The Statue of Liberty itself received little or no damage. The pedestal and base, including the main floor and exhibits upstairs, are OK. But docks, a brick promenade, railings and other facilities on Liberty Island were damaged.
At Ellis Island, the storm damaged doors, windows and exhibits in the ferry building among other sites.

Predictions
Background
Just as Lady Liberty finally reopened her crown to the public after years of closure for renovation, the Statue of Liberty site has been battered after standing tall through Hurricane Sandy. And now the nor’easter sweeping through the coast threatens her anew.
The Statue of Liberty National Monument took to Facebook to keep its fans updated on the damage the 126-year-old statue sustained from Superstorm Sandy.
"We can now report that the employees of the Statue of Liberty have all been accounted for, and the next step is surveying the damage and attempting to clean up the islands," a message posted on the monument’s Facebook page said Monday.
"Over the next few days, we will share images of the islands, but mostly we’ll be providing updates about the recovery process," the post continued. "For now, both Liberty and Ellis islands will remain closed until further notice, and we cannot speculate as to a potential reopening date."
