Hurricane Sandy was widely referred to as Superstorm Sandy. This is partly because at landfall in the U.S. Sandy had lost tropical characteristics and so technically was no longer a hurricane.

Sandy was also referred to as "Frankenstorm," but this practice was discontinued as the rather whimsical name downplayed the seriousness of this very dangerous storm.
