Residents will never forget Sandy and what she did to their island.
"We gutted the whole village so you could pretty much see straight through. It was quite a struggle. There was a lot of workers and debris," Maschal said.
Seon Bowker's family runs South Beach Deli at the southern end of LBI in Holgate, which was devastated by Sandy. "Definitely the first two to four years after the storm was a little slow as everyone took time to rebuild. But ever since, especially since COVID, the island's actually been booming," he said.
"I mean, they're building and building and building and people are taking their old houses down even now. It's 10 years later and they're building new, big houses," said Sharon Flannery of Holgate. Most of the old bungalows are gone now, replaced with big modern houses built high off the ground. But some people say they miss the way it used to be before Sandy.
