When the brunt of Hurricane Sandy finally past the eastern seaboard early Tuesday, US Coast Guard crews were able to begin conducting overflights of the hardest hit areas which include coastal areas of New Jersey, New York City, and Long Island. Here is an amazing collection of aerial photographs from those overflights.

Unbelievable to accept the sight of such damage. Impossible to comprehend!
Speaking of storm damage, and part of La Guardia airport under water, what happened to low-lying Rikers Island and its NYC Dept of Corrections jail there? It just several hundred yards from LGA.
Did these folks buy FEMA Flood Insurance? We have a Retreat in Florida Keys FEMA FLOOD Insurance on $550,000.00 less than $400.00 per Yr. Wind Isurance from State of Florida sponsored insurance company about $6,000.00 . You got to have both. To keep the insurance we have had 3 inspections by insurance companies engineers in 4 years.
The United States should stop all foreign aid and use that money to rebuild this devasatation.
