Hurricane Sandy destroys Breezy Point, Queens
Hurricane Sandy struck with a vengeance on Oct. 29, 2012, causing unprecedented destruction as 80 mph winds and record storm surges wreaked havoc across the East Coast, flooding tunnels, destroying homes and leaving more than 8 million without power. The superstorm is one of the costliest to ever hit the region, with property damages estimated around $20 billion. Here, an aerial shot shows the burnt remains of Breezy Point, a beachfront neighborhood in Queens completely destroyed by fires during the monster hurricane.
