Seven million plunged into darkness as Hurricane Sandy hits America

The death toll from Hurricane Sandy rose to 12 in America and one in Canada as seven million homes were plunged into darkness and swathes of the US east coast were swamped by unprecedented floods.

Sandy made landfall in New Jersey at 8pm local time (midnight GMT), leaving Atlantic City underwater, and hurling a record-breaking 13-foot wall of seawater at New York City.

Water sloshed into Manhattan from three sides, surging between skyscrapers in the financial district and pouring in to road and subway tunnels.

A spectacular explosion occurred at a power sub-station in Manhattan and 250,000 people there were plunged into darkness.

New York University hospital lost backup power and had to be evacuated, and a
huge partially collapsed crane continued to dangle precariously from a Manhattan
skyscraper.

Several buildings in Queens went on fire and firefighters used boats to rescue people.

On coastal Long Island neighbourhoods were under water, and police car was lost rescuing 14 people from the popular resort Fire Island.
