"There shelves were really bare in there but they have some food - but certain stuff you just can't buy because everyone has picked over it - but they are really bare in there as far as fruit and meat - the cakes that the kids want - that's all gone,” said Kitoria Washington, 57, who was out shopping with her granddaughter, Chayce, 2, at Western Beef at 62nd and West End Drive.

Charred debris is all that's left from a strip of business and homes on Rockaway. Beach Boulevard between B 116 and B 113 Streets. The rubble was still smoldering this afternoon and firefighters struggled to knock out stubborn flames . Mark Ming, 50, owner of MSM Production Company on Rockaway Beach Blvd near B 113, tried to digest the wreckage: "I watched it burn down. I had 38 years of memories in there. All my platinum albums--they can never be replaced. I had a lot of valuables in there. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I don't even know if insurance covers this damage. Firefighters couldn't get to it because there was five feet of water out here."
