Hard to tell, in advance. Lots of high winds, and snow, probably.

Was Hurricane Sandy as bad as was expected?

yes


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.


How bad was hurricane sandy?

So bad, thousands of people died. There are scars left over. Houses are still abandoned today, And communities that were there before the storm were not there after. Flooding, no food or water, no shelter... Ya it was pretty bad.


Why didn't people leave hurricane Sandy's path?

Many people did not think Sandy would be as bad as experts said it would, especially those who had made it through Hurricane Irene the previous year without suffering serious affects. Many people are convinced that is is better to ride out the storm than go through the trouble of evacuating.


Was hurricane Ike the largest hurricane ever?

No. Not by any means. Hurricane sandy was neither the largest nor strongest tropical cyclone on record. Hurricane Sandy has maximum winds of 110 mph (a category 2 hurricane), a minimum pressure of 940 millibars (the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm), and a gale diameter of about 1,100 miles. The largest and most intense tropical cyclone every recorded was Super Typhoon Tip, which had peak winds of 190 mph (well into category 5), a minimum pressure of 870 millibars, and a gale diameter of nearly 1400 miles. The strongest Atlantic hurricane on record, if you use wind speed, was Hurricane Camille with winds of 190 mph. If you use pressure the strongest Atlantic storm was Hurricane Wilma at 882 millibars. In terms of wind speeds tornadoes are the strongest storms, with winds potentially exceeding 300 mph.
