Superstorm Sandy harmed or destroyed 346,000 homes in New Jersey. Governor Chris Christie projects it will cost $36.9 billion to repair and prevent future damage.

But how is that reconstruction going?

Brian Donohue is a reporter with the New Jersey Star-Ledger, and has been covering the recovery.

"When the summer started, I expected things to be a little bit more normal than they were. The reality is that when you walk up and down these streets now, many of the houses are empty."
