Three months ago, Storm Sandy swept through the Caribbean and up the east coast of the USA, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
It is believed that over 100 people were killed in the US alone, as buildings were reduced to rubble leaving thousands of people without a home.
Jon Sopel reports from Ortley Beach, New Jersey, and takes a tour of the devastation left behind.
Two months ago the BBC visited Ortley Beach as the resort began the long road to recovery. You can explore the town in our special interactive feature.
