How did the tropical storm turn into hurricane sandy?

Tropical Storm Sandy became a hurricane in the same way as any other. The storm drew in moist air that was present due to warm ocean water. This moist air provided energy that strengthened the convection within the storm, causing the pressure to drop and pull air in with even grater force, which increased wind speeds. When those speeds reached 74 mph Sandy became a hurricane.


Why did hurricane sandy happen in New York?

Hurricane Sandy occurred in New York due to a combination of atmospheric and oceanic conditions. In late October 2012, Sandy formed in the Caribbean and gained strength as it moved northward, interacting with a cold front and an upper-level trough. This unique convergence of weather systems caused Sandy to take an unusual left turn towards the U.S. East Coast, making landfall in New Jersey and impacting New York with storm surge, high winds, and heavy rainfall. The geography of New York, particularly its low-lying coastal areas, made it particularly vulnerable to the storm's effects.
