When Superstorm Sandy slammed into the eastern seaboard of the United States in late October, it left behind a devastating path of destruction.  Millions were left without power, more than 100 people lost their lives, shorelines and the homes along them were destroyed, wind damaged homes and toppled trees, and the usually bustling streets of New York City’s Financial District were flooded, washing away cars and not to mention closing the New York Stock Exchange for the first time due to weather since the late 1800s.
