Storms are more likely to form right after a new moon. Also found hurricanes got stronger 49% more often after a new moon than at any other time during the lunar cycle.The most plausible explanation is that the moon affects ocean water circulation similar to the way the moon affects the tides along the coast.Out of curiosity, I went back and checked the data on Hurricane Ike. Indeed, four days after a new moon Ike intensified into a category four hurricane while it was still in the open Atlantic Ocean.Further study should be done to see if similar patterns can be detected on hurricanes that developed in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Hurricane Sandy made landfall in New Jersey on October 29, 2012.
Errors in forecasting the forward speed of a hurricane can affect the accuracy of predicting the hurricane's landfall location and time. A slower forward speed may result in prolonged periods of heavy rainfall and increased flood risk, while a faster forward speed can lead to the hurricane impacting different areas than initially anticipated. Overall, errors in forecasting the forward speed can significantly impact evacuation plans and disaster response efforts.
The most destructive hurricane of 2005 was Hurricane Katrina. It was the most destructive hurricane ever recorded.
Both the new moon and the full moon are phases of the moon's cycle. They both occur when the moon is in alignment with the Earth and the sun. During a new moon, the moon is not visible from Earth while during a full moon, the entire face of the moon is illuminated.

The worst impacts of Hurricane Sandy were in New Jersey and New York.
one was new Orleans
Flooding, Wind, Rain
An almost full moon increased the height of the tide during Hurricane Sandy's storm surge. Homes were flooded with more than 4 feet of water in mere seconds.

No
It may affect New york but it probably won't hit it directly.
Scientifically it doesn't
Yes. The moon is the primary factor in the tides. High tides are highest and low tides are lowest during a full moon and a new moon. Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the U.S. at high tide during a full moon. As a result, the already large storm surge cam in on top of an already high water level from the tide.
Monsters - Hurricane Bells Great song!!
When the storm surge of a hurricane comes in at high tide the affect is worse, as the height of the high tide is added to the storm surge to produce a storm tide. The high tide is highest during the full and new moon phases.
