50 Powerful Hurricane Sandy Photos
Hurricane Sandy destroyed and took lives as it pummeled through the East Coast last week. Leaving hundreds of thousands powerless and homeless, Sandy was one of the worst storms to ever hit the NJ/NYC area. Tourist attractions that once stood tall, like Seaside Heights' rides and Coney Island are now distant and somewhat painful memories. Families that were evacuated don't have a home to go back to and others are left in the dark as many companies, organizations, and volunteers work around the clock to try and restore as much as they can, with what is left from Sandy.
