Hurricane Sandy tore through the East Coast last week killing more than 110 people in the process.

In New York City alone, the death toll had climbed to 40 by Thursday.

Whitney Hess, a blogger who heads up Vicarious Partners, combed through the trove of media reports about all those killed by Hurricane Sandy and posted the names and small bios of every victim.

Here are some of the people killed in the U.S. by Hurricane Sandy, courtesy of Hess' blog Pleasure & Pain:

  • Angela Dresch, 13, and her father George Dresch, 55, died after they refused to evacuate their Staten Island home

  • Connor Moore, 4, and Brandon Moore, 2, died when a surge swept them out of their mother's arms in Staten Island.

  • Hugh Senpo, 87, was found lying facedown underwater in his Brooklyn home's living room.

  • An unidentified 91-year-old woman was found unconscious and unresponsive in Brooklyn.

  • Jack Baumler, 11, and Michael Robson, 13, were killed instantly when a 100-foot oak tree fell into Baumler's living room in North Salem, NY.

This is just a small number of all those killed by the storm. For the full list and stories of each victim, head over to Hess' blog.
