A large American flag flies in the midst of more than 100 residences burned in the Breezy Point community of the Rockaways adjacent to New York City. A gas leak that occurred during the height of Hurricane Sandy erupted into a firestorm that was difficult for fire fighters to control. Walt Jennings/FEMA
