Superstorm Sandy leaves behind death and devastation Millions of
people in the eastern United States awoke to flooded homes,
fallen trees and widespread power outages caused by the giant
storm Sandy, which swamped New York City's subway system and
submerged streets in Manhattan's financial district. More than 1
million people in a dozen states were under orders to evacuate
as the massive system plowed westward. Subways and bridges were
shut down as winds howled over a huge region encompassing
hundreds of miles. Thousands of flights had to be cancelled, and
hundreds of roads were flooded. Photos of the Day 1 - 3 of 6
