Hurricane Sandy 2012 has already killed at least 10 people and left 19 workers trapped inside a power station in Manhattan on Monday, according to reports.

Hurricane Sandy knocked out power to at least 3.1 million people, and New York's main utility said large sections of Manhattan were plunged into darkness. 

According to Reuters, 19 workers are still trapped inside a ConEd power station on the east side of Manhattan Monday night by rising floodwaters that accompanied the surge from powerful storm Sandy. At least 10 people have already been reported dead from West Virginia to North Carolina and Connecticut. 

Airlines have canceled more than 12,000 flights, disrupting the plans of travelers all over the world who were making their way to the East Coast.

Storm damage was projected at $10 billion to $20 billion, meaning it could prove to be one of the costliest natural disasters in U.S. history.
