The Google Crisis Map: Superstorm Sandy is where you can see this and more images. Click the Post-Sandy Imagery box on the right navigation column, and it will give you a number of areas where you can zoom into. This is the Sea Gate to Fire Island, NY option. Click it on-and-off to do your own comparison. This area also encompasses the communities of Broad Channel, Belle Harbor, and the rest of the Rockaway peninsula.
