Long Beach, NY photos after Hurricane Sandy

the beach will never be the same after hurricane Sandy - so much sand is gone - the ocean was so angry
I have spent the last 2 days going to take photos and talk to people in Long Beach, NY.  There is a community down there like no other.
I talked to so many people about what they had been through.  there were 4 ft of sand in the streets at one point from what I was told.
