East Coast Begins To Clean Up And Assess Damage From Hurricane Sandy

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - OCTOBER 30: Resident Kim Johnson inspects the area around her apartment building which flooded and destroyed large sections of an old boardwalk, on October 30, 2012 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Johnson fled the area when the water began to rise yesterday. The storm has claimed at least 33 lives in the United States, and has caused massive flooding across much of the Atlantic seaboard. US President Barack Obama has declared the situation a 'major disaster' for large areas of the US East Coast including New York City. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
