Thursday marked the three-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy.

In Westchester, the storm heavily damaged Playland Park in Rye, leaving it looking more like a battle zone than an amusement park. The storm also demolished the boardwalk and Ice Casino, and left trees and debris everywhere.

There is now a new boardwalk after Westchester County invested millions to repair Playland.

In Rockland, one resident in the hard-hit area of Stony Point says Superstorm Sandy is still always in the back of his mind.

"Can you believe it's been three years already? I mean it feels like it was just the other day," says Franco Bongiardina.

Bongiardina has lived in his Beach Road home for more than 30 years and has never seen anything like Sandy. Despite orders to evacuate, he weathered the storm from his second-floor apartment. He says during the storm, the Hudson River came across the road and waves hit the house with such force that they broke down the front door. The entire first floor was destroyed, and the walls and insulation all needed to be replaced. The deck was also torn off the house

It took months, but he says thanks to insurance, FEMA, and the town, he was able to repair his house. It was a slow painful process, but Bongiardina says he is back on his feet again. "We fall down, we stand up, and we start walking again."

In Piermont, residents say they are still recovering from the devastating storm. Sandy ripped through the area, leaving homes under water, trees down, and debris everywhere. Fire Chief Danny Goswick said that at one point the storm was so bad in Piermont that there was no way into or out of the city.

County Executive Rob Astorino says Westchester is ready if another storm hits.

"We make sure everyone is on the same page. We know what the protocols are. We meet and have conference calls with the utilities and the municipalities to see how we can prepare," he says.
