Sandy, the Frankenstorm, lived up to her nickname on Monday as the monster storm slammed into the Jersey Shore and caused massive damage across much of the East Coast.

Deaths related to the killer storm were reported in seven states and in Canada. At least 10 people are dead in New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg reported on Tuesday morning, and he feared the toll will climb as rescue efforts continue.

“This was a devastating storm,” Bloomberg said. “This is maybe the worst we have ever seen.”
