Hurricane Sandy "storm porn" - a disaster in photos

Millions of people have been left without power after Hurricane Sandy, one of the worst storms in recent memory, hit the east coast of the USA.

New York City has been left paralysed, with roads closed, flights cancelled and the Subway left partially flooded.

Social networking has played a huge part in the sharing of information around the storm, with an "official" Facebook page claiming more than 150,000 "likes".
