Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy

Hurricane Sandy is such an unusual storm, once in a generation event. It was so different and so powerful. Sandy is meant to be a super storm. What make hurricane sandy special and different from other tropical storms was, it travels the north part and turned west while other tropical storms in this year travel east. This storm is monster size. It rises to nearly 6 inches of rain during the past 24 hours.


How Sandy became a snowstorm?






Superstorm Sandy, the hurricane, blew through the Caribbean , killing at least 69 people, most of them in Haiti and Cuba. Sandy then churned up the U.S. East Coast, making landfall on the October 29th in New Jersey and bringing massive floods to Atlantic City, Manhattan, and other coastal areas.




And now Sandy is a snowstorm!!!
