What characteristics made hurricane sandy a hurricane?
Hurricane Sandy was a hurricane because it was a large scale tropical system with a closed circulation, a defined center of rotation, organized convection, a warm core, and sustained winds in excess of 74 mph. All these are needed to qualify as a hurricane. However, at landfall in the U.S. Sandy had lost tropical characteristics, and so was technically no longer a hurricane but a very powerful post-tropical cyclone.
What is Hurricane Sandy's nickname?
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.
Why did hurricane sandy hit New York?
Hurricane Sandy's impact on the U.s. east coast was the result of something called a blocking pattern. A powerful high pressure system over Greenland stalled the normal eastward flow of weather systems in the temperate latitudes and Sandy from moving further north. So Sandy made an unprecedented turn to the west and into the U.S. East Coast.
How many people were hurt from Hurricane Sandy?
At least 30 deaths have been so far attributed to Hurricane Sandy, and the numbers are still rising.See the related link listed below for more information:

Why did you skip from Hurricane Nadine to Hurricane Sandy?
There was no skip from Hurricane Nadine to Hurricane Sandy. In between there were Tropical Storm Oscar, Tropical Storm Patty, and Hurricane Rafael. However, these storms stayed at sea without having any significant impacts and so did not attract much media attention.

Why did hurricane sandy produce so much rain?
All hurricanes produce large amounts of rain. It is a result of the huge amount of moisture a hurricane carries.
Why did hurricane sandy move to the US?
Hurricane Sandy's impact on the U.S. east coast was largely the result of something called a blocking pattern. Hurricane Sandy first formed over the Caribbean Sea and moved northward. This was likely due to the Azores High, a semipermmanent high pressure area over the Atlantic that plays a major role in the paths of Atlantic hurricanes. As Sandy moved parallel to the east coast a powerful high pressure system over Greenland stalled the normal eastward flow of weather systems in the temperate latitudes and prevented Sandy from moving further north. So Sandy made an unprecedented turn to the west and into the U.S. East Coast.
How can a hurricane strengthen over cold water such as Hurricane Sandy in October of 2012?
As Hurricane Sandy was moving up the U.S. east coast it was undergoing something called extratropical transition, meaning it was losing the characteristics that defined it as a tropical cyclone (a hurricane or tropical storm) and was becoming an extratropical cyclone. Extratropical cyclones gain their energy from contrasting air temperatures rather than from warm ocean water. This temperature contrast was provided by a cold front connected to another extratropical cyclone that collided with Sandy. Sandy had completed extratropical transition by the time of landfall in New Jersey and so technically was no longer a hurricane.
