The Atlantic Ocean's high surf pounds the beach in the Rockaways in the Queens borough of New York on Thursday, October 12, 2017, with high-rise apartment buildings along the beach in the background. Nearly five years ago Superstorm Sandy's floodwaters inundated area homes and the apartment buildings. Measures such as rebuilding the beach with high berms, dune grass plantings, and the construction of a new, five and-a-half mile concrete boardwalk have been put into place.
