We visit Fire Island for a look a the scientific side effects of Superstorm Sandy,
When Superstorm Sandy swept across much of the eastern seaboard it left massive damage. On Fire Island, New York, the storm left behind a breach or a land gap that threatened local communities. The National Park Service was left with a decision, close the gap or wait and see what happens. Five years later, we visit the island to see how nature took its course.
