Two Year Anniversary Of Hurricane Sandy In New York

NEW YORK, NY - OCTOBER 29: An American flag, shovel and pile of bricks sits in an empty lot two years after Superstorm Sandy destroyed the house that sat on this lot on October 29, 2014 in the Graham Beach neighborhood of the Staten Island Borough of New York City. Huricane Sandy was recorded as the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. It caused over $68 billion in damages, and hundreds of people were killed along the path of the storm in seven countries. Today marks the two-year anniversary of its storm surge hitting New York City and the surrounding area which flooded streets, tunnels and subway lines and cut power in and around the city.
