Hurricane Sandy formed in a similar manner to most hurricanes. It started out as a cluster of thunderstorms, called a tropical disturbance, over warm ocean water, in this case the Caribbean Sea. The disturbance was fueled by moisture that evaporated off the ocean surface and began to strengthen and organize. When it developed a closed circulation it became Tropical Depression Eighteen. It continued to strengthen from there and soon became Tropical Storm Sandy. As it organized it was able to pull in moisture more efficiently, and strengthen quicker. After a few days it received enough energy to become a hurricane.
