Superstorm Sandy

AP -- Just before its centre reached land, the storm was stripped of hurricane status, but the distinction was purely technical, based on its shape and internal temperature. It still packed hurricane-force wind, and forecasters were careful to say it remained every bit as dangerous to the 50 million people in its path.

Snyder's home along the banks of the Conewago Creek was flooded after Hurricane Sandy blew through the area and flooded the creek. Sierra's grandfather is friends with Snyder and was checking on his house. (AP Photo/York Daily Record, Eileen Joyce)
