Hurricane Sandy: 6 months later

Damage left behind by Hurricane Sandy's landfall last October can still be seen along the US East Coast, especially the hard hit beachfront areas in New Jersey, as many communities work to move forward. Dubbed "The Hurricane" and reaching 1,000 miles wide at times, Sandy caused some $50 billion in damage and killed 159 people. ( 27 photos total)

The hurricane affected the entire US eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine and caused more than fifty billion US dollars in damage, an estimate only surpassed by Hurricane Katrina. It is expected to take years before the most heavily affected areas in New Jersey will fully recover. (Michael Reynolds/European Pressphoto Agency) #
