Who Was Hurt Most By Sandy?
- Max T., Sheepshead Bites
Manhattan Beach
The eastern end of the Coney Island peninsula has received slightly more small business loans than Canarsie, but far fewer FEMA grants. “It was the hardest hit within our coverage area, with eight foot tall waves crashing through the neighborhood,” Sheepshead Bites reported. “Several community landmarks [were] heavily damaged, not least of which is the esplanade. Sure, the esplanade has taken damage in previous storms. But though dangerous and unusable, it was still there. No longer.” [photo]
