epa03452405 A general view of dozens of destroyed homes and vehicles after a fire caused by Hurricane Sandy, in Breezy Point, Queens, New York City, New York, USA, 30 October 2012. Floods, fires and high winds caused by one of the biggest storms to ever hit the United States continued to batter the north-east on 30 October, killing at least 16 people and leaving 6.5 million without electricity. Sandy, which was downgraded from a hurricane to post-tropical cyclone late 29 October, is blamed for deaths in New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Canada. Many were caused by falling trees, with electrocution and flying debris also responsible. EPA/RAMIN TALAIE
