folks getting into the city. and now the metering lights are on to keep that flow smooth across the span. we'll look at the maps on the approach. the flow still looks nice. it shows you speed, into the 40s. a little slowing now coming to berkeley. we also have your issues. 24, the accidents, both directions have both cleared. there's still some residual slowing. your commute direction will probably stick around for the morning. east 580, away from the maze. an accident now reported. circle park boulevard. it looks like it's not quite as you get there. sounds like the car's on its side. chp's heading out there. that's opposite your commute for 580 in oakland. in your commute direction, wecht through 580, livermore, another accident at north livermore avenue, slowing out of the atlamont, into the trivalley, into the dublin interchange. we'll check the south bay coming

facebook employees have their first opportunity this morning to make some money. officially the lock you on their shares ended on monday. but the markets were closed. its newest game, medal of honor war fighter, not selling as well. the business is a lot like hollywood, an expensive flop can haunt a whole quarter. considering it's halloween, i know you were showing this off earlier. yahoo! ceo marissa mayer showing off her new son at the yahoo! halloween party. the yaboo, halloween party for kids. mcallister born september 30th. i believe he was a carrot or a pepper. >> i think he was a pepper. >> a little hot tamale. handsome little guy. >> and she's glowing as well. thank you very much. the giants getting set to have a big party, that world

quite as cold as it was yesterday morning. that's because of the cloud cover serving as a blanket trapping heat from yesterday. overall, not too bad it it. it's mild out here. some people even in short sleeves this morning. as we get to the afternoon, temperatures are comfortable. we do have trick or treat showers on the way. we'll take you through the forecast as we get throughout the second half of your day. if you live in the north bay, plan on getting your trick or treating done early. the sun sets at 6:15 this time of year. a lot of the kids will be out and about. think you are going to see some showers but the south bay looks nice and dry. the moral of the story get your trick or treating on early. highs today in the upper 60s

inland. your seven-day outlook look, so good. temperatures are going to be very comfortable. we got a good looking weekend ahead. yeah, steady climb in temperatures back to the mid-80s as we get into next week. we have slick conditions not because they're watching the roads, they'll have a steady drizzle. mike, another big giants fan. >> we're looking to the south bay. i've got both my controller and my phone in my hand. we're talking, got a tweet message. he says cal train already not good and the san jose lots are full. suffice it to say, parking is an

issue at mass transit. as you take it from the south bay, up into san francisco, that will be a problem. we'll look at the peninsula with lighter volume of traffic northbound through palo alto and in through san mateo. again, that cal train system and bart, those are options getting into the city. so keep those in mind. another live look inside. show you how things are shaping up through the north bay. you see the glow and a little sheen on the roadways. fog, maybe drizzle on the north bay as well. the ferries are a great option. take you down into the city. add an extra service for that system as well. then over on the east bay, we're be looking at the maze. as you approach towards the bay bridge, west 80, coming around the bend. there's the toll plaza. off 580, off 880, all travel moving smoothly. again if you're coming through the bart system, a great option, they can add trains for all these systems but they cannot add parking. get there early because of parking. >> already filling up. >> great advice, thank you very

much. another vicious attack off the california coast. a dramatic rescue. a shark sinks its teeth right into a surfer's board and the surfer. we'll have that just ahead. good morning! wow.

1980s. that was for one day. probably nothing real instructive for us there so what to know. we see the futures call for a higher opening. about 3 1/2 billion shares are traded every day on a normal day. i have no doubt we'll see far more than that. we're waiting for the numbers to come across. >> focus remains on that storm with less than a week before the presidential election. tracie potts is live with a look. >> reporter: governor romney back on the trail today. yesterday he was in ohio collecting donations for the storm victims. he was asking people to leave donations at his campaign offices. now he is back to talking about why he wants to win this election on tuesday. in tampa this morning and in
