Today as of 10/28/12 the light rail will officially shut down at approximately 9:30 last department.
More than 100 houses burned down during Hurricane Sandy in the Breezy Point neighborhood of Queens.
Both Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Katrina were extremely large, destructive hurricanes that struck the United States, causing massive flooding. At over $100 billion Hurricane Katrina is the costliest hurricane in U.s. history with Sandy coming in second place at about $50 billion. Both produced very high storm surges, with Sandy's peaking at 13-14 feet and Katrina's peaking at 28 feet. Both essentially shut down major cities, with Sandy shutting down New York City and Katrina shutting down New Orleans, though for much longer and under much worse conditions. Both were also part of abnormally active hurricane seasons.
Probably not, as Hurricane Sandy is bearing down.
Well it effected the geoshpere alot from knocking down power lines which caused to lose electricty! ALso the high tides didnt exactly help the hurricane either.
At peak intensity, Hurricane Katrina had sustained winds of 175 mph. When it came ashore in Louisiana and Mississippi, the winds were down to about 125 mph (Category 3). Katrina set records for storm strength in the Gulf of Mexico, but most of these were topped by Hurricanes Rita and Wilma later that same year (2005).
If you are referring to Hurricane Sandy, then yes. Millions will be without power.

trees were knocked down and the water polluted

That is an a opinion but yes I think it did. Or maybe it just deflated or when a hurricane comes it runs on a generator and it broke down.

It effected it by knocking down trees, trees knocking power lines, and most people having their homes destroyed.
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.
Similarities:Both Katrina and Sandy were extremely destructive Atlantic hurricanes. They were the costliest and second costliest hurricanes in U.S. history with Price tags of $105 billion and $50 billion respectively.Both formed during very active hurricane seasons.Both were extremely large hurricanes, causing high storm surges and very widespread damage.Both flooded and shut down major U.S. cities; Katrina hit New Orleans and Sandy shut down New York City, though for a much shorter time.Both storms ultimately merged with other systems.Differences:Hurricane Katrina was far more intense than Sandy, peaking as a category 5 storm with 175 mph winds and striking the U.S. as a category 3. Sandy was a category 2 storm at peak strength with 110 mph winds, and hit the U.S. at category 1 intensity.Katrina was a hurricane in every sense of the word at landfall in the U.S. with full tropical characteristics. Sandy was a post-tropical cyclone at landfall in the U.S. and so was technically no longer a hurricane.Hurricane Katrina started on a westward path, hitting Florida and then turning north to hit the U.S. Gulf coast, a similar path to that taken by numerous Atlantic hurricanes. Hurricane Sandy started on a northward path, before making an unprecedented westward turn to hit the U.S. east coast.Hurricane Katrina's damage was almost exclusively in the United States while Sandy caused significant damage and several dozen deaths in the Caribbean.Hurricane Katrina was far deadlier than Sandy, killing more than 1,800 people. Hurricane Sandy killed just over 200 people.
yes. a hurricane is very strong.
