was killed when a tree fell onto his building in
Flushing, Queens, and a woman was electrocuted after
stepping into a puddle on 105th Avenue in South
Richmond Hill, Queens. Another woman died in a
partial house collapse in the 123rd Precinct on Staten
Island, while a fourth person appears to have drowned
in the 106th Precinct in Queens. Finally, a man was
found dead at 90 Broad Street in Lower Manhattan.
The man was walking outside when he was swept up

The full scale of Sandy's wrath has yet to be
determined. But according to a government
prediction, Sandy's wind damage alone could result in
more than $7 billion in economic loss.
