Sandy’s destruction was fierce in the Rockaways, washing huge amounts of sand and water into the homes and neighborhoods surrounding the beach. The storm upended cars and the sand blanketed living-room floors, and emergency crews had trouble reaching the far-flung section of Queens. Marines and other servicemembers have since come in to help with rescues and repairs.
