This Monday, Oct. 21, 2013 photo shows reinforced dunes and the buried remains of the former boardwalk along a beach in the Rockaway neighborhood in the borough of Queens, New York. A year after Superstorm Sandy, New York Citys submerged subways and tunnels sprang back to life with surprising speed. Beach boardwalks were rebuilt and mountains of debris were removed. And while some beach towns quickly rebuilt their seaside promenades and beaches, for every success story, there are tales of continuing frustration. (AP Photo/Craig Ruttle)![sandyyearlater5]()

Monte is among about 400 homeowners awaiting state buyouts so they can move on with their lives and rebuild in less vulnerable areas. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)![sandyyearlater10]()
In this Oct. 2, 2013 photo, a tire hangs from a tree in an abandoned section of the Oakwood Beach neighborhood of Staten Island, in New York, where only the foundations of homes remain nearly one year after Superstorm Sandy devastated the area. The forces of nature had been threatening the neighborhood for years, flooding the streets every time it rained and swamping bungalows so regularly that it was just accepted as part of life. But when Superstorm Sandy swept in and killed three residents, the state decided to buy 400 homes, bulldoze them and convert the whole area into green space.
