Gov. Chris Christie says Wednesday's nor'easter caused only a slight setback to Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts and he expects all New Jerseyans to have power back by early Sunday at the latest.

The governor Thursday praised the work of the utilities and utility crews, who have been working 16-hour days.

He said Jersey Central Power & Light's performance in this storm has been "significantly better" than it was during Tropical Storm Irene.

He also cautioned against trying to make villains out of anyone in the disaster.

He says "the villain in this case is Hurricane Sandy."
