Residents in Far Rockaway, Queens, have endured their share of hardships caused by Hurricane Sandy, with many still recovering from flooded basements and the loss of electricity.

Help For Hampton's Neighbors

Following years of economic decline, poverty and a growing crime rate, the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens was finally on the mend. The blue-collar oceanfront community and once -popular summer resort had seen something of a revival over the last decade as new residential and commercial development dotted the shoreline. When surfing was legalized there in 2009, Rockaway Beach began attracting cool young twenty-somethings from nearby Williamsburg—the Ramones sang about it, after all—and as these tattooed, pierced and vintage-clad scenesters opened trendy shops and restaurants along the boardwalk, some even began calling it the “Hipster Hamptons.”

That was before Superstorm Sandy.
