Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast of the United States with more force than any storm in recorded history. Millions were left without power and at least 16 people were killed. Here is a selection of photos moved by The Associated Press overnight.

In some parts of West Virginia the collision of multiple storm systems could produce up to 3 feet of snow.

Sandy made landfall Monday night, hurling a surge of seawater on New York City with wind and rain that sent water sloshing into Manhattan from three sides but began dying down within hours.

The Coast Guard rescued 14 of the 16 crew members by helicopter. Hours later, rescuers found one of the missing crew members, but she was unresponsive. They are still searching for the captain.
