Bloomberg: Fire destroyed 80 houses in Queens
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg speaks to members of the media at Seward Park High School, which is doubling as an evacuation center.
A fire destroyed 80 houses in Queens during the night, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters during a press conference earlier. He added firefighters managed to rescue near 25 people who were trapped and carry them on a small boat along the flooded streets.
The fire was registered in Breezy Point, a private beach community on the Rockaway barrier island in the New York City borough of Queens.
Bloomberg stated monster storm Sandy killed 10 people in the city and the subway service is unlikely to resume for four to five days.
