New York, October 31 (RHC)-- Commemorations are being held along the U.S. East Coast to mark the one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, which flooded wide areas and left 159 people dead.
 
Hundreds of people lined up along the New Jersey coastline holding flashlights to light up the sky.  On Staten Island, people gathered at a beachside park to mark the time the storm made landfall.
 
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the city is being re-built to better handle future storms.  He said that if another storm like Sandy ever approaches our shores, "it will find a far different city from the one that Sandy left behind."  
 
Area residents noted that thousands of people remain homeless from Sandy one year after the storm.
