OAK ORCHARD, Del. - Hurricane Sandy left her mark and communities like Oak Orchard are still cleaning up.

Governor Jack Markell spent part of his afternoon meeting with residents and assessing the damages with the Red Cross.  But even with Election Day quickly approaching, the Governor said campaigning comes second to those affected by the storm.

"This is much more important than any election can possibly be," said Gov. Markell.  "There's no question when people are struggling, I mean that's why any of us run for office in the first place to serve.  I think again in Delaware, we were actually pretty fortunate. We were very fortunate than some surrounding states."
