Hurricane Sandy: Seaside Heights
Sandy was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season, as well as the second-costliest hurricane in United States history. Classified as the eighteenth named storm, tenth hurricane and second major hurricane of the year, Sandy was a Category 3 storm at its peak intensity when it made landfall in Cuba. While it was a Category 2 storm off the coast of the Northeastern United States, the storm became the largest Atlantic hurricane on record. Estimates as of June 2013 assess damage to have been over $68 billion, a total surpassed only by Hurricane Katrina. At least 285 people were killed along the path of the storm in seven countries. The severe and widespread damage the storm caused in the United States, as well as its unusual merge with a frontal system, resulted in the nicknaming of the hurricane by the media and several organizations of the U.S. government "Superstorm Sandy" or was called "Frankenstorm Sandy"
In the United States, Hurricane Sandy affected 24 states, including the entire eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine and west across the Appalachian Mountains to Michigan and Wisconsin, with particularly severe damage in New Jersey and New York.
Just a picture of some of the destruction
Looks like something went through or the water just pushed into the building
Wires hang
The boardwalk used to stretch out to here and it's no longer there
Restoring underway
Gone
Wires still hang from buildings and shops
The pier is gone
No more "Fun Town"
A ride being held up by a couple of posts still left. No boardwalk connecting to it
Rides Lost
