The storm knocked out power to about 2 million customers.
In New Rochelle, New York, homeowner Com Crocker said there were downed power lines in his yard and a massive tree had fallen on the front of his car.
"It's been a rough several days for my family and me," Crocker told ABC News Tuesday.
While his family stays at a hotel, a generator is keeping a pump going in his basement where there was flooding.
Crocker said he is "pretty concerned" about this new storm. But he is grateful that the massive fallen tree on his car did miss his house.
