A man watches as the tidal surgre begins to cover the beach in Ocean City, MD, October 29, 2012 as Hurricane Sandy nears landfall in the area. Storm-driven waves crashed ashore and flooded seafront communities across a swathe of the eastern United States October 29, 2012 as Hurricane Sandy barreled towards land. Officials warned that the threat to life and property was "unprecedented" and ordered hundreds of thousands of residents in cities and towns from New England to North Carolina to evacuate their homes and seek shelter.
