Faces of Sandy: 50 LIers share their stories

Long Islanders share their stories about superstorm Sandy and relics they have saved from the storm.

The storm destroyed or damaged more than 95,000 structures on Long Island. More than 1 million customers lost power -- some for more than two weeks. But LIers showed their resilience.
Here are the stories of 50 Long Islanders.
