6 Months After Sandy, Thousands Homeless In NY, NJ

MANTOLOKING, N.J. (AP) -- The 9-year-old girl who got New Jersey's tough-guy governor to shed a tear as he comforted her after her home was destroyed is bummed because she now lives far from her best friend and has nowhere to hang her One Direction posters.

A New Jersey woman whose home was overtaken by mold still cries when she drives through the area. A New York City man whose home burned can't wait to build a new one.

Six months after Superstorm Sandy devastated the Jersey shore and New York City and pounded coastal areas of New England, the region is dealing with a slow and frustrating, yet often hopeful, recovery. Tens of thousands of people remain homeless. Housing, business, tourism and coastal protection all remain major issues with the summer vacation -- and hurricane -- seasons almost here again.

  1. Where's the outrage and complaints against the Obama administration? Bush took the blame after Katrina for the slow or lack of response by FEMA, but there is no finger pointing because of the obvious differences in the people affected.

  6. In this area like Rockaway, NJ most families are one paycheck away from hitting bottom. Poor people dont recover, they just go on hanging on to become the poorest of the poor.
