Hurricane Sandy socks New York City with winds, flooding, outages - NYPOST.com: Hurricane Sandy blasted the New York area yesterday, killing at least nine people: three adults in Queens, a teenage girl on Staten Island, two on Long Island, one in Ulster County and three kids in Westchester.
The storm, its winds flirting with 100 mph, unleashed a wave of devastation from which it could take weeks to recover. In flooded lower Manhattan, water gushed into the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel and cars were floating in the streets. There was no dry land anywhere in the Rockaways, where cops in the 100th Precinct station house were trapped on the building’s second floor. As Sandy reached land near Atlantic City, it was downgraded to a tropical storm after its winds weakened slightly.
