Hurricane Sandy - Then and now

Yahoo News photographer Gordon Donovan returned this week to his hometown of Graham Beach in Staten Island, which was devastated by Superstorm Sandy a year ago on Oct. 29, 2012. In these before and after images, you can see that surprisingly little has changed in Graham Beach as well as the storm-battered neighborhoods of Long Beach and Breezy Point over the course of a year.

Many residents still need assistance and are struggling to return to their homes after the second-most costly storm in U.S. History made landfall in New Jersey last October after hammering Jamaica, Cuba and the Bahamas. All told, 286 died in the storm. (Yahoo News)
