Loading...Top 6 Images Of Hurricane Sandy’s Destruction
Hurricane Sandy hit the Eastern seaboard of the United States with a vengeance yesterday. A 900 mile stretch of mid-Atlantic states took the brunt of the beating, with huge portions of New York City and Atlantic City under water. Experts say repairing the damage could already cost billions, and with Sandy set to continue as a non-tropical storm throughout New England, the price could climb higher still.
Do you live in Hurricane Sandy’s path? Share your survival story here.
In case you’ve ever doubted that climate change is really happening, and that it is changing Earth’s weather patterns to favor bigger and more dangerous storms, we’ve rounded up six bone-shaking images of Hurricane Sandy’s destruction from the past 48 hours. Climate change won’t wait while we debate about semantics or complain that it’s not fair for big polluters to have to clean up their act. It’s here. It’s happening now. And we’re already losing the battle.

Dont get shark pic?...
God is tired of HIS people NOT listening to His warnings about "don't mess with Mother Nature",Love Your Fellow Man/Woman, and "Live by My teachings".
And we, as arrogant humans, who think we know best,--just keep right on ignoring His word.
Will we EVER learn???? I can only pray for my self, my family and my fellow man , that we wake up before it's too late.
May God have mercy on us all.
Yes, take out the shark photo, it isn't true.
Please take #4 down, that has been proven a fake. I mean really, every time we have one of these really bad storms we get these ridiculous shark photos!
The shark swimming there seems so out of place...
Heartbreaking pictures...as a French woman, I am so sorry for you, American people in distress.
Wow... amazing images
