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 storm in Mantoloking, N.J. The October 29, 2012, storm moved ashore
and caused severe devastation, especially in New Jersey and New York.
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) #

April 26. A section of the boardwalk is expected to open to the public
on May 1 and authorities hope the entire thing will be completed in time
for the opening of the summer vacation season at the end of May. The
new boardwalk will stretch one mile and require three thousand wooden
piles to be driven into the sand. (Michael Reynolds/European Pressphoto
