Why were people not prepared for Hurricane Sandy?
There were a few reasons. First, Hurricane Sandy made a direct impact on a region not accustomed to storms of that magnitude. Second, Sandy was a very unusual storm in a number of ways, including its unprecedented westward turn. Third, that same region had been impacted by Hurricane Irene the previous year. Irene was a damaging storm, but was not quite as bad in the northeast region as had been expected. As a result, many dismissed the dire warnings about Hurricane Sandy as exaggeration.
