Throwback 2012 #3 Superstorm Sandy

Obviously one of the big weather woes of 2012 was Superstorm Sandy, October 29th- 31st. This stormed had everything go right in terms of it becoming a monster superstorm. It started off as a low pressure system in the Caribbean. Sandy then moved on a Northerly path across Jamaica and Cuba. It then continued north. As Sandy continued it became influenced by a strong Low-pressure system and a deepening trough as it took its turn for New Jersey.

This storm has so many talking points I could go on for days about it, however, I'm sure the destruction is still very fresh in everyone's mind. Superstorm Sandy was unique unto itself. It brought hurricane force winds and storm surge to the Northeast and a blizzard like conditions to the mountains of West Virgina. This is one storm that we'll be talking about for years to come.
