Recovery efforts from Superstorm sandy are taking time, and many people are growing frustrated with the pace.
On Saturday morning, President Obama worked with federal, state and local officials to find a way to get help to those who need it most.
Michael Moore spent hours at his Staten Island home trying to push out the mud Hurricane Sandy brought in.
"The neighborhood has been completely devastated," Moore said. "It's like a bomb went off."
He and his family evacuated just as a surge of water rushed into their house.
"It's absolutely terrifying you think you're going to die, and you just want to save your family," Moore said.
More than half the people killed in New York City died in Staten Island. Many say they feel abandoned.
"We are the forgotten island," said Dana Cannastraci of State Island. "Nobody remembers us."
President Obama says crews are working around the clock to help storm victims.
The New York City Marathon was scheduled to start on Staten Island Sunday, but Friday night, organizers cancelled the race.
Meanwhile the hunt for gas continues. To shorten the long lines at the pumps, Governor Chris Christie announced a new rationing system in parts of new jersey. Drivers can now only fuel up every other day.
The federal government is stepping in to help with fuel shortages.
President Obama authorized the purchase of 12 million gallons of fuel to distribute through New York and New Jersey.
