Hurricane Sandy: 6 months later
Graffiti

Beach, N.J., on April 25. 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)
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 Superstorm" and
reaching 1,000 miles wide at times, Sandy caused some $50 billion in
damage and killed 159 people. ( 27 photos total)

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
