Gov. Kathy Hochul was in Far Rockaway Friday morning, Oct. 28, to mark the 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy with a walking tour of the rejuvenated downtown area of the neighborhood.

During a presentation at the Far Rockaway Community Church of the Nazarene, Hochul praised the heroes along the Rockaway Peninsula after more than a thousand homes and small businesses were destroyed by the 10-foot flood surge as Sandy came ashore on Oct. 29, 2012.
