Sandy was a hurricane (the 19th of the season) that formed in the Caribbean, traveled north over the Atlantic off the coast of the US, then veered suddenly west into New York and the vicinity. A hurricane is an extremely powerful cyclonic storm with winds exceeding 75 mph that can be hundreds of miles in diameter. Most hurricanes that have landfall on the US form in the Caribbean.

Why was there a Full moon on night of sandy?

The full moon on the night of Hurricane Sandy was a result of the lunar cycle, which occurs approximately every 29.5 days. This specific full moon, known as the "blue moon," coincided with the storm, leading to higher tides and exacerbating coastal flooding. The combination of the storm surge from Sandy and the elevated tides made the impact of the hurricane even more severe for affected areas.
