Pics: Superstorm Sandy hits the US
The superstorm hit the US east coast yesterday, leaving much damage in its wake.

SUPERSTORM SANDY HIT the US East Coast yesterday, battering New York and slamming into the New Jersey coastline, causing major damage and flooding in the process.

Photos captured by people living in areas that Sandy hit, as well as official photographers who braved the conditions to document them for news outlets, show the full extent of the damage caused by the storm, which had been downgraded from hurricane status.

Today, schools, businesses and even the New York Stock Exchange remain closed as Sandy continues to pass over parts of the country. Hurricane Sandy hit the Caribbean last week, leaving 38 people dead in its wake.
