Three multi-million dollar mansions in Greenwich, CT burned to the ground Monday night as Superstorm Sandy rolled through, NBCNewYork reports.
Video released by the fire department shows the waterfront homes engulfed in flames. Firefighters tried to put out the flames that night but storm surge was too high and they had to return later.
Sandy devastated large swaths of Southern Connecticut, cutting power to more than than half-a-million homes in the state.
More than 70 percent of ultra-rich Greenwich — home to famous hedge-fund managers like Paul Tudor Jones and Steven A. Cohen — was without power on Wednesday.
Fortunately, no one was hurt in the fires.
