Debris from the storm surge and winds created by Hurricane Sandy lie near a damaged house in the heavily affected community of Atlantique on Fire Island, New York, October 30, 2012. Millions of people across the eastern United States awoke on Tuesday to scenes of destruction wrought by monster storm Sandy, which knocked out power to huge swathes of the nation's most densely populated region, swamped New York's subway system and submerged streets in Manhattan's financial district.
