CNN) -- States along the East Coast were pummeled as Superstorm Sandy came crashing ashore.
The storm officially made landfall along the coast of southern New Jersey, but it is affecting a much wider area.
By early Tuesday, more than 7.5 million customers were without power in 15 U.S. states and Washington, D.C., according to the latest CNN estimate.
At least 21 people have died in the United States.
President Barack Obama has signed disaster declarations for New York and New Jersey. He has signed emergency declarations for other states and the nation's capital.
Nearly 11,000 people spent Monday night in scores of Red Cross-operated shelters in the hard-hit mid-Atlantic region.

Here's a look at how Sandy has affected U.S. states and Canada.
Sandy's trail of devastation -- and it's not over
CONNECTICUT
-- The death toll has risen to two, according to state police spokesman Lt J. Paul Vance. Two people were killed by falling trees, including a firefighter in Easton.
-- Utilities said 627,870 customers were without power.
DELAWARE
-- Power went down for 69,345 customers in Delaware, authorities said. Delmarva Power reported it cannot assess the time it will take to restore power because of the intensity of the storm.
-- Delaware Gov. Jack Markell scaled back driving restrictions Tuesday morning.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
-- Washington officials said 22,121 customers were without power.
-- Washington's Metro will restore bus and rail service on most lines using a Sunday schedule beginning at 2 p.m. ET Tuesday. Normal service is expected to resume for Wednesday morning's commute.

-- A count from utilities said 323,366 customers were without power.
-- The Bay State's emergency agency warned residents of continuing dangerous winds into Tuesday, which could cause power outages, and reminded them that coastal flooding was expected overnight.
-- Hoping to avoid the kind of criticism utilities received after last year's Hurricane Irene and other storms, Gov. Deval Patrick said utilities plan to pair tree removal and power restoration crews, rather than having them work separately, so that work can be done more efficiently.
NEW HAMPSHIRE
-- New Hampshire's power suppliers reported there were 236,831 customers without electricity.
-- Gov. John Lynch urged drivers to stay off the state's roads.

-- A dam or levee broke early Tuesday in the town of Moonachie in Bergen County, said Jeanne Baratta, county executive chief of staff. Rescues are under way in Moonachie, Little Ferry and Carlstadt, where 4 to 5 feet of water has flooded streets. Thousands of people may be in need of rescue, she said. People are standing on their roofs.
-- Sandy has left 2,336,752 customers without electricity, the most power outrages of any state.

-- New York University Langone Medical Center went dark late Monday. More than 200 patients were being evacuated after backup power failed, said Lisa Greiner, a spokeswoman for NYU Langone.
