Nowhere else was the impact of Hurricane Sandy more devastating than on Staten Island—23 people killed; more than 500 homes destroyed or left uninhabitable; half the borough without electricity for at least a week; dozens of businesses disabled or closed for good.

This book documents the hurricane through hundreds of photos and a narrated timeline of the devastation. Despite the warnings, no one could have imagined the extent of the damage Sandy would inflict. This book was made to preserve the history of this devastation, and is dedicated to those who survived—and who have recovered.
