We must not forget that before Hurricane Sandy touched down in New York City and New Jersey, Caribbean nations such as Cuba, Haiti and Jamaica took the brunt of the superstorm days before it hit the Tri-State area.
Hurricane Sandy has been blamed for upwards of 69 deaths, if not more, in the Caribbean.
Sandy hit Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Jamaica days before we even knew what was coming.
Even though NYC is rebuilding with the proper resources, those in the Caribbean are putting their lives back together with so much less.
Take a look at some candid photos of the Caribbean being hit by Hurricane Sandy.
