Hurricane Sandy occurred due to a combination of atmospheric and oceanic conditions that favored its formation. It began as a tropical storm in the Caribbean and intensified as it moved northward, fueled by warm ocean waters. The storm's trajectory was influenced by an unusual dip in the jet stream, which steered Sandy toward the U.S. East Coast, where it made landfall in October 2012, causing widespread devastation. Climate change may also have contributed by increasing sea surface temperatures, potentially intensifying storms like Sandy.
