super storm sandy happened on 2/25 October 2012
Hurricane Sandy in 2012 caused extensive damage on Long Island, with strong winds, heavy rains, and storm surges leading to power outages, flooding, and property destruction. The storm resulted in significant financial losses and long-lasting impacts on the region.
While there are 'Super Typhoons' in the Pacific, there are no equivalent 'Super Hurricanes' in the Atlantic. This is not a question of size of storm, just of nomenclature. A Typhoon becomes 'Super' when its winds get above 150 mph. This is equivalent to a strong Category 4 Hurricane. So a 'Super Hurricane' would effectively be a Category 4 or 5 Hurricane. The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) does use the term 'Major Hurricane', but applies this to any storm over Category 3. So there's no direct equivalence between a 'Super Typhoon' and a 'Major Hurricane': they overlap but not perfectly. Previously, in the 50s and 60s the term 'Great Hurricane' was used instead of 'Major'.

Typhoon Tip was a tropical cyclone that remains the largest and most intense ever recorded. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale (SSHS) rated the powerful storm a category 5 super typhoon. It's highest wind speeds were 190 miles per hour. The only storm which surpasssed it was Super Typhoon Nancy, another category 5 super typhoon, had winds which sometimes passed 210 MPH
A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions, including strong winds and heavy rain, are possible within the specified area within the next 48 hours. It is a warning for residents to start taking precautions and preparing for the potential impacts of the approaching storm.

Hurricane Sandy was an unusually large and powerful storm and its great destructive potential was recognized days before its final landfall. Sandy merged with a non-tropical storm system in a manner similar to the Perfect Storm of 1991 and it technically was no longer a hurricane when it made landfall in New Jersey.
The aftermath of super-storm Sandy has left many in a diluvial hell.
yes it would only be a regular storm
At landfall in the U.S. Sandy was not truly a hurricane any more as the storm had lost its tropical characteristics. For much of the time that it was active Sandy combined traits of a tropical and an extratropical cyclone, becoming a sort of extremely large and powerful hybrid cyclone.
They pick up water from the warm ocean waters. See the related link listed below for detailed information on Sandy's growth from a tropical wave in the western Caribbean Sea, to the monster storm she became.
At least 19 States plus Washington DC will be affected by the 'super storm' created by Hurricane Sandy, or from the convergence of Hurricane Sandy and the Canadian cold front.
