JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): The losses in life and property kept growing today in the wake of Sandy. The U.S. death toll reached 92 and the focus on physical damage shifted to New Jersey, where the monster storm blasted barrier islands and other waterside cities.
The massive force of the storm's destruction along the Jersey Shore came fully into view today. Town after town presented stark scenes of wrecked homes and boats, underscoring the long process of rebuilding that lies ahead.
One of those towns was the Long Beach community north of Atlantic City, where Army National Guard troops arrived to assist.
