Hurricane Sandy was loosing tropical characteristics as it approached shore and was completely post tropical by the time of its landfall in New Jersey, so it technically wasn't a hurricane any more.
By that time Sandy was a very large storm system and was merging with an extratropical low. The two systems, both rotating counterclockwise, pulled cold air down from Canada on their western sides, making it cold enough for snow in some of the more mountainous areas.
All hurricanes produce large amounts of rain. It is a result of the huge amount of moisture a hurricane carries.
Yes. All of New York City was impacted by Hurricane Sandy.
Hurricane Sandy was a hurricane because it was a large scale tropical system with a closed circulation, a defined center of rotation, organized convection, a warm core, and sustained winds in excess of 74 mph. All these are needed to qualify as a hurricane. However, at landfall in the U.S. Sandy had lost tropical characteristics, and so was technically no longer a hurricane but a very powerful post-tropical cyclone.
No one knows for certain, but as of now, Hurricane Sandy is quite a ways from shore and is still causing significant damage to the shorelines. It would be recommended to follow all safety precautions given to you because any hurricane especially Sandy can be very dangerous.
Hurricanes have hit New York in 1821, 1893, 1938, and 1954.
From the island of Jamaica in the western Caribbean Sea, Cuba, the Bahamas, the eastern seaboard states of the United States, and eastern Canada have all been affected by Hurricane Sandy.
Not at all. Hurricanes and tsunamis have absolutely nothing to do with each other, and as of October 28, 2012 there are no imminent tsunami threats. Additionally, Hurricane Sandy is affecting the Eastern U.S. and will affect parts of eastern Canada. It will not come anywhere near nor have any affects whatsoever on Hawaii.
Hurricane Sandy was created in the Caribbean, like many hurricanes, and then was carried northward by prevailing winds. Weather systems are embedded in larger air masses, and all the air in the world is moving in some way or another. Hurricane Sandy was then pushed westward into the U.S. east coast by a high pressure system to northeast.
In Hurricane Sandy, water would rise almost to houses roofs. Alot of houses were destroyed and people lost their lifes or got badly injured.People are still trying to rebuild all the building. I don't have all the information on what exacly happened but u can search on MSN.com.

It is fairly common for a hurricane to produce tornadoes around landfall, however, not all hurricanes produce tornadoes, and most tornadoes are not associated with hurricanes.
The worst risk from Hurricane Sandy if you live in New York City is high winds against high rise buildings, and high winds against high rises with all glass.
