Hurricane Sandy formed as Tropical Depression Eighteen over the eastern Caribbean Sea on October 22, 2012.

Sandy then weakened to a category 1 hurricane over the Bahamas on October 26 and traveled parallel to the U.S. east coast. Then on October 19 Sandy made a westward turn and struck New Jersey as an extratropical cyclone. Sandy weakened and continued inland over Pennsylvania, degenerating into a remnant low.
