New York and New Jersey residents wake up to flooded streets and devastated property on the day after Hurricane Sandy; one of the top five worst storms in US history in terms of damage costs. In the city, subways remain closed and emergency crews work to close off dangerous streets. Close to Atlantic City, casinos and boardwalks have been completely destroyed, and people kayak down residential streets. Hurricane Sandy is an example of the extreme weather we can expect to see with continued climate change - storms will continue to become more frequent and more severe.
