The Jones Beach Theater, one of the most famous music venues in the New York metropolitan area, is yet another victim of the Hurricane Sandy flooding.

In aerial pictures posted by Newsday and a Bloomberg employee, the theater's orchestra section and much of the surrounding area can be seen submerged thanks to the extremely high Atlantic Ocean levels. The extent of the damage to the Wantagh theater, which recently hosted shows by Florence and the Machine and Kiss, has not been revealed yet.

Thankfully, there are no concerts scheduled there until late June 2013, when boy band One Direction are slated to perform. Here's hoping the theater makes it through OK.
