The cleanup began Tuesday morning in the aftermath of Sandy, which brought flooding to the state's southern coast and knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts customers. Utility crews were busy trying to keep up as the state recovered from one of the biggest storms to ever hit the East Coast.

Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray joined WBUR's Morning Edition to discuss the recovery efforts.

This program aired on October 30, 2012.
