The boardwalk was re-built stronger than the one that Sandy splintered and rises slowly from the ashes of the horrific fire. After Governor Chris Christie visited the site of the destruction, he said, \"We'll rebuild it.\" However, for those who recall the way things were, it won't be the same, as many of the iconic structures that made it what it was are now gone and washed into the ocean. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith characteristic resilience and strength, Seaside Heights did rebuild, and came back stronger. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Confronting a storm is like fighting God.
