Rockaways Devastation after Sandy
I checked out Coney Island the other day (photos here), and today I took a run out to one of my other favorite places in the city: The Rockaways. The devastation was just mind boggling. Riis Park took some heavy damage. Almost every street in Belle Harbor had a couple feet of sand on it, and many homes destroyed. There was a massive fire on Rockaway Beach Boulevard, that has been overshadowed by the tragedy at Breezy Point, several miles away on the same island. Power's not likely to be back any time soon. The boardwalk, for the most part, floated off its pilings and moved inshore. Two sections of boardwalk floated up and crossed each other in the courtyard of one of the apartment complexes.
