Excerpt:

Visitors will miss out for a while on one of the hallmarks of a visit to New York-- seeing the Statue of Liberty up close. The statue itself endured Superstorm Sandy intact, however damage to structures and Liberty Island's power and furnace suggests the island will remain closed in the meantime, and authorities don't have an estimate on when it will begin over. The brick paths around the 12-acre island are destroyed, and some docks are splintered. The metal railing that surrounds the island is broken in some places. The waterline on a few of the structures reaches 8 feet. The storm flooded the island's power and furnace, Superintendent David Luchsinger stated as he led press reporters on a tour Friday.
