CNN PRODUCER NOTE     JOHNGRAZIANO has vowed to document the damage from Superstorm Sandy in Manhattan every day. He put together a narrated video of the scene in the empty financial district on Monday. 'It's a ghost town down there, all the restaurants, the banks, the law firms. All those people, I don't know where they are. Everywhere you go, it's haz-mat crews and people examining the foundations of buildings,' he said.

JOHNGRAZIANO also started volunteering in Staten Island. On Monday, he came across Sen. Chuck Schumer and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano giving a press conference at the terminal. 'The Staten Island terminal itself is shut down. The escalators are not running. They have them opened up -- the engines are under water. When you walk into the terminal you don't know what's going on,' he said.

He lives in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan, where he has power, but the A train is still down. He plans on shooting more videos like this one as the story develops.
