The six month anniversary of Hurricane Sandy takes place 29 April 2013. On 29 October 2012, the superstorm moved ashore and caused severe devastation, especially in New Jersey and New York. The hurricane affected the entire US eastern seaboard from Florida to Maine and caused more than seventy billion US dollars in damage, an estimate only surpassed by Hurricane Katrina. It is expected to take years before the most heavily affected areas in New Jersey will fully recover. EPA/MICHAEL REYNOLDS
