It was the most damaging storm in Long Island history. Thirty-foot waves offshore. 90% of the Island lost power. Historic flooding and beach erosion. All MTA bridges and tunnels were closed, all parkways closed, the LIRR suspended, airports closed for days and there were 13 deaths on Long Island. Credit: Kendall Rodriguez
