January 27 Research Hurricane Sandy

THE VIEW OF HURRICANE SANDY FROM A SATELLITE.
 
"The effects of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey in 2012 were severe, with economic losses to businesses of up to $30 billion. Hurricane Sandy, the most intense storm of the2012 Atlantic hurricane season, formed in the Caribbean Sea north of Panama on October 22, 2012. The strengthening hurricane moved northwards, severely impacting areas of the Greater Antilles. As it curved towards the New England region, the hurricane degenerated into an extratropical cyclone and shortly afterwards the massive storm made landfall on New Jersey on October 29.
 
Over two million households in the state lost power in the storm, 346,000 homes were damaged or destroyed, and 37 people were killed. Storm surge and flooding affected a large swath of the state. Governor Chris Christie said the losses caused by Sandy were "going to be almost incalculable...The devastation on the Jersey Shore is probably going to be the worst we've ever seen."
