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.
