Excerpt:

Groups tidied up the beach and boardwalk in Coney Island, distributed food and water and helped with the cleaning on Staten Island, and hosted a clothing drive and kids 's carnival in Rockaway. In a church parking lot on New Dorp, Staten Island, Walt Street prepared food for storm sufferers. Street, who had actually driven 30 hours from New Orleans, Louisiana to join in with relief efforts, said the scenes he was seeing on Staten Island reminded him of his home town after Hurricane Katrina. Coney Island's New York Aquarium is filled with marvels from the sea, however throughout Hurricane Sandy the ocean ravaged it. NBC's Mara Schiavocampo reports.
