NEW YORK, April 29 (UPI) -- Six months after Hurricane Sandy and a six-alarm fire struck the Breezy Point section of New York City, the community is still recovering.
The tightly-knit community in the borough of Queens is only beginning to put its town back together, NBC reported, noting the storm last October brought Category 1 winds, flooding and a fire that engulfed 126 homes. Nearly 500 homes were destroyed or are scheduled to be demolished.
